Its all 8gb guys. all ones in inventory are 8gb. Stop freaking out
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
Why would they put 8gb cards in display models for employees/customers to steal them. I always see small cards in the phones at stores.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Idk how u can say that this is crazy if true second sprint BS move
[HTC EVO 3D] Excrucibo:
Any update on this?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Yeah, the world is over you need to spend $12 on an 8gb card...

...j/k, they are 8gb

Sent from my PC36100
[HTC EVO 3D] napalm5479:
If I pay $200 or more for a phone $12 is a lot. I don't want to have to spend more money. Call me cheap but I want whats advertised. Will my 16 GB micro SD card from my Vibrant work?
[HTC EVO 3D] slayer69:
Sweet!!!! glad I am Wrong on this one!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] vedavin:
I dont see why if wouldnt work.......It should, for sure
[HTC EVO 3D] phonefixdfw:
mine came with an 8gb. maybe someone jacked the 8gb from demo and put in a 2gb?
[HTC EVO 3D] tekmaven:
I can confirm that the unit I received had an 8gb card in it as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] armdavid2:
If you look in the user guide it says it comes with a 2 gb....but really, who cares....gonna miss miui but after playing with the demo unit im ecstatic
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
Im pretty sure that the green hornet movie you have to DL. I remember reading in a review that the phone just comes with a link to create a HTC Watch Account (their movie streaming service) then you get to download your free movie. kinda crappy if you ask me. the phone better come with the 8gb card, I have way to many 2 gb cards laying around.
[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
Mine came with 8gb.
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
Both of mine have 8GB
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:
mine has the 8GB in it too...
[HTC EVO 3D] dipsetmami69:
Got mine with 8GB
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
I'm pretty sure we can chalk it up to an error in the user manual and another useless thread at this point. No need to keep posting that you got the 8 gb card ;).
[HTC EVO 3D] Matstarr:
Not so fast buddy I got 2 EVO 3ds and they both have 8gb cards.. Sarcasm Off lol

The thread is done it was an error:D
[HTC EVO 3D] kingakuma:
Mine has an 8gb card i put my 16gb card in it, but i need t transfer the data from the 8gb to my 16 i believe it has the movies on it
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
so we know the evo 3d is 8gig now, but what class is it? 2,4, or 6 hopefully?
[HTC EVO 3D] mario23:
I'm swapping my 16G into it anyways so I'm not really worried about it. I imagine quite a few people will be doing the same...
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
So, I've had my sensation for a week, it was nearly perfect. But I wasn't sure that it was the best unit, cause battery was used fairly quick, GPS kinda weak, and a slightly washed out screen. I took the 14 day advantage I had at Walmart, and just today headed out there after work to grab the last unit they had! I called like 5 diff. walmarts but only that one had one unit.

Even the box was in such pristine condition, compared to the one I bought earlier, even though both were new. The first box had a date of 5/27. This new one has 6/3, so I'm hoping the June units might be better. Both Taiwanese. I haven't even opened my new Sensation yet, feel excited all over again:D:D

Anyways, to come to the point, how did you all start using you new phone, did you just take it out, turn it on, and use it? Or kept it off, charged it all the way, then use it? The reason I'm asking is cause the first one I had, I kept it off and charged it all the way. During that process, the phone got extremely hot towards the bottom, I mean hot like I've never ever seen in any phone before. And it pretty much stayed that way for atleast 2 hours straight. I'm thinking that I maybe messed up the battery up, cause too much heat can damage them. What do you guys think?

Edit: Another thing on my previous phone: the battery gauge was wacky. I would use if for hours and it would stay at 100. Then suddenly show like 85 or something.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
usually I will leave it off and charge it fully before using it. This time I turned it on right away, let it drain then charged it fully while off. I've only had my sensation less than a week so really cant ccomment on battery life. When you first get a phone though battery life will be worse because you play with it tons when you first get it :-P
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Charged it before turning on & it never got hot
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Yeah, mines seemed like a fluke, I've never had a phone do that before. This time, I'm thinking that I'll prolly turn it on before charging just to be safe.
[HTC Sensation] Flippy125:
My first two, I did. This one I used right away and today it's been unplugged for 11 hours and I'm still at 47% :o
[HTC Sensation] EmceeGeek:
I play with it until it fully dies, then I let it charge all the way; for the batteries sake. It last much longer that way.
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
I couldn't wait for it to charge completely. :o
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
I wasnt even out of the T-Mobile parking lot before I had my sim card in it and was messing with it lol.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Could you please tell us how your new phone is? I'll update my post when I check my box for the date but my battery does heat up and my power button is the slanted one.
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
also what panel is it?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Exactly....that's what most all manufactures recommend. I didn't notice it in the Sensation's manual, but I know I saw it in my G2X's manual.

For the last 5-6 devices I've had, I always run it dead from the box, then let it fully charge to 100%. As far as I can tell that really does help either calibrate the driver or condition the battery. I also do that pretty much every time its convenient.

I've never just charged it straight from the box.

I've always had great great battery life, under heavy use, for every phone I've had using that method.

I really don't know how important it is, but I know I've never had any of the battery issues that it seems many have with various devices.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Great advice, however I wanted to ask you that when you charged it back to 100% the first time, did you keep the phone off all the way? Also, did you perform any kind of a hard reset on it, and if you did, at what point?
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
I will surely report that info as well as panel info tomorrow after 7PM, as its late, and I havent opened the box yet. I was still trying to figure out the best way to start using the phone, as I didnt want to repeat the mistake I made last time.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
No, I let it die...plug it back in, turn it on.

Some people do factory resets out of the box....I never have (out of the box)...

I get easily a full day, 14-16 hours, with consistent use. WiFi always on, gps on when needed, tons of web activity, light gaming, 100+ texts, dozen or so calls. That's pretty normal.

The Sensation seems to go from full to 90% in a hurry, but then really levels off. No idea why, but it's undeniable with mine. Also, this phone is by far the best I've ever owned when it comes to idle power consumption. I'll regularly leave it unplugged while asleep and it might go down 5% at most.

That's my experience.....hope it helps. ;)
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Hoggles, thx so much for your insight. So after reading quite a few pages on other forums, especially the IPhone ones, I think I'm gonna fire it up and drain it & then charge it fully while its off. Now the only thing to figure out is when to factory reset the phone, as soon as I first turn it on, or after it has fully charged? Also, when fully charged, is it best to unplug it and then start it, or start phone while plugged in, and then remove the power cable once it comes up?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
I really don't think ya have to get that nit picky...as far as when or how to unplug. :p

Pretty simple and hard to go wrong....

Out of the box....use it til it shuts off on its own

Plug it in....

Turn it on if ya need to receive calls etc...

Let it charge to 100%...

You're Golden ;)

Repeat whenever you have the time...once, twice a month works for me.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
If somebody helped here, go back and hit the thanks button. It's a small gesture, but it lets the poster know you really liked it :)
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
I'm also use it out of the box until its battery drain and warning indication come out. Then I charge my battery.

I facing a weird condition during charging, where its goes up to 80 or 90% fast, but then to reach 100% very slow. It took 3.5 to 4 hours for my phone to reach 100%!!. I already use my phone for 15 days.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
This is the "proper" way to condition a Li-Ion Battery. it's best for the battery life during every day use and into the long term. Ideally you should use it until it get's down to about 2-3% then charge fully, and repeat at least 2-3 more times. Your battery will thank you for it.

I had started to think that this tried and true method was NOT working on my sensation and then today, almost one week precisely after I'd gotten it I saw a huge, noticeable difference in battery life over the first 3-4 days.

Condition your batteries people! You and your phones will thank you for it!
[HTC Sensation] torred:
I got the phone at Walmart the first day it came out and used it then charged it all the way.

Phone got very hot and I can not get it to last more than 6hrs on a charge no matter what I try.

(No GPS No WiFi No extra apps......you get the point)

Trying to return the phone to Walmart but they don't have any.

Something is definitely off her but I don't know if it's the phone or the battery.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Give the phone about a week to 10 days before you try to return it. I noticed a huge leap in battery performance on day 6-7 over days 1-3/4. I also saw someone else report a prodigious jump in battery life. Also I would advise Turning of 4G/WCDMA and using 2G/GSM only when you don't need.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
I usually use it out of the box(busy setting the phone up/testing) until the battery reaches 5% or lower, then fully recharge.

rinse and repeat whenever I can first few times, then maybe couple times a month after that.

I do not let the battery completely die as I've heard that is not good for the cells.
[HTC Sensation] rolltideburr:
I charged mine right out of the box to 100%. Then the next 4 days I let it get down to 10% and charged it all the way back to 100%. With moderate use over the day - 1 hour of web, prob about 6 five min calls, 200+ texts, 30 min of gaming- I have about half when I go to bed at 11.

I have noticed the back of the phone to get warm, but never noticeably hot.

I've done it both ways. Its really whatever works for you. Batteries have gotten so much better the last few years that you can really do a number of different things and still have great performance.
[HTC Sensation] dbirdflyshi:
the reason why the back gets hot is becuase of

1) hot hands reflecting hot metal back plate

2) battery heat aplified phone becuase of metal back plating

to fix this

hard) take back off and let it chill on a desk or table for 10 minutes

easy) take a break from the phone and let it lay on the table for 20+ minutes
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapmeaty:
I see lots of howto's for adding sd-ext, but no explanation as to why? I get that doing so would allow me to install apps on the sdcard, but the Incredible has so much internal memory I don't get why I would want to do that.

Is there some other benefit that I'm not seeing?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malacoid:
I installed Peggle which is 75M. There's several other large games which eat up free space quickly, so I move them to SD
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapmeaty:
Got it. Thx.
[Nexus One General] KidTech:
Hi, i'm looking to root my phone, I read on PCworld mag that Z4root and simple root are in the android market, but i assume google took them down. How can I root my phone through an app? I have gingerbread.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] FaithCry:
why not just install adb drivers? if you're rooting the n1, adb will be one of your best friends, and then that way all you need to do is

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and flash superuser... :P
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Gingerbreak
[Nexus One General] LFact:
Bootloader unlock: The fastest way to root, but don't do that if you're concerned about warranty. However, currently it's the only way to root 2.3.4 unless you want to downgrade to earlier version.
[Nexus One General] Horoscope:
it there any tutorial for Bootloader unlock or any link ?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Again, look at my signature.
[Nexus One General] efrant:
You cannot root your phone through an app if you are running build 2.3.4...

Gingerbreak does not work on 2.3.4...
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Ah.. ic
[Droid Eris Android Development] spyderkoz:
Nice first one to post nice downloading now
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
I'm downloading too - I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow after playing around with it for a while. Thanks for working on this!

[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Muhahhhaaa... insert evil laugh here...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Guys, please give me a lot of feedback on this... I want everyones opinion so I can improve this rom...

Thanks everyone!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
Just a few questions about this. I'm not trying to be mean or anything here, just looking for information.

What are the features of this rom?

Why would i want to use it over a CM rom or a different AOSP rom?

I assume it is gingerbread from the context of it asking if it is CM7, but this is never explicitly stated. The EverVolv site is also lacking in this kind of information. there is a wiki on how to install and stuff relating to specific phones/, and screenshots showing the launchers and the font they use, but no real information about the rom itself. point of fact, theres more information in the OP about these questions ("highly responsive, Excellent memory management and very lean!") than on their website.

Right now it seems that the major distinction is that "its not CM7."

after saying all that though, thanks for porting it! i'll d/l tonight for testing on the morrow! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] spyderkoz:
C2C from XTR is hard to find on the page you posted... and supercharger I am a little confused on...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Sorry guys, wrong link! I updated the OP, correct link is there for the script. I added some instructions for the Supercharger script. Once you get it going, it's pretty easy. The OP makes it look a lot more complicated than it really is...

It's been a bad day today :(

Thanks,

Rich
[Droid Eris Android Development] emarietta:
What's the difference between odexed and de odexed
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Odexed Roms are pre-optimized so all the apks will load faster... Odexed Rome cannot be themed also. Deodexed means there are no optimized files, which generally wont effect performance much and can easily be themed.

You'll notice a sought difference between them, the odexed versions runs smoother.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
Since I'm a ROM flashing junkie and work graveyard, I just loaded this up and am testing it out right now.

Observations from the whole 20 minutes I've had it on here: (de-odexed version, cuz I like to make patches in UOT kitchen :D):

The default LCD density in the build.prop is set to 140, which I like because it give it a nice high res effect, but some people might find hard on the eyes. Also, keep in mind if you're going to stick with 140, turning off compatibility mode in spare parts will help a lot of apps scale and look proper at this density.

Wifi works, GPS locks on (haven't had a chance to test out navigation yet to see if it has the infamous force close or lock up the phone bug), softkey lights work, camera works (including double tap to zoom in).

Overall the ROM is very stable and snappy, great job!
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrhousto:
Have you tried MMS on this yet? If MMS works then count me in!! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
MMS is a go! :D, I don't use it hardly ever, but just MMS'd myself from my gmail account (tendigitnumber@vzwpix.com), and it came through with no problems
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrhousto:
Thanks!! I'll be test driving this one for the next day or two!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Insane PPC:
i know in the other thread (macrom thread) that macordroid said he had a lot of free ram.

anyone else seeing this? i'm interested, but i just got the current rom setup the way i wanted and don't want to jump ship unless this is as compelling as it sounds.

looking forward to seeing more reviews
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Thanks for the feedback so far guys! I'll setup a density change file for those wanting the stock Eris density...

Keep posting the reviews. ;D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Anyone wanting to revert the LCD Density to Stock Eris (160 dpi), I have attached a couple of flashable files to replace the build.prop...

Stock will put you back at the standard 160 dpi, High will revert it back to the Rom dpi (140).

:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
Cool - thanks for the flashables! I will try the 160 today and let you know. So far I really like this ROM - other than the small text, which is a strain on my crappy eyes! :) But this is really zippy so far, and everything seems to be working great, including Navigation (which I know seems to be hit or miss anyway...but it worked this morning).

Great job on this ROM!

Update: ah - relief! The update to the density did the trick. It also helped with some of the issues when looking in the settings-->applications, where the size of the app was cut off at the top, I don't know if the Eris can handle the smaller font in all cases due to its native ppi (or whatever it's called!).
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
I presume 160dpi will make fonts (and other items) slightly bigger ? I manually changed build.prop from 140 to 160 and rebooted but text is now SMALLER !

I did notice that the 'dpi' entry is listed TWICE in build.prop. It's my understanding that the "last one wins". I changed both too...
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
This.

And it's the only one for me that seems to run my navigation apps (not the official google one), without causing the Eris have an aneurysm.

Good stuff all around :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
speaking of...how does this rom handle google navigation? Force closes? reboots? nothing?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Works fine
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
been my experience as well the 2 times I've used it on an approximately 50 mile roundtrip. Haven't used it since the 1st build, imagine it works the same on build 3 :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Ok, sounds worth trying out then. I'll miss CM, but I need to have working gps, maps, navigation at any moment's notice for work and the other roms just can't provide it yet. I wonder what is different on EV? Might try lifting out gps libs or drivers to see what happens...
[Droid Eris Android Development] homer169:
I just did back to back 1100 mile round trips with the newest version of maps and it worked almost perfectly. I was using slacker radio at the same time and the only issues were the navigation audio not switching to my car a few times, and two or 3 force closes each way. I don't think thats too bad considering it was 21 straight hours of driving each time. One thing I did that I think helped was mount my Eris in front of the AC vent to keep it cool during the trips. I think the heat is what leads to the rebooted and a majority of the force closes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
I wonder if installing set cpu and running a temperature profile to lower cpu max speed or control governor would help? Has anyone tried this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Can't hurt.... Navi is such a battery hog that for any reasonable length of time, it pretty much requires being plugged in and charging. Of course, while charging, that causes add'l heat on top of what the GPS chipset outputs !
[Droid Eris Android Development] homer169:
You might run into muli-tasking issues with a lower processor speed. Also keep in mind that just having the phone plugged in will generate battery heat. It also seems to get excessively hot just having the sun shining on it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] clell12:
Blue Tooth

Anyone having problems getting blue tooth to work? Tried mine today and it won't connect or let alone turn on,
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Hey Mac, just installed EV Eris 3 Lean Odex + ADW (I tried launcher 2, really, just can't do it). Really liking it so far. Zippy.

A few little things: this version has 2x zoom (no problem, but OP says 9x), the Lock Screen Rotary unlock tab is sized incorrectly (which may be related to...); the resolution (I believe) is set to 140dpi since everything looks a little smaller (OP says stock resolution on this one). Also, had a few problems getting lockscreen and notification bar settings to stick after initial boot, but seems fine now so I'm chalking up to new rom behavior.

Will test navigation on the commute home...

Keep up the nice work man!

edit: reset resolution to 160dpi fixed the rotary tab issue. think i liked the 140 dpi tho. Easy to change with Font Changer, so no biggie.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Me thinks its time for another update then. :) I must've forgot to push the libs in there...

I've got a new build.prop setup for these with some added tweaks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Ok, so I got a navigation reboot at 20 mins using newest version of maps. Guess evervolv not immune to the navigation issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Haven't noticed that yet...I don't use it much, but I've got a headset to test it out with. Which version are you using and was it a flashed update or a fresh install? Send me a PM and let me know. I'll load the same version and flash it the same way to test it. If it's broke, I'm sure it's something I can fix for you.... :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Do NOT use the latest version of Google Maps. The Maps application appears to be the issue, not the ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Understand. I was under the impression that evervolv did not have the navigation issues based on others comments. I was clearly wrong...
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
It initally worked for me on build 1. the maps version 5.2 that 'Mac posted works for me on this one.

I primarily use "Waze", which runs perfectly. Telenav is another free nav program that runs without hiccups on this build

Great! Been on this rom 2 days and it just flies! Love it. Looking forward to build 4...a suggestion: I was playing with resolution a but and found that 150dpi is really perfect for the eris. Try it, see what you think.

Also, anyone know a way to activate trackball notifications on ev? Got spoiled with cm7...
