[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
If there is no release date how can anyone answer that.... I'd say go through radio shack to be sure if u really Want to pre order it... otherwise wing it like I think I'm gonna..

Just makes me laugh that T-Mobile is goingvto have 2 dual core phones before sprint even has one...

And T-Mobile has had release dates set weeks ahead of time
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
lol good question, I figured since the phone is expected in June, maybe someone on here who works at sprint could have heard something about the deal being extended into July.....but i don't know.

Thanks for the help look like i'll go to the shack today to preorder
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
whats the benefit of pre-ordering from radioShack instead of BB or Sprint????
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Sprint might charge more

Best buy sucks

And I work for them....

Radio shack = better choice
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
June 4th is the last date. However there is talk they might extend it again.
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
I heard it was supposed to be the 23rd. But that was just my local store rep.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
No the 23rd is when the 125 and 55 dollar porting credit ends
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
Like I said it was just my stores rep. We all know how reliable they are
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Haha yeah just like when a rep told me they have the evo 3d already and walked me over to the evo. 4g...... oh well lol
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
never had any problem with BB and phones EVER
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Bo in general our company. Policy's suck...

I seen dozens of people complained how the sales associate pushed them into it or they basically force you to get upgrades/warranties/all the cases and chargers...

The phones are fine it's just some of the upselling could calm down

I watched one of my friends talk a 60 year old Guy into buying a ipad with at least 500 dollars worth of **** including warranty by telling him he "needs it"
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
I know its our job but I heard that old Guy say no atleast 3 times

And yeah its his fault for buying it but my god
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
My co worker did that to a customer...i about flipped a **** on them, the employee I mean
[HTC EVO 3D] donaldvtrinh1:


Agreed... go with radio Shack... save some money. Best buy will charge you tax on the full price of the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
Are you sure? Did this just start recently? They didn't tax me on the full price of the phone when I bought my Evo from BB last year. I still have the receipt. I was charged the two year upgrade rate of 199.00 for the phone and I bought a 35.00 case along with it. The subtotal was 234.98. Tax was 16.45. Total cost was 251.43. Tax rate in Indiana is 7 percent. Had I been charged tax on the full price of the phone which was what? 600.00? I would have paid almost 42.00 on the phone tax alone.

Now what they did do that I didn't like, was charge tax on the 50 dollar gift card which should have been deducted from the final tax cost but it wasn't so I paid 3.50 too much in tax.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Alright I pre-ordered it. The dude that worked there was cool... I almost thought they were closed because there was only 1 car towards the back and looked dark. Anyway the dude that worked there was really cool and we talked about the phone a little. He said he thinks early- mid June and also that he would personally call or email me when the release date is announced.
[HTC EVO 3D] ebolamonkey3:
But preordering from Radio Shack means one wouldn't get the $125 rebate for switching from another carrier right?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I believe you just go online and submit for that credit. Shouldn't matter where you buy the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
Sprint keeps extending the instant mail-in rebates. It was re-extended until the 23rd, the day before the EVO 3D launch
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Howewwwww convenient.............
[HTC EVO 3D] birdpwr:
I talked to Sprint rep today to get my 300 extra minutes, and I asked him about my upgrade eligibility. The guy told me that pre-ordering from either BB or RS would result in an $18 activation fee AND that my 1-year/$75 upgade wouldn't be applied. That's just what I was told by him...

I don;t know how true this actually is though...
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
I see that they're keeping with the pattern. It was expiring the 4th, the next day the xprt releases. Now it expires the 23rd next day 3d releases
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
I thought they had a pattern going. I don't see them changing the way they have been doing things and looks like the 24th is the date.

Wondering if someone could help me out here...

Last night I was browsing XDA on my phone, and I came across a black and white theme (I thought it was posted in the "post your homescreen" thread but I can't find it) where the homescreen showed some high-end headphones and the icons all looked like black splashed paint. Anyone know where that post is so I can find it again?

Tried searching but couldn't find anything, so I'm hoping someone else saw it and knows where it is.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidquesada:
hello everyone, I've been having problems with my sim card since friday, after I flashed cyanogen, and I believe the kernel mod by netarchi, I wasn't able to send text messages, even tho I could receive and make phone calls, receive sms and use internet.

I called my carrier and they told me that everything was normal, we tried everything and it was just not working everything was pointing at the phone, I tried putting my sister sim card and it worked. we were able to send text messages, :confused: i tried my sim card in my sister phone and it was sending sms too... so I went to one of my carrier offices and they gave me a new sim card, and now it's fixed, even tho they told me that it was my phone's fault.

so now I wonder, do u guys think that maybe I bricked my sim card, while flashing a file, (baseband specially) I know it sounds totally weird but is the only logical explanation to me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
or it could just be a coincidence.

it probably is just a coincidence, you should also check your APNs and things like that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
I've had that problem before. Rather then give you a new sim, they could have just repushed yours over the air. A reboot of the phone and it was fixed. The problem is caused by you trying to update the wrong sms number to the sim card. (done in the phone info screen). Leave the sms number alone.

I have an Inspire 4G/Desire HD and while this isn't my first android phone (Backflip and Aria) This is the first time I seriously considered rooting. I don't find battery life to be that much of an issue, but I want to root for the customization options i.e font changes and the such, however I don't know where to begin. Im confused about doing NANDroid backups and flashing roms and radios. sorry if a similiar topic has been posted already. And if I do root I'm looking for something with gingerbread for my phone.

Hi guys! sometimes you try to install an APK file and the only message you see is "INSTALL FAILED" or "INSTALL UNSUCESSFULL" but there is no explanation of why. There is any way to see why it don't install on a particular rom and work on others?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I suppose you could use logcat (you're gonna need the Android SDK installed on your computer first), a lot of the time a reboot fixes the install problem - unless you're out of memory to store the application on.

then reinstall packages again. should work for you.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iamcombat:
Well since you only have 3 posts I think ill wait to see if anyone else chimes in...don't want to do anything to my phone that would brick it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] comingup:
Better safe than sorry, I just started contributing after quite some time now so I do not blame you one bit.

However...

That link is the CWM recovery for 2e bootloaders.

What ROM are you using?

You can always get ODIN 1.82 and flash an optimized kernel like hardcore's speedmod K9A which already has CWM.

EDIT: haha or you could just ODIN one-click to stock, root, and go CW Rom manager and from there flash recovery. I know that will work 100%, but that link is just a shortcut through all that nonsense.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] silverslotcar:
Just flash clockworkmod recovery.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] KnifesEdge:
I had this problem the other day when I was trying to flash a new rom. I tried flashing CWM many times to no avail.

Like one of the previous repliers said, I flashed the speedmod kernel which had CWM already. The kernel can be found here.

Use Odin to flash it. After that, i could boot manually to CWM, but when i tried to boot to it through rom manager i was pushed to the stock recovery. In that case, I simply flashed my rom manually with CWM.

Theres also a good video on this for the i9000 which worked for me:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7xV0yE9ZcA

Hope this helps.

Hi, when i am trying to connect to wifi, the phone says that it is unseccesful, as it couldn't reach the wifi network.

what is this? Should I take my phone out for servicing?

however, this does not happen to all wifis, it only happens to some. to some wifis, I can connect.

Can't connect to hidden networks by default, said to come in Mango. So it doesn't have to be something wrong with your set tbh.

The thing is, its not a hidden network I'm trying to connect to, its my own ad-hoc network.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
I've never been able to find out what the deal is with Viewsonic and access to the Android Market. My buddy has the latest OTA update (4349, as I recall) and it stoll doesn't have Market access.

Is it a licensing thing? Does Viewsonic not like the rest of the Android community? Do they figure most of the apps are for phones?

Can someone explain this?

.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedlogan42:
It's not Viewsonic. It's Google.

http://www.mobilespoon.net/2009/07/what-is-google-experience.html

Besides the Galaxy Tab, 2.2 was not meant to be used for tablets. Google said that over and over. Because of that, all those tablets were not Google Experience level tablets; hence, they don't get access to Google apps, including the Market.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
Ah ... so it IS a licensing-type thing. Google and VS haven't come to an agreement that allows the G Tab to have the full Google Experience.

Now I get it. Thanks. :)

HTC will no longer lock their android phones' bootloaders (HBOOT). Just as we've seen on the HTC Aria (HBOOT 1.02.0000) and the EVO having locked bootloaders making it harder to root (needs NAND unlock).

Any ideas? Ty :D

[XPERIA X8 General] bensabin:
It's easy, you have 3 numbers every number correspond to an user

You have in this order owner, group, all.

Exemple:

if the permission is 765:

Owner = 7

7 in dec = 111 in binary

rwx

111

the file is readable, writable and executable by the owner

Group = 6

6 in dec = 110 in binary

rwx

110

the file is readable, writable and not executable by the group (owning the file)

all = 5

5 in dec = 101 in binary

rwx

101

the file is readable, not writable and executable by all
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
binary??? How do I turn dec to binary and vice versa?
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:

I own an Asus P320 WM6.1 device. In the morning, when I reset my phone, it got stuck at "welcome" screen. It just wouldn't start. I tried it several times and waited for a long time for it to load, but in vain.

I then though I might as well flash it as I had had the ROM I was using in my memory card(P320 WWE V4.15.0), but always got the "init sd download fail'. As the last resort, I thought of flashing it to WM6.5 ROM that I had used before. It flashed successfully, but now it gets stuck at the bootscreen, showing the version number. I tried flashing a couple of times with different WM6.5 P320 compatible ROMS(including hdubli's), but the result is the same.

Have I bricked my phone? My phone responds to soft reset on poke and all I can see is the asus bootscreen. Please help!!

You mean do a factory reset(cold boot)?

Well I cannot do that as I cannot start my phone. It gets stuck at the screen where it shows Asus logo with the version of the ROM currently in use. As stated before, I however tried to flash it using the latest WM6.1 ROM available on the Asus website(I had it in the root of my memory card), but got the problem of "init SD download fail".

What do I do?? :(

Edit: I also tried hard reset. It asks me two options:

Press [Send] key to restore

Press [End] key to exit

When I press the send key(call button), I get the message "cold boot start". After a couple of seconds, the ROM version number overlaps this message, and it gets stuck. :(
