If I got to pay any more than $200 per phone to get it I'm going to hold off. I'm fine with the O.G. Evo. This is the first phone I've ever had that I actually feel I can keep for the whole 2 year contract. Guess I'll be using those BB gift cards for my boy some PS3 games :D
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
Thanks KB. I'm just going to wait till they come out and go up there and see how much they say. This ish is confusing, lol. Like I said, if I have to pay more than $200 then I'll stick with the Evo. This has been an awesome phone for me. :p
[EVO 4G General] jcantol:
Wrong, you will pay $150 there is more rebates than just the "$150" on this phone and every other one sprint sells with a new line, premier upgrade or the normail 22 month upgrade
[EVO 4G General] LearnIIBurn:
Pretty stoked to switch to this phone :). The Evo4G was/is the best phone I have ever owned, bought it on release day for $450 off Craigslist and have used it hours and hours each day for a full year. I even sold my 2 laptops and 1 desktop before I moved upstate, and the Evo pretty much worked as my main computer for a few months. Love this damn phone, love HTC, will gladly throw down another $500 mid contract to check out the sequel.
[EVO 4G General] Vegasden:
I was curious...so I went right to the source...Sprint.

If you are eligible for an upgrade, you can get the Evo3D for $199.99 IF you sign up for a new 2 year contract.

The $150 "discount" is if you want to buy the phone and not "re-up" to a new 2 year contract. The Sprint Rep said that the full retail price (what you would pay before the $150 "discount") will be announced on phone release date.

Here is the transcript:
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
I did the same thing, lol.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
I agree, crooks
[EVO 4G General] Vegasden:
That is incorrect. If you use the $150 to pay full retail...that's an OFF CONTRACT price...no new contract.

If you are eligible for an upgrade, you can get the phone for $199.99 WITH a new 2 year contract (extension).
[EVO 4G General] jimisdad:
Isn't Sprint starting a new "port in" fee of $125 for phones bought mid contract? I believe it starts the day after the evo 3d launches.
[EVO 4G General] rolfd:
With respect, I'm getting sick of Evo 3d threads in the Evo 4g forum. We have an Evo 3g forum.

You have to remember that people searching the 3g forum will never see these discussions posted in the wrong place...
[Galaxy S II General] aussiesausage:
Hey guys.

Anyone have any ideas for something different for the desktop?

I'm kind of bored of the usual weather at the top and the apps ect underneath.

I was thinking of the Windows mobile style launcher, but it's just tiles with what ever you want lol.

Anyone got some ideas for a change?
[Galaxy S II General] llBlackenedll:
There is already a Windows Phone 7 style launcher called "Launcher7" however I believe it's just a concept - it looks OK but not great.

If you're looking for a cool launcher that's customisable, I recommend Go Launcher EX, it's the nicest one I've tried (I prefer it to LauncherPRO). However, personally I'm fine with the Touchwiz launcher.

If you want to do some cool stuff with your widgets, maybe have RSS newsfeeds of your favorite sites? For that I'd recommend a widget called "Pulse".
[Galaxy S II General] Reyez14:
Yea I usually gey bored that's why I rooted my phone to cm7. I saw they came out with open home 6 u might wanna check it out
[Galaxy S II General] aussiesausage:
Thanks fellas.

Whats cm7?
[Galaxy S II General] BlueSebba:
Cyanogenmod 7.

Not available for the SGS2 though.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
You could try regina launcher for something a little bit different from the norm or another one which is called circle launcher i believe.
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
While i haven't used it on the SGSII, only my atrix, SPB shell 3d was pretty sick. VERY fast. But still kind of the same setup
[Galaxy S II General] aussiesausage:
Circle launcher looks interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] aussiesausage:
Oh i like circle launcher.
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
i cant believe nobody mentioned SPB Shell 3D. just watch some videos on that and be blown away if you want something "new" and different on your android device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybrid3:
Hi guys,

Got my S2 yesterday after having had HTC for a few years and sony.

I know on the samsungs that there is no LED status light for missed call, text etc but I also know you can get an app to do it.

I have been trying no led but find that its not working very well and very unreliable.

Can anyone offer any alternative suggestions?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arii1986:
Have you heard of BLN? I don't think there's support for it on the SII yet. Basically it turns the capacitive touch keys into backlight LEDS. It was a useful feature on my Galaxy S I9000; I came from HTC as well and missed the LED. This works just as good. You need a custom kernel that supports BLN though and as I've said I havent seen any support as yet...

But give it time and I'm sure there will be :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybrid3:
I had come accross that one. Hopefully a kernel will come that supports it :) Thanks for you help

How do I stop it turning the screen off if its already on?

For example, im using handcent. If im reading or writing a txt and another comes through, it switches the screen off to show the dot. can this be changed?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chemeng:
I have problem with recording calls with all NRG roms on my Topaz. I have tried numerous roms different builds but to no avail. It is not listed as a known problem in the roms info, so I suppose something's wrong.

I have no problem when using a program like ACR, but I would like the stock functionality, as it offers selective call recording (you initiate the recording) and not automatic.

Is there probably a law conformation thing that keeps my TD2 (European product) from recording calls?

How much is the phone off contract
[HTC EVO 3D] greg.dassing:
The EVO 4G was $450 from Sprint if you weren't eligible for an upgrade on launch day...Best Buy was trying to get people to pay $560 for that *****! I paid the $450 from Sprint online the morning of June 4th and had it in my hands by the 6th. I can only assume that the 3D will be along the same price range...maybe slightly higher...I am completely guessing though
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
Does anyone know how Sprint calculates the discounts? My contract isnt up until Oct so i was wondering how much i would pay for the Evo 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
Best Buy has made their official announcement as well...

We know what Radio Shack's 'E3D Goodie Bag' is going to consist of, I wonder what Best Buy and Sprint will offer as goodies to entice us? With the evo, Best Buy threw in a free bluetooth headset. I forget what Radio Shack did. Anyone have any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
So Rad shack is doing a trade in does anyone know if best buy is
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
So get this I tell Sprint guy on the phone that I want to trade my EVO for the 3d at radio shack he says I hate to tell u there's no firm date I'm like wait dude look at ur own website now tell me there's no date he says oh I had no clue lol
[HTC EVO 3D] StellarWiid:
What's the radio shack goodie bag?
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
I just got back from Sprint store. They are officially taking pre-orders now and I was their first one! Had to buy a 50 gift card but I expected that. The Sprint rep seemed really certain that Sprint would NOT be extending the instant rebate past the 23rd which would screw all the E3d people. He said and I quote " Sprint will NOT do it...won't do it." He said the staff had just had a meeting about it a few days prior and the MIR/IR rebate issue came up. He was not happy about it because, well, obviously that would chase all the people to Best Buy and Radio Shack both of whom at the moment seem to be offering better deals. Who knows, Sprint may cave at the last minute. I'm cool either way. I already have a preorder at Best Buy so whoever offers me the best deal gets to close the deal. Sprint would have to be total idiots to can the instant rebate the day before a flagship phone launches. Hopefully the rep just has outdated info that may not have been released to them yet....we all know how they are the last ones to find out anything which is actually pretty sad.
[HTC EVO 3D] splinter182:
from the fine print at the bottom of the email.

phone is going to be $199.99 from sprint
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Was a good mornings to see that in my inbox!
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
They have the stupid MP3 no one wants, the 75 dollar misc phone trade-in option and the instant rebate. The phone trade in option sounds nice but I get the feeling the devil is very much buried in the details on that.
[HTC EVO 3D] StellarWiid:
I can't stop laughing at all the morons who said radio shack wouldn't know the release date. Hahaha, idiots! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jessejames111981:
the catch on the trade in is qualifying phones. I traded in a Hauwei Ascend this past weekend to get a white Evo to hold me over until the release of the 3D. It is a smartphone but only gave me $25. I assume you'd only get the full $75 for trading in a phone with a clock speed of maybe 800mhz - 1Ghz. But if you are sitting on a phone you aren't going to use anymore $25-$75 credit is better than nothing
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
And if sprint released it a week after the 24th those same "morons" would be laughing at you...

Sprint Announces HTC EVO 3D, Available June 24

The online smartphone simulator showing up for the Sprint HTC EVO 3D was a clear indication of things to come and the carrier has just announced the availability for the highly anticipated 3D smartphone from HTC.

Referring to the smartphone as "America’s first ‘glasses-free’ 3D 4G device", the HTC EVO 3D will be available on Sprint starting June 24 (as rumored). It will cost $199.99 without tax and with a new two-year service agreement or eligible upgrade (and one of Sprint’s Everything Data plans plus a required $10 Premium Data add-on charge for smartphones). You can also pre-order the smartphone at any participating Sprint Store with the purchase of a $50 gift card.

Officially announced at the end of March, the HTC-made Sprint EVO 3D sports a dual core 1.2GHz Qualcomm CPU, 1GB of RAM, qHD resolution 4.3-inch glasses free 3D display, dual five-megapixel 3D cameras in the back, 1.3MP camera on the front for video chat and Android's latest, 2.3 Gingerbread.

This might just be me the untechno oriented person, but I guess what I'm failing to understand about this phone is, is there a way to turn the 3D screen on and off so that you can view things normally?

10x optical zoom? the SD4500 is the thinnest cam I know of with that kind of zoom and it's 0.88" thick. and add to that a 2000 mAh battery?

I have LTE turned on in my area and when I use my wireless tether for root users I get awesome speeds between 2-3MBps but after about 150-200MB downloaded those speeds immediately drop off to just 10-20k or so. Now I rarely go over the 5GB soft cap and even when I do it's only by a few hundred MBs. Is there some sort of throttling going on and any way to stop it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
It has been discussed actually (and with that application), but anyways, at least you tried :)

Assuming your speeds are bad due to one application isnt exactly a very good test (more so since you did not say what version of the application you are running since that could matter). If you want to be certain, try internet connection mode via usb and download a test file from a location around you, such as from one of these data centers http://www.linode.com/speedtest/ and watch the speed. Doing that, you can eliminate plenty of variables, like the wifi connection on either end acting up for whatever reason and the application.

If it stays constant, then it's the app. If it doesn't, well that's not a 100% indication either. LTE is unstable speeds will fluctuate. If you're only testing from one location, that's not a very good conclusion either.

Whenever you have a problem, try to go through the total process of elimination only focusing on one variable at a time and try to keep everything else the same. Most likely it's you or the current setup on your phone or the application, not verizon. How do I know this? Because many have downloaded way more than you have and haven't been throttled (just from people I know locally with an LTE enabled phone).

Exusting all possible outcomes is a much better conclusion than wildly guessing you are being throttled though.

Another way you can test directly on your phone:

1) open up the terminal

2) type the 3 lines below: (downloads a file, gets the time it took and then removes it after)

cd /mnt/sdcard

time wget http://207.192.68.6/100MB-newark.bin

rm 100MB-newark.bin

*if the above doesn't work, then you need busybox, but nearly every rom/kernel has it that's not stock, so you should by default, have it. If not, search in the market for busybox installer. The reason you see an ip there is wget doesnt play well with hostnames on the android due to the way it resolves domains and busybox generally being statically linked. If you want to try another url, you have to get the ip like above (you can do that by pinging the hostname on your phone).

3)Note "real" the time it took in seconds and divide 100 by that to get Megabytes per second (MBps not Mbps) or by 102400 to get Kilobytes per second (I suppose you could get Megabits, but that's a pretty pointless measurement other than making your connection look fast compared to saying bytes, since your files all appear in bytes and browser downloads show in bytes). If you really care about mbps, multiple what you did above already by 8.

4) when it finishes you have an answer totally on your phone alone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I believe there is a problem with the "Wireless Tether" app. I don't think it plays well with the 4G, this could be a reason for it. Have you tried used the "Mobile Hotspot" app, that comes with the phone? Do you get the same results?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ignitros:
I have also used the stock mobile hotspot app as well as tether via usb and get the same result. For clarification... I am downloading large files (500mb or larger) from a work server so I know that it's a problem on my phone end and not a problem on the server end. I can be on my home computer and download the files and never drop below 5MBps download the whole time... usually never drop below 10MBps to be honest.
