Does anyone know how the release at the Sprint stores works? I went in yesterday to see where I am on the list and they said they could see my preorder, but they had no way of checking priority. This seems strange to me. They said they had about 90 people on the list, which also blew me away. Apparently I am supposed to show up as early as possible on the 24th (they are opening at 8am that day). This would mean that it's first come first serve on release day (as long as your name is on the list)??

Apparently they got about 45 Epics last year and had 140 preorders. Let's hope the E3D is more plentiful.

Maybe I should try to find a less popular store :-)????
[HTC EVO 3D] Greenkknight101:
Hmm i wasn't aware of that issue. I was under the understanding that if you pre-ordered, they would have one waiting for you on release date, although it makes sense if they can't adequately stock the store.

Hmmm... guess i'm going early!
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
I was first in line when the Evo came out and I plan to be first in line for the 3d. Can't wait!
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
my sprint store told me i was #3 on the 3d and #1 on the view lol. told me about a week before the release they would call me to set up an appointment on release day to pick it up.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I would like the answer to this as well since this is my first pre order...I was under the assumption i would get it on launch day..anyone who works at a retailer please chime in
[HTC EVO 3D] carnivalrejectq:
Damn they should take regular peoples lifes into consideration , lol , i preordered may 20 something and i think im like # 5 on the list but if they skip me just because im no waiting outside , im probably not gonna get the phone. I dont even get out of work till 3:30 pm. Who really has it like that that they can just take off of work for a phone? lol come on
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Lol I do...but that's a perk working in state government..but I wonder if it matters what place u are in the pre orders or if its first come.first serve..I mean what's the point if preorder if someone who didn't can walk in the store and buy one all tje same?
[HTC EVO 3D] carnivalrejectq:
I dont think they can do that but what i got out of what the guy told me is that someone who preordered can do what you are saying.....so if they have 150 phones and 200 people preordered and you dont show up till the next day.......good luck basically lol
[HTC EVO 3D] coolchris305:
Basically the pre order works like this....once the pre order period ends...they get exactly the amount of evo3Ds to fill their order plus some extras for the slow ones who think they could juss walk up and get one...soo u dont have to wait in line...as long as ur name is on the list...but they will hold one for u untill 48 hrs...
[HTC EVO 3D] carnivalrejectq:
O well thats pretty nice then........idk why the sprint employee tried to make it seem like i may be losing out if i dont come at 6 am ......lol....... and im pretty sure this guy was the head of the store.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
You have to remember Sprint has already said there will be NO SHORTAGE of EVO 3D'S so everyone is thinking like when the evo came out and it is just not going to be that way.

Sprint already said they have been told there will be no shortage from HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] wjason:
I hope that's true. I still find it hard to believe that they have 90 preorders for a phone that was kept secret for so long. I am not sleeping on the sidewalk or anything but I will stop in on my way to work. We'll find out in 2 weeks.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Best Buy will call you 2 days prior to make an appt to come in so no line waiting. The pre-order is good until Monday morning. Since Friday 24th is my anniversary, I'm getting it first thing Saturday.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
If you are a current customer and made a preorder you will lose your EVO TO a new customer.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
J

I left the sprint store with the same impression..I asked him if I pre ordered there that i would def get my phone on launch day and he was Luke "if your here before we run out' so I was thinking what's the point of the pre order if that's the case..I never have pre ordered b4 so I'm not sure how it works..but I had a hard time getting my 4g even months after itaunched..it seemed like stores would get like 5 at a time and unless u walked in at the right time you were sol.
[HTC EVO 3D] minieod:
apparently the girl at the sprint store in NJ where i go said i was the 2nd person there

what is weird, is that they did not require me to put any money down as a preorder, she just put me on their list

she also told me that i was guaranteed that phone if i come to pick it up that day (which i will)

i am going to call them tomorrow again to verify with another employee....
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
I got my evo on the first day of launch without a pre order.. literally just walked up and got it. no line... then the evo just exploded like 2 days after., once people saw it and their geeky friends were showing it off.

this time from what i keep reading, sprint wont have a shortage. just walk up and buy it. i plan on doing the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
salaried, exempt, employees can :) hehe
[HTC EVO 3D] Seanc13:
I was told that they call the number of people based on the phones they have. 50 phones, 50 calls to the first on the list. They said that once you receive the call you get 24 hours to come pick it up.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomh1979:
That would be a nice procedure, if things follow along those lines, but I might take a extremely early lunch to get mine when they open the Store, though I'm number one on there list.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
The thing is there will be no shortage.I was told and i posted it from a sprint rep there will no short supply of them.

In fact the local store said today if they sell out of the ones they get in they will have more in stock the next day.

htc has already told sprint no shortage.The only hype on it is from sprint employees.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
I was told at the retail store today that when the deposit is made, and they give you a giftcard, that you are promised a phone on launch day. If you don't show up on launch day, you could loose your phone and may have to wait if they sell out, but as long as you show up some time before closing on launch day, your phone will be there.

I was told this today, by the manager cause I told them, I want to preorder but if there is a chance I will loose my phone to a yahoo that strolls in randomly I will go to best buy for the preorder cause they guarantee that a phone will be there for you. She said, we do too....so I preordered there, having done business with that store for years and always been treated well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Solipcyst:
So, I pre-ordered only a few days ago at a Sprint Store. Got the gift card and before I left they told me to use the "make an appointment" link from the store finder tool at sprint.com as early as the 14th. Now, I'm starting to wish I asked for a little more clarification. I mean, make an appointment with their store on the 14th FOR the 14th? For the 24th? And in this thread I'm seeing people saying their store will be calling them to make an appointment?
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
Lol you need to stop repeating yourself there are easily almost 90 pre orders at one best buy mobile store where I ordered and 120 plus at the corporate store down the street. Lots of people want the EVO 3D there won't be "shortages" but there will be "waiting list" for the next shipment if that sounds better to you. Hate to break it to you HTC wont be sending 100 air craft carriers full of 3D's for launch day
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
What about a battleship and they shoot them out the cannons when they run out LOL..*****es better have my evo on launch day ..all joking aside
[HTC EVO 3D] wjason:
My local Sprint store just called me to set up an appointment to pick my E3D. I told her I would be there as early on the 24th as they would let me. Asked about 6/21 for prrmier gold and as suspected 6/24 is the earliest.

It's getting closer!
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
I preordered in Jacksonville and the Sprint store rep told me I cant make an appointment because they can't guarantee the exact time. They promised I would get a phone but they said I cant guarantee a time.
[HTC EVO 3D] Solipcyst:
Yeah, the launch details don't seem to be very consistent from store to store or region to region, I guess. In my area, the two closest stores to me both said I should use the online tool to schedule an appointment myself and that they wouldn't be calling me to set one up at all.

Both stores didn't have the 24th-26th as an option for an appointment in the online calendar, so I'm assuming they were booked solid. Had to go with Monday. :( I'm going to try and do a walk-in at the store I actually pre-ordered from on Friday anyway and see if I can swing one then.
[Nexus S General] Arcadia310:
I've been a Nexus S owner for about a month now and it's the best Android phone I've owned so far. If it had an LED notification light and better build quality it would probably be perfect in my book. Anyways, the phone has been extremely fast for me. This is also the first Android phone I've had no interest in rooting because everything works as I want it to stock.

I'm just wondering, is it worth it to root and overclock this phone? Does overclocking really improve the speed that much? Also does Voodoo really give noticeable improvements to the sound and screen?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
yes, yes, and a huge yes to voodoo sound :)
[Nexus S General] frutelaken:
For me personally, my NS goes up to 1,4Ghz flawlessly and stable and in my (probably subjective) opinion, it did speed up the flicking through my large app drawer list, for example.

Basic things like browsing, texting, opening e-mails etc are pretty much the same, it's barely noticable. Probably because the stock NS is so fast and smooth, the few percents of added speed you gain by overclocking aren't really noticable.

The main thing is the battery life though, it'll drain the battery significantly and so it's up to you whether or not you want to have your phone running a tad faster but not make it through the day, or have it go normal and last the day.

I would always root your phone.

Since you mention the missing backlight notification, if you flash your kernel to say, for example, Netarchy 1.3.12, you can install a small app that's called "BLN". It turns the 4 buttons into a notification light by blinking them on notifications, works perfect.

Also, many people prefer CM7 over the stock Android because of the added functionalities; one more reason to root your phone :)

I haven't noticed anything about the voodoo sound/display, maybe someone else can pick in here.

Greetz
[Nexus S General] KidCold:
Trust me in that you will love your phone more if you do. I don't notice the change in speed but voodoo control is a must. You'll be able to adjust the colours on your screen to make your phone POP!
[Nexus S General] Vandam500:
The badass thing about rooting it is that it fixes the notification light problem. All you have to do is flash a kernel with BLN compatibility (Nearly all of them have it) and download the BLN app from the market.

Every time you get a new notification the bottom four buttons flash on and off :)

Also like Simms said, you also get Voodoo colors which make the screen colors much much better then stock.

I personally don't overclock because like you said the phone is already so damn fast =)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I do not overclock my CPU. I don't get any noticeable benefit from it (other than increased Quadrant scores). I tend the opposite way.... I'd rather reduce power for longer battery life, so I undervolt.

Voodoo is worth flashing a custom kernel for, in my opinion. Keep in mind you do not have to root to flash a custom kernel. You only have to unlock the bootloader with one simple command.

I know what you mean about not wanting to even root. I only rooted so I could take screenshots with Shoot Me app. But I use the stock Rom and probably always will :)
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
well, since the bootloader is unlocked, why doesn't root?! =oP

in my opinion, the bad thing in flashing things is because it is addictive, you can't stop anymore. I lived fine with stock for two months, and now i can't stay a week without flash something.

as a matter of fact, you can have voodoo sound in stock kernel, just use the pay app, and if you own a slcd version (like me), you won't need voodoo colors. So the missing and must have is BLN and that was the first reason i root this thing! =o)

and btw, for me, the device is fast enought and i really like to finish the day with my phone still alive, so i don't oc it! =o)
[Nexus S General] alnova1:
I have noticed that everyone seems to talk about bln but does no one like the no led app? It does well for me...just wondering because I'm new to the S but not android :D
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
bln is universal (works in scld and samoled screens) and uses A LOT less battery than no led...
[Nexus S General] Mudblood69:
what is your setup to OC to 1.4? Currently I am running the I9020A at 1200 mhz on stock 2.3.4 with netarchy kernel, latest stable version. slightly over volted. however, it still freezes when i play videos with moboplayer. I havent been able to find a stable OC @ 1.4. It will reset and freeze overnight when idle :(

anyone else's input is welcome :P
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
This is truth. No LED does drain the battery quite a bit if you aren't able to dismiss a notification right away. That really hurt me a few times which is why after a few weeks I switched to BLN and haven't looked back.
[Nexus S General] Zardos66:
For my Phone i've never been able to handle 1.4 ever. I run mine at 1.3 and have no issues. Going to 1.4 makes my phone lock up. Every phone is different it seems.

For the record I'm running CM7 7.0.3 and Netarchy BFS 1.3.4.
[Nexus S General] frutelaken:
I was running Netarchy 1.3.0.2 BFS a few weeks ago. Without doing anything fancy, I could overclock to 1,4 using setCPU and it ran smoothly. I9023, GRI40 and CM7.

But, that kernel version doesn't support BLN so I had to upgrade and I chose the Netarchy 1.3.0.12 CFS and I have to admit (I just tested), I get lock-ups and reboots using 1,4 now.

Many people say it's device related, but I'm convinced the kernel has a lot to do with it as well. I don't know if BFS is the reason or not, it never ran stable on my device (even on stock speeds) and I'm much more satisfied with CFS's stability, but I think that's personal as well :)

Greetz
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
1.4 my phone just locks up.

1.2 and 1.3 are about the same for me: random reboots several times a day, with minimal if any noticeable improvement in performance in day to day activities.
[Nexus S General] csmall:
I recently tried overclocking. I found that my phone can barely handle 1.2Ghz. Forget 1.4Ghz. I tried 1.1Ghz and it seemed stable enough but I didn't see any real world benefit from it. Right now I've settled on netarchy 1.3.4 bfs and cyanogen nightlies running at stock clock 1Ghz. Phone is stable, responsive, battery life seems good and voodoo sound is great.
[Nexus S General] nowens0520:
Trying overclocking now. Phone seems to handle even 1.4 pretty decently. Not noticing any problems. 3393 on Quadrant, nice and peppy. I don't know if the draw on batter life is really worth it. I'll probably drop back down to 1.2 max 400 min. That seems to be a sweet spot.

Running OpenSoju 0.2.6 with the included netarchy kernel.

On iOS, I was a huge fan and user of CinemaFX Pro and ReelDirector.

Does anyone know of an app for android that lets me compile video and audio, maybe add adjustments and effects?

From searching, I'm pretty sure that no such app exists.

Does anyone know of one currently in development?
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Since there are individual threads going on regarding diff. issues that some Sensations suffer from, i thought i would start this thread to have all these issues in one place:). And more importantly, we can suggest some tests that could be performed right out of the box to figure out whether or not the device should be sent for replacement.

I'll keep the first post updated based on your recommendations in this thread.

-The first thing i can think of is the issue with the device being loose in its back cover, which is something that should be kept in mind and also can be easily tested:cool:

-Then comes the problem of "separate" layers under the screen which is accompanied by a sound resembling "a sticker being peeled of a surface".

Except you can't test for that when you first get it because it takes a few days to appear.

If you want Root on GB

Linux CD method

For those of you that are not very up on linux, the link below guides you into making a linux CD that you can insert into your windows laptop and contains all the programs you need to sbf your droid x back to froyo. You can then root it and upgrade to GB rooted using the 2 file method. It's almost idiot proof and the instructions are pretty good. If you can burn an ISO file onto a cd or usb drive and get your computer to boot from it then you should be able to sbf in about 10 minutes.

You will lose your data but you can get root back in GB. Once you SBF, you can use the 2 file method to get rooted GB installed

I've been searching for the lock screen for two days but can't find it, I found two threads that had a link but the links are down. I want my phone to feel stock because I do not like themes. I flashed the EC05 stock theme template thinking that it would have the lock screen but it didn't. I've also flashed the stock touchwiz that was on our phones.

Hi,

I have tried to make a custom boot animation with sound. The animation works, the sound does not -.-

I tried everything:

- name ist boot.mp3/android_audio.mp3 and put it in data/local.

- Named one of the folders "android", and listed it in the "desc.txt" file.

refer to a tutorial by DevHead at androidforums.com

What should I do so that my Nexus One plays a sound at startup ?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolPal:
Got sound working!!!

Found a solution to my own question. Its still not 'completely' working though! The sound works for exactly half the length of the .mp3 file :(

Got the steps from here:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-mytouch-4g/69792-mod-how-unlock-your-boot-animation-audio.html

My current setup is as follows:

Google Nexus One

OS: CM7 Nightly - cm_passion_full-252.zip

Kernel: 2.6.38.8_AVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1152MHz_091711_CM7.zip

Steps that worked for me:

1. Download bootsnd.sh.txt and remove the".txt" then copy to the root of your sdcard.

2. Use root explorer or equivalent to set /system to r/w.

3. Start terminal emulator up on your device.

4. type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.

5. Type "cd /sdcard" + enter.

6. Type "sh bootsnd.sh" + enter(You will NOT see any output DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT MORE THAN ONCE OR YOU WILL HAVE TO REFLASH YOUR ROM.)

7. Place your "android_audio.mp3" of choice in system/media/

8. Reboot to hear your boot audio!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
This is exactly the same file as the one I've attached 1/2 year ago.

It modifies the init.rc to play boot sound.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolPal:
Thanks, but in your reply there were no steps explained.

Can you help in fixing audio playing partially?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Most probably not. When does the audio cut off? What event causes it? Bootanimation stops when it happens (showing screen)?
