[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunsparc:
I work for a Sprint Preferred Retailer. Pay is a bit lower, but we also don't do as much as a corporate location.

I actually like being a tech more than a rep. Sure, I piss off more people, but I generally don't have to interact with as many, since I'm not constantly on the floor.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Do it man, if you're a natural salesman its promised you will have great potential in retail (wireless). Some people have it some don't; I've watched coworkers in the past simply fail because they couldn't leave their "fingerprint" with customers and build a loyal base. Networking goes a long way in wireless also. If you sold two android phones in the sprint store and you don't even work there then you might be the "chosen" one lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RileyGrant:
Hahaha gracias man. I tend to interact well with informing individuals well in those stores because nothing frustrates me more then seeing someone buy a POS based on an uninformed decision and then a month later be upset with their pick and be talking bad about a service/manufacturer or even Android as whole. Besides my love is Android and its devices and the good thing about sprint is I see it as being the carrier that will continue to stock itself with bleeding edge, top of the line devices. They really are Android pioneers and the fact that they have such good relations with both HTC and Google is a major plus when considering their future.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 17:
I've seriously considered working for Sprint or T-Mo as well, but wouldn't it be a fair assumption to think that if (or when) the AT&T acquisition happens, most of the T-Mo employees would be in for some negative changes?

Suffice it to say, AT&T runs their business in a seemingly very different...and not in a good way to neither its customers or employers.

I feel like T-Mo might already be gearing towards shady practices what with them releasing certain phones recently and then raising their prices, and also the new whole 2GB of 3G a month data plan is ludicrous in my opinion.

Would employees also be subject to the same sort of plan as customers, or do they make exceptions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddy_ballgame3:
i think i should chime in here since i worked for T-mobile for 5 years and i am currently working for a sprint certified dealer.

i LOVED T-Mobile when i started there. as someone poster previously it was ideal for a college student. i was clearing $38,000/yr with great benefits, flexible hours, a cheap phone bill for myself and both parents, plus i won tons of free phones. keep in mind that a lot of my pay was commission based and some reps who worked more than i did made a bit less. that sort of thing will always vary i guess. the revenue i brought in every year increased exponentially but my take home pay got less and less. i quit about 4 months ago after realizing that i made $23,00 in the previous 12 months. All while bringing in more and more money for the company! the commission structure seems to change every few months and access to commission information got more and more scarce.

Two days later AT&T announced their purchase of T-Mobile.

Im sure people at different stores and different areas could offer you a totally different story than what i just told you. pay scales range throughout the country based on average cost of living. I would always see a lot of newer employees who totally loved the job. So maybe you would too. I guess my point is T-Mobile was an amazing place to work. Now most of the longer tenured employees in my market have split or are trying to split.

The Sprint position is strictly business sales so its a much different position with a much broader pay scale. It's also a preferred dealer so my wages/responsibilities are dictated by the family that owns the dealership and not some corporate big wig sitting in an office that i will never meet.

just my two cents. youre on the right track though. see if you can talk to any sprint/tmobile employees in your area. im sure they would give you an honest response about their feelings on the job. good luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 17:
Thanks for the insight. The one thing I don't like is that whenever I've asked about a job for Sprint, for instance, they always just tell me to apply at the website, where you're subjected to a 30+ minute survey, and then you have to submit a resume and whatnot.

While I understand having to do that, it just seems so formal, you know, I wish I could get more personal experience talking to a supervisor/manager or whatnot, so I could be remembered, and then submit a resume, because otherwise, I feel like I'm a name in a big bucket with little chance of being picked.

I've had over 7 years of steady retail experience, I frequently browse and post on the xda and the androidforums.com, and read tech blogs like engadget, arstechnica and others. I know a lot about phones, though specially Android.

It's hard to get something like that across by simply taking a survey and submitting a resume.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dogboy53:
Did you set up google voice on your computer? It has the full instructions there. That's how I got it to work on my inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ravendeimos:
yeah, its all set up. i had it working on my hero when i was with sprint. Its being really annoying. it wont let me set it up with the regular att voicemail, nor will it let me change to GV. it says it has forwarding problems. ill see if i can get screen shots later after work.

am i the only one who has this problem?

[Samsung Mesmerize] 1fast72:
I have the Heinz 57 loaded that comes with the adw launcher, the app in the market is a newer version, will it hurt anything to dl and update the launcher?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Heinz uses mr home. Its adw on crack. Got a few more features then straight adw. But you could use any launcher I would think

Tap-a-Talked
[Samsung Mesmerize] 2fast4u88:
Actually Mr.home is adw launcher straight to the code. I noticed this while working on the apk for tfgas. I actually did not see on thing in it that was changed from adw launcher so in turn it is the the same.

All it has is from I remember in gas's vid is the screen animations for uot kitchen added. I could be work on that part but all mr. home is over regular adw is the animations.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
It doesn't play well with live wallpapers where ADW works just fine - but otherwise I think you're right just different animations.

As far as updates, it shouldn't hurt to update it...it's just an app that dfgas has preloaded in the rom.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 2fast4u88:
That is odd but it truely is adw launcher. Watch it when you install it or tfgas's rom you get a little pop up for the changelog :) As for messing with anything no matter of rom you can install a different launcher. Just install it and hit the home button then set which ever to default. If you want to switch back to the old launcher download home switcher from the market.

I believe that is the name any way ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
You can also just go to settings- apps- manage apps, and clear defaults for the launcher. Then when you hit the home key it'll ask you which one to use again.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sillumjai:
Does anyone else find that their stock photo gallery sometimes hangs? Sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to open, and other times it just hangs at the "loading" screen.

ps. I've only got about 50 photos in there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peacekeeper05:
Yes. Mine has delay and lag too. Just bought it yesterday.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
I've noticed this problem a few times here and there. I just kill the process using advanced task killer and then its near instant again. I think the gallery just gets stuck at times. You may see it running in the built in task manager then close it and try again. Usually works after the task is killed for me anyway
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoobzone:
I get some hangs in the Gallery app too, but not as long as 5 seconds.

What bothers me the most is that after uploading an image through Kies Air, I need to quit the Gallery app completely and reopen it for the new image to show up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FromToronto:
I've also had this problem intermittently. Twice I waited more than a minute and ended up rebooting to get the gallery loading again otherwise it just hangs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiebum:
I think you just need to force a manual "media scan" to get image changes to be picked up. The app ScanMedia is great for that purpose :)

The Gallery pauses are probably due to a background media scan running to pick up image changes on the "sdcard" partition. Google should fix this... esp since HTC Gallery can do the scan without pausing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK516:
yeh I get it to, little annoying but doesn't bother me to much atm
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sillumjai:
The problem does seem to be intermittent, but it does get annoying when I have to reboot the device to get it to open back up again. Hopefully there will be a patch in an upcoming update.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CandyAndy:
I have noticed that if I save picture from some wallpaper app or from internet browser, the picture doesn't show up in the gallery. I am not actually quite sure what to do to make it show up. My only solution has been restart or then using some other gallery, like just pictures. Also there I have to press refresh gallery to get the new pics showing. This is annoying as hell.

yes QP is great even on the lower spec phones, like my SF, but on the SGS2 doesn't QP break the ability that allows you to set a different wallpaper on the lockscreen ? or are you just running both side by side ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
sometimes gallery doesn't launch the pics at all so have to exit it and re open! only occasionally tho.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PurpleFries:
Just open quick pic and then long press the picture and select set as, then lockscreen and then poof, it is set
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
Agreed, quickpic is awesome.

The gallery app is laggy to open, and then far too fast once it's open, it's like the phone is too fast for it.

Installed quickpic and never looked back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzyk:
no, that doesn't work for me..

If I do what you state above all works up to 'set as', the only options i get under 'set as' in QP are to set as QP Wallpaper or contact icon...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euphoria47:
Perhaps it has to do with the speed of MircoSD. I have a crappy class II, so I expected as much. Anybody experiencing this with a class IV / VI / X ??

Not sure how "media scanner" works, if it creates a thumbnail archive for the gallery; but I assumed that this would be the case but obviously it isn't working properly if so. Still, once everything is loaded, I can't really complain. I do have a lot of photos in there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
I moved my pics to main memory think its helped,just gotta make sure I remember to move it all back if I flash phone!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLuvSomeone:

although QuickPic is awesome but still prefer to use back stock gallery if someone solved this

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CadillacDeville:
So I joined the whole "impatient and I can't wait" boat and decided to download the new 2.3 Gingerbread from the "HTC Software Update" option in the settings tab.

I just completed the download and clicked on "Install Later." Now the download is sitting in my notifications bar for whenever I decide to install it.

After browsing the forums and hearing raving reviews of those who have rooted their EVO 4G (and hearing that you cannot do it on an unrooted phone running 2.3), I want to stick with 2.2 froyo and root from there.

However, the question is, can I root it with the downloaded 2.3 sitting in my notifications bar? After I root it, will the 2.3 notification still be sitting in that bar just waiting for me to accidentally click it and screw up my phone's root? How can I get that notification out of the bar because I don't want to install it anymore and all I want to do is root my phone...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterbound:
All that means is that you have downloaded the update and its ready when you are. You can clear the notification and it will still be on your SD card ready to install if you ever choose to. The notification just tells you it has been downloaded and nothing more. Welcome to the XDA and enjoy rooting!

Goodluck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
And props for doing the research BEFORE you installed the Update!

+1
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I'd suggest rooting now. Use unrevoked, it only takes a few minutes. Even if you were to accidentally install the update, unrevoked forever should keep you s-off, so all you'd have to do is reflash recovery and you'll be set.

Although, if you do go ahead and root, you might as well go ahead and flash a custom rom. Find one you like and you'll never want to go back to stock again.

But if you decide rooting/flashing isn't for you, you can always unroot and go back to stock.

EDIT: And agreed, good job on actually reading first. You're officially smarter than at least half of the already rooted people on here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Truth is, if you really want the benefits of the GB update, Android 2.3.3 plus Sense 2.1 with 3.0 mods, just flash one of the Gingersense ROMS. I can endorse the one I'm using, Mik's 1.01

You'll be MUCH happier than a stock EVO with GB 2.3.3 and Sense 1.0

[Nook Color General] bhess:
I have a book style case and when I put it in my back pack sometime some pressure will turn it on (wake up) and when I open it it's already on. I'm sure that can kill the battery. I looked every where but couldn't find a way to turn that off.

Any ideas?

I'm running CM7 from the SD card.
[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
If you're running CM7 and they haven't fixed the 'battery sleep' issue (not sure if they have yet or not) then there's not much of a difference.

If you want to guarentee that the 'n' doesn't wake the machine up, the only real way to do that is via a full powerdown of the system.

Alternatively, set the sleep timer to something ridiculously short (like 15 seconds) before stowing it in your backpack (and remember to put it back to the 2-10 minute mark when you want to start using it again).
