[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Yeah I think it smart to hold onto EVO 4G, wait for the official Gingerbread update with newer Sense update. Then after the EVO 3D has been out a little while and a root finally made, the ROM's will be out shortly after.

I just think our current EVO's with the Gingerbread update and ROM's built off that update will be amazing, that will hold me over till the EVO 3D is rooted and ROM'd.

But for sure the EVO 3D will be a beast with a good Sense based ROM like Myn's. Imagine that ROM on the EVO-2, with dual cores, 1gb memory, 4gb storage, and running on Android 2.3 :eek: Will be warp speed fast, and buttery smooth.
[EVO 4G General] dabbill:
Its all about the Nexus 3 now :D I am praying it comes to sprint.
[EVO 4G General] Jjday7:
1+ gotta see if that bootloader is locked. If so I will keep my Evo. I heard the sensation on mobile is locked down so don't be surprised if the Evo 3some is too.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
How does no 3D = thinner/lighter?

There's no negative to having 3D capability, you don't have to use it.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
I'm holding off for a bit. Pretty happy with my Evo and have no desire for 3D anything. Phone should be a beast though, and provided Sprint doesn't have something comparable coming out in the near future, I may end up getting up on it. If anything I'd jump on the Nexus, but I'm in no rush to jump.
[EVO 4G General] tropicalbrit:
Gotta see what the situation with the bootloader is.

If it is unlocked, wait a little bit, let the devs work and get out some ROMs, get the 3D. Gotta love them specs!

...but hold onto my EVO too for the heck of it :)
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yeah, you honestly don't buy new products [especially technology] in the first few weeks of its release.

Perfect example: Palm Pre

Hopefully the bootloader won't be locked as well.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
Seeing as how I'm not eligible for an upgrade until Aug 12, I'm going to be sticking with the Evo for a while.

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
True.

We shouldn't buy new Android phones, until root.

As much as I want to be a day 1 EVO 3D user, I'm not playing the early adopter game unless its rooted, pre release.

I'm doubting there is going to be a locked bootloader coming our way, Sprint & T-Mobile are the least likely of the Big 4 to request one.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Well it's more than just confirming the ability to have full root.

If you wait a few weeks after release you really get to see the issues that exist [if any] for that phone.

I am not about trusting based on past performance or name.

The Palm Treo lineup has some phones that STILL UNTIL THIS DAY function just fine.

Yet the Pre was garbage.

Allowing others to beta test is smart :)
[EVO 4G General] moonzbabysh:
I for one will definitely be upgrading to the evo 3d, but because my current Evo is still going strong, which I've had since the day before officially released, i love best buy :), im going to hold off till root is achieved and a wealth of roms are out and first generation evo 3d bugs get ironed out too. My 2 cents.

Uplinked through my mind
[EVO 4G General] kydkupa:
I'll definitely be getting the 3D. Not for the 3D but for the dual core processor and the 1gb of ram. Its a better looking, faster more powerful Evo. Why wouldn't you want to get it? Im sure HTC wont lock the Bootloader seeing as how none of their other devices are locked. Plus ill be able to take high res pics of my finace's you know what...lol j/k..... nah i was fa real http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/cool.gif
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
By the time it comes to sprint HTC will be announcing the third gen evo... we wont even get the sgs2 til late 3rd/early 4th quarter.

As far as buying devices day one, I've had my evo since day one and its been solid. In addition, with sprint's 30 guarantee you can't lose.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] snowboarda42:
I'm going to wait and see what kind of development and support it ends up with after a while. The amount of dev's making ROMS here is phenomenal and I'd hate to end up with a phone that we couldn't do much else with.
[EVO 4G General] JayDaKissEP:
Look at the video on youtube about evo 3D. Its going to be sick. I'm gonna pay extra for it.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
I've had the opposite experience, my launch EVO suffers from the backlight bleeding alongside the buttons and 'ghost' touches on the screen.

I was so excited for the original EVO though, I'm still glad I got it on launch day.

It's still such a solid device though that I'll probably wait at least a month or two after the 3D comes out to get it.

If someone were to upload their music/videos to a cloud service such as amazon cloud or google music, would legal action force the service to open users stored files to scrutiny by investigators looking to sue for copyright infringement?

D2G stock & rooted
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I can't see how they could tell the source of the music even if they had access to it. They'd be on very shaky ground legally if they tried to gain access to it anyway. How could they dictate where people store their music?

I am sick and tired of the mafiaa tactics though. They're trying to maintain a stranglehold on their antiquated business models whilst stymying innovation, pretending they care about the artists when all they are really doing is dipping into everyones pockets to make money for themselves.

After lawyers, these people are the worst bottom feeding scum on the planet. I wouldn't piss on one if they were on fire, but i would dance on their graves.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Hmm... will be illegal/impossible on several fronts. I'll try explaining from both the legal and technological point of view. We'll start with the legal.

LEGAL

First, they need to prove that the music is:

1. Copyright belongs to them

2. Under your current ownership

3. You didn't get it legally

To do that, they will need to prove that the entire song has been obtained from an illegal source, and that you are currently using/having it.

TECHNOLOGICAL

The limitation is on two ends here:

1. They need to identify the song

2. They need to identify that you've gotten the song illegally

So, long story short, there is a chance for that to happen, because they might be able to prove where you downloaded the music from.

Stay safe. Stay behind 7 proxies.

[Off-topic] mallend:
I do not think it will happen.

When I first read about the Amazon Cloud service, almost every news article said that Amazon themselves might be getting sued for the service. I did/do not understand this either. Seeing as it is my music, and Amazon is offering a storage space for it, why could it bring any lawsuit to Amazon?
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Because big media don't want you to do anything with the music that you paid for without being able to charge you more for doing it.

Don't forget that you don't own that music. You're only paying for the right to use it under their terms and conditions. :rolleyes:

I know ROMs for the GSM Nexus S won't work for the CDMA variant, but can someone explain why? If there are files within 2.3.4 that support WiMAX and CDMA, why can't we use them on the NS4G? Will it brick if we try to flash a GSM Nexus S ROM on it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JewishMatt:

[GT540 Optimus General] chaudha4@hotmail.com:
Actually the drivers were working fine initially. That how I was able to upgrade my phone from stock ROM to swiftdroid. If I go back to Eclair versions (data2sys versions), it works again. But If I go to gingerbread version ( both Murik and yours data2sys version), it stops working.

Seems like no one else is seeing this problem. So it must be something stupid that I am doing.

I had the exact same problem until recently .

The isssue is driver related - drivers for 2.1 and 2.3 aren't all the same .

Fixed it by uninstaling all LG drivers using device menager ( right click on my computer ) , and after that instaling this driver pack mediafire.com/?59v94x0694pdxj7 ( it contains all drivers needed ) . All i did after is pluged in my phone and it autoinstaled a few more drivers and after MASS storage worked just fine .

P.S same goes if any1 has device not found using ADB bridge ...

I hope this helps :) if you have any questions feel free to ask

What is the best hip holster case out there that looks good (not cheap) and is solid for the EVO 4G? Also, must allow for kickstand access.

Ballistic cases um trident,seidio innocase active. All top brands I usta use expensive cases but noticed every time you charge your phone or use it a lot outside in the heat it gets pretty toasty.

If youre rough on the phone,id say Ballistic all the way.

[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Look on Google they want 30 dollars trident site wants 40 something for it. I ordered mine last night on ebay red one its suppose to be slimmer then ballistic . Looks better then ballistic has color options . Doesn't come with a holster tho I emailed the trident company to see if they have anything for it.

The case looks sweet tho not as fat as ballistic case . YouTube has video review of the case .

I'll take pics of it when it gets here Monday .
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Also Kraken built-in screen protector sits well on your screen no need for a screen protector on your phone saves you money :D trying to find more info on holster for it .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
hmm... from past experiences from SGS1 and SNS

they are bound to automatically re-connect to my car for BT audio streaming, i use it practically everyday

that being said, the experience is the same with past old phones like Treo and Windows phones, although those had some minor annoyances. similar to what you have just described specially the windows phones.

so, it might be possible the SGS2 BT audio profile might not be fully compatible with your car BT receiver.

does it automatically pickup phone calls using the BT headset (handsfree) profile ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahniex:
In my case the problem is not actual pairing. I have a Pioneer bluetooth car stereo. It has been paired but for it to see the S2, the phone must be made visible each time. Despite being paired it still needs to be made visible.

Despite extensive searches, I have never found a way to make it permanently visible. There is a silly timer which turns off visibility after 120 seconds.

Previously, with my old Windows 6 and even Windows 5 phone, I used to just go into my car and go - no fiddling with phones - never even took it out of my pocket. Now I need to make it visible each time and this really bugs me.

Don't tell me it is more secure - that's my choice and should not be Android's choice.:mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frogfoot:
have you tried editing the /system/etc/bluetooth/main.conf file

there is a line

#how long to stay discoverable mode before going back to non-discoverable

#The value is in seconds, (0=stay pairable forever)

DiscoverableTimeout =120

Needless to say try it at your own risk, you will probably need a rooted phone and something like root explorer to edit the file.

Hope this helps
