So far no dice with plan b. I changed my password after the break-in so I might change it back so the tablet can properly log in to market. Just got a new steel door installed on the house today. Tomorrow will a security gate installed.... me and the wife are debating on a camera system too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
I had the same thing happen to a friend. He got robbed while on vacation and it turned out to be a bunch of his friends that went over and stole everything. He got most of his stuff back after they found out who it was but it still bothers me that a "friend" would steal everything from another person they know(or anyone else for that matter)

Battery most likely died. That's the plus/down side of a proprietary port. Plus they can't use it. Down you can't track them.

Hope your insurance comes through with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trancemode:
that freakin sucks! I wish you and your wife the best of luck on recovering your losts.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] orcrist86:
I'm sure its not the battery because they snatched the power cord and charger since they were all connected at the time. I think the likely cause is that they can't figure out how to connect to wifi.

1saleday.com, midnightbox.com and woot.com have camera security systems sometimes, hugely discounted, for cheap. Might be worthwhile to check those sights everyday.

So I don't really have a need for it but I like everything to work. Asus sync won't work I hook up my transformer to my computer and the asus sync says searching and it is open on my computer then it says cannot find Asus sync. Anybody else have a problem with this I downloaded the drivers but there was no install package just all the files

Seems the inly one that backs up data also.
[HTC EVO 3D] cmdauria:
MyBackup has a non root version now! It is in the market.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I love My Backup Root...intending on buying pro soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I don't get the purpose of these backup applications unless you have like 80 apps. I can remember all of the apps I normally use. Google backs everything else up don't they?
[HTC EVO 3D] cmdauria:
I use it mainly for backing up the data from within a program. Things like high scores on games.
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
I have like 80 apps, plus I need all my data.
[HTC EVO 3D] crucial929:
So with mybackup I could back up my game save data and transfer it to the 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] cmdauria:
Absolutely!
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
u sure mybackup will restore an app's data on a non-root phone? not just the app apk? i have seen several places that restore the app's data wont work.

i actually only have the paradise island saved game that i am really interested in....
[HTC EVO 3D] Zabalba:
As far as I know, in order for an app to restore your apk data, it needs root access to write to the system.
[HTC EVO 3D] minieod:

bye bye Paradise Island..... i will miss my vacation get-away
[HTC EVO 3D] rogcontact:
That is right, a phone has to have Root access and then MyBackup can support the Data of the applications. But, it will also work on non-root phones.

Also, it can backup and restore system data like SMS, MMS, bookmarks, music playlists, etc. for NON-ROOT phone and BETWEEN ALL ROMS, which is something no other application on the market can do.

MyBackup Root is a free application for root users that will give you the ability to restore ALL your apps at once, without having to click through each one by one, like titianium free makes you do.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomyboombotz:
U can always unzip the apk in the titanium folder and install the app
[HTC EVO 3D] rogcontact:
But that is a pain, using MyBackup it will do everything for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
mybackup root only lets you back up and restore to the same model phone

I have tried to restore app n data to my 3d from my 4g. Only app gets installed; data does not. SMS and contacts restore fine.

As some of you might have read, the EVO 3D seems to have fallen short in two areas that I consider to be the most important: display quality, and battery life. The display, albeit having great resolution, have been critiqued by many reviewers for having horrible viewing angles. Even the Optimus 3D which sports a 3D display doesn't suffer the same fate. What a shame!

If that's not enough, the battery life seems to be pretty bad as well. Maybe not too bad, but definitely not anywhere that some of us were hoping.

Contrastingly, the Samsung SG2 has the best display bar-none. Battery life has been praised left and right. And the camera is the best one out there. If that's not enough, check out the form factor.

That being said, who has changed their minds in respect to replacement for their EVO? I know I have. I just hope that the SG2 arrives at Sprint sooner than later.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Where are you hearing battery life is bad. From the reviews I have read, I feel the battery life is pretty decent.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah hadn't read battery life was bad. Heck one of the reviews said they lasted over 9hrs about with WiMax on all day and shooting 3d videos and photos all day long. Thats pretty dang solid if you ask me.

As far as the display? GTFO

This isnt your LCD/LED/Plasma TV in your home. this is your freaking phone! viewing angles should matter 0 on phones. your not having your phone set up with a dang viewing party around it sitting in chairs watching movies. If you are then you got issues. Only viewing angle that matters is straight on!
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
I'm definitely holding out on the SGII at this point. I even saw that the retail units of the 3D have locked bootloaders. Lame.
[EVO 4G General] spencer88:
My EVO is serving me well, I'm using my upgrade on something else. I want to see what phones are out by the holiday season.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
"In general, the 1730 mAh battery seems to less less than six hours sticking to 4G and less than a full day over (10 hours or so in regular use) without. Call quality was okay — not great, but okay."

http://thisismynext.com/2011/06/15/htc-evo-3d-review/

"This prototype was buggy and had abysmal battery life, but it was real."

"Which brings us to battery life, or the lack thereof. After topping off the EVO 3D, it only took 14 hours and 44 minutes to drain the beefy 1730mAh battery down to 7%. We barely used the handset during that time -- we made a 15-minute call and slept 6 hours. The rest of it was spent taking a half-dozen pictures, and occasionally checking three email accounts plus one Twitter account with all the radios enabled (save for Bluetooth). This is particularly surprising when you consider the Sensation's stellar battery life. 3D photography is particularly taxing on the battery. We saw the charge level drop from full to 60% in about an hour and a half during which we snapped about 80 photos and captured four short videos (about half of this content was in 3D). So, whatever you do, be prepared to bring a charger along with that EVO 3D."

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/htc-evo-3d-review/

Doesn't sound too encouraging to me... I refuse getting anything that doesn't comfortably get me a full day with heavy use. The SG2 does it, the iPhone easily does it... C'mon, it's 2011! No excuses!

How was the Evo when you first got it??? oh right, barely lasting a day too.

[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Not sure what a mute point is but until it's unlocked it's an issue. Who knows if it'll be unlocked on launch day. It may be weeks for an OTA to address it.
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA engadget.

Read the comments on their review.

God thank you for the guy who mentioned viewing angles. What kinda person turns their SMARTPHONE at 70 degrees to use it? That's like eating a bowl of cereal with the bowl turned 70 degrees. It doesn't work because that's retarded.

The bootloaders are unlocked, I have seen several actual phones with unlocked bootloaders.

Even the garbage engadet review said with ALL radios on the phone lasted 14 hours, after taking 80?! 3D pics. Woah, that's awesome battery life. If a smart human being was in control and knew what battery conservation/radio control were, the phone would last an extremely long time.
[EVO 4G General] djnarcotics:
colors get washed out in the sun
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
That guy be me :)

can't agree more. Viewing angles only matter with your home TV's.

Ppl have issues if they are setting the phone up on a table and then playing a movie while their friends all sit in chairs around it watching. Thats the only reason to complain about viewing angles.
[EVO 4G General] fernando sor:
As was said it's a mute point. It depends on if the bootloader Is signed/encrypted which htc has said they will not do. The phone will still need to be rooted.

As far as battery life my incredible with a 1750 mah extended battery doesn't go more then six hours with heavy use. This isn't a calculator. This is a computer with a processor as strong as my old laptop. Learn to think for yourself. Nor every review will be perfect in all areas
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
with the 720 camera downgrade and various reviews i have read im thinking i may hold off on the e3D .. least for a while my evo is still working just fine . and money is kinda tight here atm
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
BTW, it's moot point. Not mute.

:P
[EVO 4G General] fernando sor:
Right thank you professor. I'm typing from my phone.;)
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
LOL, so you determined all of this by reading a review. Well I can post you 6 other reviews who are total opposite of everything you just typed. So at the end of the day that means what????

Either someone has no idea what they are talking about, or someone is just a bit biased or a combination of the two. Bottom line is proof is seeing for yourself before you start talking about 2 areas falling short when you have no idea.

If you want the SGS2 go ahead and get it when/if it shows up in a store. But nothing you wrote would persuade me from getting what it is that I want.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
And who knows if it won't. It goes both ways. Half empty/half full.....matter of opinion.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
I don't understand why so many of you are getting so angry about a phone that none of you own right now.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Sure. But enough negative attention surrounds them to be compelled to change their drive. Sure, sales. And maybe the number of people returning phones / leaving doesn't necessarily hit the bottom line as hard as some more 'serious' issues can and will do, but the Samsung 'stigmata' is great enough to force a more appropriate and legitimate push at, uhh, legitimacy? I don't doubt that they are heavy hitters, much like Motorola ... but we see how that is changing as well. The people speak, and the wise listen.
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
A buddy of mine swears by that phone, and he moved off of an HD2 (basically an Evo).

What do you do for a living? I wanna be like you when I grow up :P I think it's the most blatant publicity stunt ever, but even Samsung's facade of change represented by it's gift of a GSII to the CM team makes me smile for a brighter future in manufacturer-dev cooperation.

Maybe I'm not understanding because I'm drunk and the Cubs just gave up the game ... :D But was that a jab? *gloves*

Sure, a pub stunt at its fullest, but I would like to think it's a push in the right direction. Yeah, we all said it last year too; they're changing. Not enough from then until now, true. I would like to think the people coud lead to a change but we won't know tomorrow. Or the day after.

I'm not ready to jump in the Samsung pool, but I wouldn't mind so long as the water is cool. It's all for the better of Android and that is a major market for Sammy. I would like to think they could get more serious.

I'm tempted by the 3D, but just like I have felt on a few other occasions; I am in no rush to jump. :)

Can you imagine how long a recent phone would last with a batter that huge? LOL!
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i already knew the 3d would have bad battery life, the evo did at launch and still has semi bad battery life. what amazes me is i switched to the thunderbolt "an updated evo for verizon" and the battery life is 5x that of what i got on my evo. even running 4g lte i get better battery. i think alot of it is the difference with the network you run it on.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
yes, yes they do. between the radio issues that plague the ns4g to the gps issues on almost all galaxy s devices id say they have a semi bad rep.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
The core in the Thunderbolt is smaller and more efficient than the Evo.

It is not the same core.

Its not even close.

Its a newer core than whats in the Evo shift.

Moreover, and ill reiterate, 14 hours for 90% of a battery with all the radios on and wimax constantly scanning for a signal is not "bad battery life."

If I took any ****ing phone and had it constantly searching for a signal the battery would likely be cut in half.

Engadget says it so it MUST be true right?

:rolleyes:

Of course you're the type to believe ANYTHING negative.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:

[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
It wasn't directed at you.

I personally never mentioned anything about viewing angles but I have to admit this phone isn't looking as amazing as I first thought it would be.

It's just insane to see the venom spewed by some people, not just in this thread but many others, because some of the reviews are critical of this phone.

"I've never even held this phone but how dare anyone say something negative about it!!!!"
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
Have you actually READ the engadget review? It is literally the most biased or worst quality review I have ever read on a "professional" site.

What in the world did the Evo 3D not deliver that you were expecting, might I ask?
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
If you read other reviews other than Engadget and thisismynext you will see they report better battery life than the original evo at launch. Also last time I checked, the latest official kernel provides stellar battery life. Which would not have happened if HTC did not provide the great device support they already do.

Here is an extensive review of the Sensation vs the SGII. I got bad news for you...

SGII

The Sensation (Which runs with a 1400 mAh, 3D has 1730 mAh) took the SGII in battery life. Considering the runs they made with the 3D while testing I think the performance is good for such a high end phone. I mean who runs around with all their radios turned on at all times and expects god like battery life? If you are not using it turn it off. When you leave your house you don't leave the lights on.

Also Sammy updates take forever to come out. My EVO had Froyo a good 7 months before my coworker got his update on his Galaxy S. Good luck waiting for Sammy to possibly update and fix that battery drain issue.

Also take into consideration the only slide out keyboard variant of the GS was on Sprint. Chances are this will be the same trend.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Yes I have. It was reviewed by the same person that gave the EVO a 9 out of 10.
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
I'm willing to bet that NONE of these reviewers know as much about the phone as most of us do. They have criticized 14 hours worth of battery life while leaving all their radios on, taking a bunch of 3D photos (which we know is one of the biggest drains of battery on the phone), and complaining mostly about the 3D portion of the phone (which isn't the reason most of us are even getting the phone). 14 hours while doing that is actually pretty dang good.

We are going to use our phones differently (shut off 4G when we aren't using it, or when we aren't in a 4G area for example), and I think that most of us will be very pleased with the phone. If not, we have a 30 day return policy that will allow us to take it back. I've seen the screen described as beautiful as well, so I'll make my own call on that. I agree with the above posters about not really worrying about wide viewing angles on a mobile phone.

As for the Galaxy....it's a Samsung mobile phone. Enough said.

Love my Samsung TV, but would never recommend a Samsung mobile phone to anyone I didn't hate. ;)
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:

I guess you must be new to the internet. On the internet normal conversational tones are not the same as if you were face to face. Also coupled with the anonymity, users are free to express themselves how they truly feel.

[EVO 4G General] life64x:
Bell the phone is not out yet and bashing already started..let's not forget how the EVO firstcame out..everybody complained about the battery life also..mostly the ones who never got it and one article even said it was a badly flawed device...along with the WiFi issue t had. Also the screen was to damn big...I was going to get another phone reading the articles...seriously..then I got a hold of of one in my hands and never looked back...look where it is today..I never look at my EVO at a angle...but diretly straight on and the battery issue with the EVO...well there really is not one for me. Wait till it is out...and let the xda forum have a crack at it.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
It's an Evo with a better resolution screen, more powerful hardware, slightly bigger battery and last (and probably least) it has 3D. It's like what I have now (which I love) but only better. I have my OG Evo sold for $200 and the 3D will cost me $200 to upgrade it.

To me, it's a no-brainer. I could care less if the 3D is good, bad or ugly. I'll use it to show off what my phone can do and that'll probably be it.

Games will run smoother and not lag with the more powerful GPU(i.e. Gun Bros, Asphalt, etc).

Searches and multitasking will be better with the more powerful dual-core processor.

Battery life? I already ordered two extra batteries and a wall charger to charge the batteries outside the phone from eBay China for like $12 shipped. Same thing me and many other Evo owners are doing now.

Streaming movies/Youtube/whatever will look better on a screen the same size but with almost 200,000 more pixels in it.

If a person is in the financial position to upgrade their phone, then personally I can find plenty of good reasons to do so that have nothing to do with the 3D features.

My $0.02.
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
Then that man has severe mental deficiencies. The Evo was rated 9/10. The 3D got a 7/10. They said it made no improvements... Better screen, better GPU, better processor, better battery, better battery life, better performance, better firmware, better sense.. I actually can't see anything possibly misconstrued as worse except for the megapixelage on the camera, but there are two cameras now that take 1080p video, which is... drumroll, better.

Aparently

9>7

worse>better?!
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Um, they all have locked bootloaders. Even the EVO 4G had a locked bootloader... I think HTC was stating that the bootloaders are not going to be encrypted, I doubt they would send the phone rooted, they have to give the devs a little bit of a challenge...

On another note, here is an excellent review of the SGS2 vs the Sensation, I know its not the 3D but battery life and many things will be similar or the same, barring the camera and RAM.
