hmm is this leak android 2.3.4? or still 2.3.3
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
2.3.3
[HTC EVO 3D] dsuare021979:
Can this be install in the Evo 4G ?
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
No do not if u want sense 3.0 go to evo 4g delelopment
[HTC EVO 3D] evoandroidevo:
So the bootlader is going to be unlocked yay then i know for sure im geting it
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
EVENTUALLY unlocked, but it's not launching unlocked.
[HTC EVO 3D] eurominican:
Are you 100% sure it will be unlocked? Are you going by what the CEO said or some other insider tip/info/etc? Im really weary of using an upgrade plus $200 on a handset that is locked..
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
Why, you know its a matter of time before its hacked. Plus, if you trade ur EVO in, its only $50 out of pocket
[HTC EVO 3D] eurominican:
Please correct me if Im wrong but my understanding is that there is virtually no way to flash a custom recovery/ROM to the handset unless the bootloader is unlocked/encryption is disabled. Aren't some Motorola and HTC handsets out there still only able to run stock ROMs because the bootloader is locked? I know it could be possible to achieve root access after the handset has booted up but its just a temporary hack that goes away when you reboot, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
Yeah, correct.
[HTC EVO 3D] 063_XOBX:
It's not impossible. If an older RUU from before the bootloader was encrypted leaks then it would be no problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeyldev:
HTC doesn't "encrypt" their bootloaders like motorola. Essentially it's easier to root and have fun with. That's why all the best devs are on HTC and why they will continue to sell a lot of phones.

Samsung apparently picked up on the importance of the dev community, since they sent the cyanogen fellas/gals some free phones. They figured out the rocket science of "there may be a few hunfred devs, but tens of thousands of end users (those of us that flash the roms)."

The end users are considered "phone nerds" by our friends, but they always ask us what the best phone is, so you can see how exponentially, the devs have a huge impact.

To phone companies,

Make the devs happy, you will sell a s*&@ load of phones.

If your comments in this thread are:

1) not related to development

2) not contributing to development

3) questions...

You should not be posting them, there is a general section for that. I would even go so far as to say there are at least 3 threads pertaining to whatever you are talking about. Please go there.

apparently the folks below me ignored my post... smh
[HTC EVO 3D] Latinaso:
Well, I will be receiving my Evo 3D today, im just waiting for the UPS driver to get here already! he usually arrives at my house around 6pm... So i will be letting you guys know if its unlocked out of the box or what... I really hope so!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
I saw at my sprint store is is S-ON. And others have stated this as well. Thanks tho.

Yes, sadly, it is. :(

Anyone got the Evo 3D yet? Very interested to see what its like, currently torn between the Evo 3D, Sensation and Galaxy S2

i got my 3D n hand now
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffhbo:
Is it possible at this point in time for me to edit any of the apk files in this rom and then simply resign the zip, like I normally would? For example, can I replace the icon png files in the various app apk files? If not, than is it possible to do any kind of basic themeing? Can an "update zip" be created? thank you in advance.

P.S. I always hit the thanks button
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Any changes made to the zip will break the signature and cause the phone to reject it.
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffhbo:
It can't be resigned? Can an update zip be made?
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Only HTC knows how to sign it so that it doesn't get rejected. Same for update.zips.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleedblaqk336:
Can I use this to go back before I accepted the OTA
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
I usually don't like posting where not needed, but I would like to know as well. I'm really itchy to take the updates, but will not until its ok to.
[HTC EVO 3D] phantom92:
Yesterday i was told by a bestbuy rep that seem to know lots about phones includong this one.. that htc was going to release an over the air update soon that would unlock the bootloaders..
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopy1e11:
I turned in my EVO shift n got $155
[HTC EVO 3D] xanadu1979:
Is there any way to run this RUU on a device that has the OTA applied? I tried but I get an error saying something like "bootloader version error".
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
It will let you run it before the OTA but not after. You'll need S-OFF to downgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Yup. I tried to go back because my 3D now lags a lot more than it did before the OTA.
[HTC EVO 3D] igotroot:
I can't download this RUU to save my life!! The site keeps giving me a BS MAC clean up commercial.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
No, it keeps track of the versions. It'll tell you "OTA IS OLDER" or something after it reads it.
[HTC EVO 3D] TrevE:
you can _try_ swapping sd cards to downgrade, weve been playing around in shaking something loose thread

[Optimus One, P500, V General] minu94:
I have a problem with my LG P500. Sometimes,a message I sent is received by the other person after about half an hour or i get the message half an hour late or not at all. This is surely from my phone because I used another phone.and I didn't had any problems. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

I even changed the Rom but still the same problem
[Optimus One, P500, V General] minu94:
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I have Android 2,2
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
okay, assume this isn't your network provider's problem, it will be the problem of your phone's software

"oh everyone knows it, but what software?"

1) Simple SMS app problem. If you use Handcent or GOSMS or whatever, and restored a lot of messages back to your phone, the SMS speed may be affected (but never seen one delayed more than 3 minutes)

Try deleting all the messages on your phone and retry.

2) The interpretation speed between your ROM and your phone. It maybe you did not wipe your phone completely when you flash the new ROM. try wipe again.

3) The firmware of your ROM doesnt meet your local service. Use KDZ updater to restore your phone back to the LOCAL FIRMWARE VERSION. (different locations have different firmwares supported!)

and only update officially from LG / flash to the roms which CLEARLY SHOW YOU THEIR FIRMWARE MATCH YOUR LOCAL'S.

hope these help and looking forward to see your results :)

There is a GUI that I just ran across that was posted I think while I was on the site. Basically someone has created a GUI for GladRoot4.2. Of course GladRoot was created here but there is now a GUI for those of you that don't know what your doing but want root :)

The site I was on is: android-advice.com

I have had the site above in my reader for a while and it seems like they occasionally have good stuff. They are no XDA but seem to keep up to date with things pretty well.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Jakeway:
Sometime ago (months) I went into a Virgin Media store as I am with Virgin Mobile. I asked to see some Windows Phones 7 handsets as I have a HTCHD2 running WP7 and wanted to get a real WP7 phone.

The clerk in the store told me that Windows phones were rubbish and buggy. He also said Virgin are not getting in any new WP7 hands sets as they've moving towards iPhone. I didn’t argue, I showed him my HD2 and went to O2 store a few doors down. Yet again the shop assistant in O2 told me that WP7 were not very good and recommended an Android.

Pretty bad response I felt... but this was around the same time the NoDo update was messing with the Samsung Omnia. I just put it down to staff reading shock gadget sites struggling to make news for their RSS.

The following month, my girlfriend wanted to look at some WP7 hands sets. She went to T Mobile and Orange. She told me that in both shops the staff told her that WP7 was crap and buggy and recommended either iPhone or Android.

So... Today, aforementioned girlfriend went phone shopping with her sister as she is due an upgrade. They went to two Vodafone stores (YES TWO) and asked to see the HTC7 Trophy. Guess what the clerks said in both... Windows Phones are crap and buggy.

They ended up leaving with a HTC Wild Fire as the Clerk said Android was the best OS on the market.

This has really bothered me. It seems that every UK phone shop will quit gladly tell you the windows phone 7 is ****. How can this really be allowed? It is quite intolerable really and it is no wonder the phone isn’t selling as well as it could.

Any average person would be put off by the staff stating telling the phone is buggy and not to buy it.

So, XDA, please try it yourself. Go into a shop, play dumb and ask to see a windows Phone 7 'cos the advert is funny and see what they say.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Same thing happens in US stores, almost since day 1. There is an anti-Microsoft movement that is firmly entrenched, you practically have to fight to get a WP7 handset sold to you. I dont know why Microsoft is not talking to their carrier "partners" but ultimately if the carrier doesnt direct its employees to at least show WP7 devices to potential customer there really is no hope of reversing this trend.

Carriers dont care, OEM's dont care, its basically down to Microsoft to decide how they want to go because they arent getting any support from any of their partners right not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eknutson:
I hate to post a counter point, as I agree with the OP that this is an issue. However, I myself have not experienced it first hand. There are a few different AT&T stores I visit in the Mpls / St. Paul area in Minnesota (USA) and my results have been quite the opposite (also true in Best Buy, where they sell many different phones and contracts).

I've never been told not to go with WP7. In fact, they've often listened excitedly as I told them what I was looking for, and later what it does (I've brought people in to pick up phones, and the clerks like to hear about my Samson Focus).

It is probably worth noting that employees at these locations have iPhones, Androids, WP7s, Black Berry's... so I'm not surprised they are more accepting of the idea that people should get what fits them best. *shrug*
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I must say in Germany Vodafone shop they told me it's really good and the clerk took out HD7 of his pocket to show me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I had a similar experience in the US when I bought mine. I was debating between WP7 and Android, and one salesman called to another and said, "could you show this customer your phone?" - which was an HTC Surround.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
Nothing but poor training. That and some sales clerk will lie throug teeth to sell you a junk phone that makes maximum commission to him/her, not necessary the best phone for you. So, if you've not done your homework before hand, you deserve what you get.

The training is a different issue. That's a business decision the store, the carrier and MS all have to commit.

In my local Corporate AT&T store, the sales clerks are very nice and although they used to push iPhone a lot but if you ask questions about WP7 phones, they never bad mouth the product and give really nice comments.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Have we forgotten:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882901&highlight=tmobile

Has anything changed since this first came up? We will see how verizon handles it but I doubt there will be any love for WP7 from them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] longshanks:
These sales staff are the blind leading the blind. They lie through their teeth and whenever they do I tell them straight its a lie.

They like to push the Iphone as you have to get that on a hefty contract and its an easy sell. Android is gaining mindshare. Not many go out to buy a windows phone - most people dont even know it exists.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
WP7 has never gotten a fair shake, which is sad because it works. I hope just WP7 gets Skype lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hamzie:
It's fair isnt it?

Google is being anal with their youtube support for wp7... so lets take skype away from them :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
hmm, there is a commision gap between xyz phone and the top-o-the-line windows phone...phone ?

do you have any factual data with breakdowns of iphone, android, wp7 commisions paid ?

it would be interesting to see.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hbahaie:
In Egypt, exactly in Port Said Vodafone store, the salesman encouraged me to buy trophy and he described it as a wonderful phone. It is strange that a salesman described wp7 as a buggy, almost he even didn't touch a WP7 device!
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
LOL at your statement.

If I'm the sales officer,of course I'll push the product that gives me more commission.

Just 2 options for you here

1)earn the money for yourself by pushing product with higher commission

2)help M$ earn money by pushing the product with lower commission

I starting to suspect how M$ spent the 500million dollars advertising fee???most probably the advertising fee,ended up by buying their own devices,in order to create a promising sales figure.

From the day 1 of windows phone 7 launched until now,I bet M$ at least gave 200K windows phone 7 to developers and holding events.

To WP7 fanboys,althought you think that WP7 is a good OS,but please admit the downsides.PLEASE...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
One thing we "WP7 fanboys" admit... we getting pretty sick and tired of Android/iPhone/YoMamma fanboys who have nothing better to all day long than to come to WP7 forums and derail perfectly good posts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Then you have to start thinking why...

I can say the usability of the current WP7 is not that good.Everything have to wait until mango,mango....yo have to know that many people not even know about WP7,therefore they won't even give it a chance.

Furthermore,yea,of course windows phone 7 is smooth,but you forgot to mention that,the smoothness is within native apps and you are using a less features OS on an 1ghz processor.

now the thing I worry is that,once mango is released,our devices will be ditched or burired by M$.According to my experience with different OSes,I don't think1 ghz 1st gen snapdragon processor is good enough to handle Mango.

Back to the topic,please forgive those sales officers,they just want to earn money for their lives.they are not blind or not well-training...they are saying the truth and they fighting for their lives.

If you want to argue with me,I don't mind to share my WP7 experiences here,which is a fair view,but does not seems good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I must agree that often salesmen don't have a clue what they're really selling.

I even saw some more weird things in carrier's shops like WRONG description on devices stating the device doesn't have the functionality it has indeed.

The "funniest" one was SonyEricsson P1 (Symbian UIQ) with Windows Mobile sticker on it's screen indictating it really runs on WM. I attach a photo! It was in Orange Store few years ago LOL!!! :D

But yes there is a reason for that. It's "fame" I think.

MS has bad fame, the same with PC. Now Windows7 is able to wipe it out but most of my friends always tell me when I have any problem with PC "get a Mac".

It's hard to fight with such "common sense". It goes beyond knowledge, it's rather a myth and emotions.

But the truth is, iPhone is great in many ways and Android has proven in 1000 ways it's the most powerful and complete option right now. Yes it is the future with so many devices and flexibility it offers. You can't fight it.

What MS has to do is to work work work to create something similar with it's platform. I repeat this again but I honestly don't see anything really attracting customers right now and making them switch from other OS'es in big numbers besides some cases. In my opinion it's not the UI (IMO boring) nor current devices (nothing extra there) nor even Mango, sorry. I may be terribly wrong but I don't see anything REALLY attractive there making people "LOL". People en masse. Maybe I don't read correctly customers feelings but that's how I perceive it. Are you aware that those Mango updates are actually more for Geeks? It's great for us but what about the mass market...

I really think Nokia is THE only possible help here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
+1 to you,doministry...well said.
[Windows Phone 7 General] downloaderintruder:
Yeah sure WP7 isnt selling well here in NZ too, because the way I see it, the public has embraced the iPhone due to its high reputation. I work at Dickies and I can say that at least 75% of our customers have an iPhone, 15% being Android, and 10% being other (blackberry, cheap nokia phones) based on my survey touchscreen next to the counter and some gave a reason why [extracted from log]:

iPhone

1. User - iPhone (reason: high reputation and touchscreen)

2. User - iPhone (reason: ITS APPLE *****ES!!!)

3. User - iPhone (reason: most of my friends has it but I only use it for call and sms)

Android

1. User - Android; LG Optimus One (reason: needed a new phone because the iphone is boring now)

2. Developer - Android; Motorola Defy (reason: i develop apps for android)

3. User - Android; Google Nexus One (reason: because the iphone sucks)

Other

1. User - Nokia 5310 (reason: i rarely use this phone so whats the point of getting a new one)

2. User - Blackberry Bold 9700 (reason: not really into phones)

3. User - Windows Phone 7; HTC Trophy (reason: awesome phone. does a feature that the iphone doesnt - socializing, feels like im more connected to friends than those texts with their names on it.)

So based on my survey, the people in my area tend to have iPhones than any other kind of phones, mostly because the iPhone has gained a lot of attention from the start. Not a lot of people know the differences between phones, all they know is that the iPhone does everything (apparently thats the PS3).
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Lol,the last user you surveyed is yourself?????obviously,the comment is longer.

A few wp7 users i have surveyed in my area.

1)htc mozart: the OS is simple and clean.Of course,it is smooth,but it is due to limited number of features,so requiring less processing power.

2)samsung omnia 7:Love the screen,but the OS is so-so.I can't pause my music on lock screen.I went to XDA site to search for help,but the only solution was hard reset,omg,I spend hours on linking and organise the facebook contacts with my sim contacts.I don't want to do it again.

3)HTC mozart:Love the camera in first sight,but when I brought it home,I was wrong.The pictures have so many noices and camera setting never saved.OMG.I missed heaps of precious shots during my short trip.Furthermore,I shared my experiences at XDA,I thought someone can help or there is some tweaks.Guess what???some friendly users asked me do more research before buying a phone.

4)Lg optimus 7:got it at a low price,don't care about it.just use it as a secondary device.Of course,"wait until mango releases",the favourite quote from XDA WP7 forum

5)samsung focus:love the transitions and animations.However,I prefer these animations put on top on my HTC HD2 windows mobile.

6)htc mozart:Love the solid aluminium built,but the OS??not as good as the form factor.The apps are expensive like hell on marketplace,seriously pacman championship,$ 9AUD????I could buy tiny wings,angry birds and infinity blade for my iphone.

7)Samsung omnia 7: Damn,my phone marketplace is no longer fetching updates.Everytime I have to connect my phone to zune to get updates and I went to XDA to seek for help.The users here told me to do hard-reset.No other solution?other than hard-reset?I'm not here to arguing or insisting that I want a solution for my problem.If the OS is stable,then problem exist.

I spent about 5months,these are the only people I found that using WP7.

Actually I also want to know what WP7 can do that iphone can't,cause I cant even find 1,except the transition and animations.
