[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraash:
i was thinking of getting an evo used and switching over.. but can i do it without sprint knowing? theres an extra 10 dolor fee now that i dont pay (grandfathered on old everything plan) i would like to avoid my bill going up but ready for a bigger screen.

any help would be great, thanks =)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
No........
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srkmagnus:
You need to go through Sprint in order to activate the phone, so that's a negative.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraash:
bummer bummer
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someonenewhere:
YOU ARE PAYING THE 10 DOLLAR FEE RIGHT NOW FOR JUST HAVING 3G.....

if you have the used Evo 4G go ahead and activate it with Sprint..your plan and monthly payment will remain the same.. $80 a month? ...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srkmagnus:
The $10 fee is not assessed until you upgrade the phone. It was a fee exclusive to 4G devices on Sprint for the 4G data until they made it a Smart Phone fee earlier this year.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OdinF1R3:
Would be awesome if that was possible, but sadly its not, I wanted to try that too when i first got my evo
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraash:
is the evo worth paying the extra? i have to do it for 2 lines =/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Might as well do it now, you will eventually upgrade, unless you plan on staying with what you got now forever.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Ginger-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraash:
was thinking about it just to stick it to the man...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srkmagnus:
lol Have fun on 3G while the man is using 5G+ in the future. jk.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
Speeds on 4G are much better. Depending on the area you are in you can see really fast download/upload. I'll probably end up tethering from my phone more often seeing as how the speed will be a lot faster than what I have at home. Eventually evreyone will be paying the $10 because one of these days your phone won't work any more and you will upgrade. I was a little hesitant to upgrade my Hero, but after looking at my bill it will only go up $5 a month because I was being charged $4.99/ month for a spending limit cap fee. And Sprint offers tons of discounts for school, employers, AAA members, credit union members, and on and on. So I'm going to get on my wifes credit union account and get a discount every month for that. So once that is done I'll be paying less than what I am now.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr33kb0i94:
No you cannot, sorry.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jamdev12:
I don't think this is fair. I can understand creating your own posts on those forums, but why prevent people who can add insight to problems or have a solution no be able to post a reply to any dev post? I'm sorry, I think is not fair.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ayman07:
so instead of writing 10 meaningful posts you decide to ***** instead? its fair! you know why its fair? because people come on this forum and dont know how to use the search button and then they post irrelevant stuff in places that it doesnt belong to--like the dev setion. say this person wants to root their device. a typical nooob will just scan the first page of the forum and if they dont see what they want there, guess what they'll do? they will post a question. if there were no limit then 90% of those posts would end up in the dev section. obviously 10 posts is not enough. i mean just look in the section for urself. Majority of the irrelevant posts have ben cleaned up but still! idk how many times i have seen "how do i root?" in that section. I am not saying every new poster is like this, but majority of them are. look how bad it is now with a minimum, imagine if there weren't a minimum! 10 posts is fair. it should be 20!

</rant>
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raypou:
For me its a Catch 22. I've had plenty of times where I might have something meaningful to say in a dev thread, but then I hit this and go try and find threads in the regular forum that I can add to. Usually I don't find any that I can actually add anything new and give up after 5 minutes, as I have real work to do.

Oh well...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] salacc:
so.... can we post 10x here instead? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Paradaz:
Good question :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
I think the limit should be 25 posts before they can make a thread in the Dev section. The limitation on requiring 10 posts to reply to the dev section threads don't make sense as they might have a question. But yeah, newbies to the forums should be limited in making new threads in the dev section so stuff like "How do I root" doesn't push all the useful threads into the second page.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
I agree with 25 to start a new thread in the DEV sections.

Also shouldn't be any limitation to reply as that's just silly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ayman07:
I like this idea too! Yes replying is ok but making a post is a different story.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Freelancerx:
lots of stuff in the dev posts require reading and comprehending, if you cant do a simple thing like that you probably shouldnt be trying to root your device or chilling in the dev section.....i mean jeez people post guides in the dev section for a reason....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BBXiong:
i kinda understand the 10 post thing, but to me too, it's rather troubling, as they might be something that i wanna ask on the dev forum too at times, but notice i cant cos of my post counts
[Eee Pad Transformer General] d0gan:
I don't like it either but it's the rules.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
As a N00b - I understand

I'm really new to XDA and I've run into this to...

On the up side the 10 post rule has saved me from getting flamed for saying something stupid.

As a noob I have been lurking and reading posts for months learning to root and flash my HD2 and transformer. It takes ages to get your head around all the terminology and start to have constructive things to add!

I will bide my time until i have the skills to contribute to the community in a meaningful way - til then the best i can do is click the donate button for the Devs.

Any suggestions on good threads to use to level up my droid skills always appreciated!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mikey:
FYI-the 10 post min was implemented for spammers.

Unfortunately, there are cases where it's a hassle for users with knowledge :)

FYI AGAIN- You do realize you posted in the wrong forum :p

This should be in XDA-General or pff-topic
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aryantes:
I totally understand and agree with the 10 post requirement.

Too many times I've seen replies like this...

"Sorry if this has been answered before but I haven't read all 50 pages" and then they ask something that of course has been answered a hundred times.

There are also a lot of times that I wanted to help someone in the dev forum but I didn't have 10 posts, but that's ok, because chances are someone else can help soon because threads are usually very active, which is why a noob doesn't want to read it in the first place.

Anyone who wants to help out on the forum can easily find a way to get 10 posts without spamming and actually join the community.

In my opinion, the 10 posts does a lot to help keep the boards clean, as least, cleaner than it would be without it.

People who aren't willing to read and find 10 threads to reply to, and attempt to be part of the community, may not even stick around past asking their question that has been answered before.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Billus:
Because the majority of the time the same question has been asked over and over again and new forum members are often too stupid to use the search function.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbusch:
Could you imagine the FLOOD of posts that would be added without the 10 post rule? It's hard enough to find anything *DEVELOPMENT* related in the development forums even with the 10 post rule. Already 85% is about HOWTO not about bugs, development, etc...

Not complaining, hey were all human (not quite androids yet), just saying that I wouldn't want to have to wade through an additional 40 posts a day from people who haven't bothered reading at all... :o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jamdev12:
I'm sorry ,but it seems many of you read the question that I wrote and assumed something completely different.

1) I asked why can't I reply to a post on the Dev forums. You did not hear me state why can't I create a post in the Dev forums. Those are completely different statements and they are not one and the same.

2) As to the fact that a lot of newbs ask the same question a zillion other newbs have asked in these forums. The fact is if you don't know how to read the rules in the first sticky post on any forum then yes you are stupid for not seen the search tools above the page. Furthermore is for this exact reason why I asked the question. Why do I want to spam these forums with useless posts about things I can get from other posts or just Google it? Like many Devs state while rooting your device, you need a couple of things, patience and a little gray matter. So sure I'll go ahead and be the stupid newb that creates idiotic posts just so that he can reach the 10 mark and then post or comment on something useful for a change.

3) Rules are rules and sometimes when people ask if they could be bent they can't and sometimes they can. That is the point of asking the question. If you consider me a troll, a newb, a dweeb or any other lame names then sure have your fun at my expense. I'm certainly more adult then you for asking the question instead of s this and f that. You didn't see that in my post.

4) mike1022, since you are a moderator and know more about what should be posted where I will next time try to post in the appropriate forum. I have a TF101 that I have rooted with the help of many great Devs in the Devs forum and since this was the general posting forum for TF owners I thought it was the appropriate place. My apologies if I made a mistake.

To the few of you who provided constructive criticism, I thank you for for taking the time and effort.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] megatron-g1:
I understand

I understand the need to post 10 times before being to reply in some forums, I'm sure this cuts down on a lot of unnecessary posts. I would really like to help out, but I will attempt to follow the rules and post 10 times so i can post in there :)

For example, I saw someone post a unix script in the fre3vo thread for Sensation. Then someone asked what about windows. I had already copied his script and converted it to a .bat and tested it on my phone. I would love to post there for them to use, however, I need to get my 10 posts out of the way first.

Here's the zip I would like to post in that thread (contains both unix and windows script). I can script the fre3vo temp root steps in front of it too.

For windows, set up the temp root using the fre3vo steps then run script.bat

EDIT1: grrr, apparently it only works for a few minutes, and simply rerunning it doesn't fix it again. Also, the .bat file i put in there could use some cleaning up...

EDIT2: And before anyone says anything, yes, I am a newb to android, last Saturday was the first time I even touched an android device. Feel free to flame me.

EDIT3: I just noticed this is in the Eee Pad forum, I just did a search for "10 posts before reply." Sorry for posting in the wrong area.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
Welcome but remember google & the search function are your friends.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asummerf:
I have found that you can always send a personal message instead, does not help the group but at least you get a reply
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I am all for increasing the number beyond 10 to say 25 before you can reply. Also require that the person understand how to root, ADB, etc before they can post. That would prevent the threads for ROM xxxx from getting filled with all sorts of "Help, I bricked my device", "Why do I need a PC?", "Why am I not getting the OTA update", "my PC will not recognize my device" posts.

All the information is out there and people just need to slow down and not be in such a hurry to root. You need to understand what is being down and why it is being done. This might take a few days of reading, searching, and understanding, but is well worth the effort. Most Devs rightly assume that people have the background to understand the technical issue presented and read between the lines.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
I think there should be a 500 post limit for making threads in the dev section, and a 10 post limit for simply posting in the dev section.

There would be no need for operation iron fist if we didn't let noobs post new threads.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mskip:
Ok I think this thread is becoming a place for newbs to build up there posts lol.

The reason for a post limit in the Dev Forums is to cut down on the thousands of 'How do I do this' posts that we get when a simple search or just reading through the thread can find the information. Unfortunately it does affect those 'few' Newbs who have something meaningful to contribute but I think the benefits from this rule vastly outweigh the drawbacks and I hope people can understand this.

As Mods we are here to help and keep everthing running as smoothly as we can and we probably spend 50% of our times on here cleaning up threads when it could be spent doing much more productive things.

p.s. Unless you have something meaningful to add to this conversation then please do not post as I will be going through and deleting pointless posts :)

Mark.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sage55:
It's to do exactly what the message tells you... to keep spammers at bay. Duh!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I didn't even know you needed 10 posts to post in the dev section. When I first came here, I was newbie as hell. I stayed the hell away from the dev section best I could. Check out my signature. All that info was gleaned from reading around and using the search function. The website that I created (gtab for dummies) crashed several times because of too many users, way more than I anticipated.

The search function really is great.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
It's rather ironic a measure meant to prevent innocous posts that can be easily ignored actually creates posts and threads that are worse.

Good Job Mods!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
There are very few rules here and most of them for the good of the majority of the users. This is a developers site and they have been nice enough to allow the rest of us to read and post. If you have something earth shaking to add to the dev section and don`t have 10 posts, put in the general section and I am sure it will be moved. The forum is clogged with useless posts that ask the same stupid question as the two threads before it or stating that they hope the next version of the OS will come out in a hurry.

I just got my transfomer last week, and so far have been very happy with it, but I'm having a lot of problems with n64oid. I rooted the tablet to 3.1, put all of my roms on a storage card, have tried versions 1.1.4 and 1.1.3, tried different max frame skip levels, tried playing without sound, but every time I play super smash or zelda mm the program closes within a few minutes. I'm using a wiimote as a controller, so I'm not sure if that could be causing this, but it's very frustrating and I would appreciate any help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] renegadeian123:
Have to say I haven't had such problems with n64oid so far. I doubt it's the wiimote. I'm using a PS3 controller and it works well, if a little bit too sensitive.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jwhisl:
All the N64 Zelda games seem to force close on me, no matter what device I'm using. I have tried my Transformer, Elocity A7 (tegra II running 2.2), and my Epic. From what I've read around the Zelda games are a bit more demanding due to their partical/sprite count
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nbarlam:
I could see that being the case, but I'm also having force closes on super smash bros, so i don't know if there's another factor involved.:confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] DevCake:
I've got a Emu thread going with plenty of members testing N64oid games, check the link in my signature, you should get plenty of help there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nbarlam:
I had looked at the thread (my comment is currently on the last page) but it didn't help too much. It lists super smash and zelda mm as working, when for me (on my rooted transformer) they don't work, so thats why I created this thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] leonpr:
Was playing a bit of Zelda: Ocarina of Time without issues yesteday (apart from the awful controls when using the touch screen). I'm afraid I don't have anything to help you with your problem as I didn't change any settings, just installed the latest version thats on SlideME and using a Zelda OCT European rom.

The issues you are having on all devices are you using the same rom? Maybe there is a fault with that file?

How do I flash boot animation zip I go to recovery and flash but then says install aborted I'm using clockwork on evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
99% of the bootanimations are not flashable. You will need to move it in a certain folder depending in what base rom you are on. Which rom are you currently running.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
You will need to use adb for using your computer, or a root file explorer using your phone. You will need to put the zip file in your /system/media folder and make sure it is named exactly "bootanimation.zip" for it to work. If you can't get it let me know and I will try and walk you thru it.

Yesterday, I kept getting a pop up messaging saying my T959 battery is draining quicker than normal and I should contact Samsung for a replacement.

I've never seen this message before on my phone, have you guys seen it?

I'm not getting the message again today, so thought that was strange.

By the way the warranty on the battery is only 3 months, so thanks for the useless message Samsung asking me to contact you, you wouldn't replace it anyway.

in eclair call drops in vodafone(when using vodafone mobile connect) was very consistent.somewhere i found out that this call drop issue will be solved in froyo version.but still i face occassional call drops in vodafone when my internet is ON.

when i get an incoming call,i slide the answer button but nothing happens the answer/reject button again appears and eventually the call gets dropped.

i am thinking of switching to other n/w through portability.....

is there any1 with same kinda issues???
[Galaxy 3 General] brajesh.sharma87:
yeah, i m on reliance gsm, it happened to me also when i was on stock JPM. But surprisingly it hasn't happened to me after i flashed Indroid custom ROM. you can try that.
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
The SAME thing happened to me.

I'm a vodafone customer and i was using eclair and my calls dropped every 5 minutes or so.

when people tried to call me my phone would come as unavailable.

so i went to the samsung gallery and i told them the issue and they said it was a software thing. so i told him that since 2.2 was out, upgrade it to that. which he did.

and after updating to 2.2 my phone worked perfectly. no call drops. and i still am a vodafone customer.. so i don't think it's a vodafone problem.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to make this work. I plug it in and all I get is all 4 red light blinking. CORDY, emulators keymapping all get nothing. I'm on 3.1 of course and the controller works on the ps3
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pacifik:
Tap the PS button after you plug it in
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
is that an official ps3 controller? Mine works very well in most emulators..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
Yes its official. And tapping the ps3 button didn't help atall. I tried 2 controllers and still no go. Seams like im the only one with this issue
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PhonicUK:
If you're using it with an emulator, it seems sometimes that the controller has to be plugged in and responding before you start the app. (I may be wrong, hard to confirm) My basic usage goes like this:

- Plug in PS3 controller, check for blinking lights

- Wait 5 seconds

- Firmly press the center PS button

- Wait a moment

- Start FPSe/your-app-here and start keymapping.

I'm sure parts of this are excessive, but it seems to be reliable for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
still no go here, are u using stock kernel or the modded 3.1 kernel? im using modded and im starting to think thats why

edit downgraded to stock kernel instead ov the overclock, and the controller is now working!!!! suck i have to lose the overclock but im sure it will be fixed in a future update
