[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
Thanks for your input but I think you are missing a critical detail regarding this thread.

My dads phone is grandfathered into no $10 fee for his current smartphone, swapping to any other phone even for an instant will result in the $10 fee on his account for having a smartphone.

Your suggestion includes the idea of activating the upgrade phone on my dads account. I wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade and NOT activate so that he would not be charged $10 on his line AND I would get an upgrade phone. The end of this story is

TO MY KNOWLEDGE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE A LINE AND NOT ACTIVATE THE PHONE AT ALL ON THAT PARTICULAR LINE.

AND

THIS ONLY REALLY MATTERS IF THE LINE BEING UPGRADED IS GRANDFATHERED IN TO NOT PAYING $10 FOR A SMARTPHONE AND THAT PERSON CURRENTLY HAS A SMARTPHONE.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkboy0901:
He will only get charged once unless the phone that gets swapped with his upgrade is a smartphone that gets charges the 10$ then he will get charged every month
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
That's what he's trying to do. Dad has a smartphone and this guy is trying to get the 3d for himself. Activating the 3d on dads line, even for a minute, will trigger the $10 smart phone fee for for dad. Since he said dad already has a smartphone currently.

Some brick and mortar stores will do this, like best buy or radio shack. I bought a phone as a gift using an upgrade and held it for over 2 weeks before activating. Just call in and have them activate it on your line. Should be fine. Even from sprint.com should be ok. Just call in and have them release the phone from that line first, account owner may need to make the call. Then have it activated on your line.

Key is to not power it up until they are activating it to your line. Since if it's tied to his line, it will try to auto activate. When it connects to the network the first time, it will try to activate on whatever line sprint originally programmed it to. That line is changed when you call them in to activate it, after having it released from his line first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
First, I would like to thank you for understanding my thread and posts and posting something that makes sense.

I'd like to mention that I have a 3d now and I just bought it on craigslist. This thread is really just informative at this point as I do not have a problem to solve any longer.

When I went to radio shack I tried to tell them it was "a gift for my dad". They told me that basically they could not give me the phone without activating. The guy there is older and not really very savvy so it could just be that or the policy has changed. How long ago did you do the gift thing?

The last time I did this was last Christmas. But I just spoke to a Sprint rep least week about this. I activated an old flip phone for my son, as he trashed his phone (which is why he won't get a nice phone). The rep was telling me he had an upgrade (which I knew) and I could get myself the iPhone using his upgrade. Plus on Sprint users forum, lots of people bought iPhones and sold them with no issues. Just had to call in and release the phone from their account if anything.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] richberry:
Hi everyone.

I just have a quick question about available RAM on the OG Droid. I remember before I rooted and loaded a custom ROM, the available RAM would be displayed in terms of XXMB+XXMB in XX (Xs being numbers of course. ex. 82MB+72MB in 14). After I flashed my first custom ROM, the available RAM would be just one number (XXMB). I use Advance Task Manager to check my available RAM usage. Just curious....why is this?

Did some searching but came up empty. Hard to put in the right criteria for the search to find what I'm looking for. If this is explained anywhere else, I apologize and ask for the link.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G General] twsnnva:
Can anyone tell me where important data such as call logs, texts, settings, etc... are stored on the phone? I'm using a script to backup stuff from the phone to a tarball on my desktop and want to make sure I'm getting everything important, but nothing unnecessary. It appears most of what I need is under /data, but there's also a lot of stuff there that I don't need. Also, will this location vary ROM to ROM or ASOP vs Sense? Thanks, Thomas.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
From a file system perspective, basically all data is under /data/data. Doesn't matter if it's important or not. Everything from contacts to fart app preferences is in a folder under there for each app.

Hi BK,

Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I needed. Thanks, Thomas.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
So I've noticed since I installed SetCPU now that it supports Tegra 2 devices that buttons when I'm in-call lag. I'm running EB 1.05 FR with stock kernel which I believe is faux's. Anyway's I have setcpu set to run at max 1500 and min of 400. I have 2 profiles set up one is to run 1500 max and 1500 min when charging AC and the other profile is set 400 max and 400 min when screen is off. I've noticed though that when I'm in a call and I take the phone away from my face and the screen turns back on and I go to hit speakerphone or end call it lags really bad and takes a few seconds to register the press. Anyone else experience this since using SetCPU? Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Nope. Running cm7 and faux older kernel. No overclock on mine but do have profile for in call at 500. Also running it on a powersave governor

ITS ALL WONKY!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Quick question. What is the benefit of locking the cpu at 1500 when charging?

I allow a range for the phone. On my screen off profile I have a min of 216 and max of 312 and my lock screen issues went away. I have been experimenting with different ranges and priorities for an in-call profile but have not found the sweet spot that completely eliminates the call screen lag.

Would love to know the settings others are using including priority.

For example, should I make my in-call profile a priority of 100 and the screen off profile a 90 so it does not interfere with the in-call profile?

[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Instead of dithering your efforts across the millions of duplicate threads constantly created in this board, why not settle in here and answer questions directly. The thread's title is bound to attract attention.

Issue #1: What do you know/can you tell us about the "unlock" from HTC?

Issue #2: Can the Evo3D record 1080p video?

Issue #3: Can the Evo3D display 3D in portrait mode?

We'll start with that, everybody else feel free to voice your own concerns.

Please be respectful of our visitor from Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
Issue #2: 720p (video max)

Issue #3: it can view 3d in portrait but not record due to two cams have to be horizontal not vertical. Think of it like your eyes. You see depth because of two of them...
[HTC EVO 3D] Forrest250r:
hey i work at sprint, why arent i special??? lol the 3D is in 720P the 2D should be 1080p and secondly most of your average sprint reps arent gonna have a clue about the HTC bloader issue, thats not their ball game. and lastly 3D can be viewed in landscape, it really doesnt work well if its in portrait, and the camera automatically switches to 2D if you dont record or shoot in landscape... you cant get the proper angles for depth perception from cams on top of one another.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Well, Matt Valenz was rather gung-ho an hour ago. I figured if they sent someone into the depths of the 'hacker den' he might have some useful information.

Aside from my nerd-rage at the miniscule size of this phone (which I'll likely come to terms with) the only thing really holding me back from full-on enjoyment is the uncertainty of getting the key to that crypto-signed bootloader....and since that one great night we've heard essentially nothing.
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
TBH I don't think it'll bother me to not get root. It runs great and bloatware is removable.

Don't get me wrong, I will root as soon as it is available but I am not going to let it bother me at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] Greenfieldan:
It will be unlocked. Countless HTC reps have said this. One of them even went as far as to point out that it's a good business strategy. The Nexus sold thousands of phones PURELY out of developer interest. Why wouldn't HTC want to tap into that market?

2 and 3 are answered here. 1080p is possible, but not available right now (think of it like the Evo frame rate. The hardware is there but the software isn't). It is possible to view the 3D in portrait, it just doesn't look quite as nice (some going on to say that it's practically unwatchable)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mrchewbacca:
Has anyone else with an R800x noticed that the wapshop.gameloft.com, Gameloft's in-phone purchasing site, now detects the specific R800x and lists the device as having no games available??

I had just visited the site, and later in the day I was checking again and suddenly it now shows "Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800x"

"Sorry, there are no available games for your mobile." :eek:

If I click on the phone name I can select the Xperia Play from a list, and it gets me back to the Xperia Play store page, as would previously load, and I can even access my downloads again...

Just thought it was strange. I thought I'd give it a couple of days to see if they'd add games or fix the re-direct, but it doesn't seem to be changing at all.

Anyone else notice this? Anyone know what's going on with this? Is there some corporate behind-the-scenes Verizon Market vs. Gameloft Shop vs. Android Market exclusivity battles going on?

Not trying to be alarmist, but it's a weirdly sudden change. I'm using same browser and same bookmark I've always used.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GavinMazey:
Same happens for me. Noticed it a few days ago. I hate how the apps are in different stores. I also wish gameloft would release all their games in the android market. I bought 4 gameloft titles on my previous phone and now I'm going to have to re buy them which is stupid. I also bought a game from them like a week ago through the wap shop and never got a link to download it. I sent an email and haven't received one back. I'm getting kind of pissed at them.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
thats why I download them on my computer. If you change what phone you are using and click on the my downloads button, it will give you a download link for any game you have bought on that computer but for the phone model you selected! :) I figured this out a while ago and havent had to rebuy a single game since. Even though I already had bought them all like 3 times at that point lol.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sithben24:
Yeah, I have the same problem. They're having a Club membership deal. 2 games $7/month, with two free games at the beginning. I'm going to try it out, see what happens.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] robvp:
maybe its a region thing?

i have 2 options here, i can go to wapshop.gameloft.com and it will show me all of the available "hd" games for the xperia play at 2.99 each, and if i go to the xperia play app and click on one of the games available for sale it will redirect me to my carrier's own gameloft shop which has them for the same price but in mexican pesos
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sithben24:
Probably. If I'm on 3G, it takes me straight to verizon.gameloft.com or something like that and it says "no games available". If I use Wifi, I can actually see games.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jaredangus:
I have the same problem. They advertize the Verizon app store underneath where it says they have nothing available. I'm really wondering if Verizon pays them to not allow us to buy games from them directly or some nonsense like that. I can find N.O.V.A. 2 in the Vcast app store but not in the Android Market even though the game WAS released to the market. I'm never ever going to buy from Verizon's app store... what if I change carriers?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] typikal82:
I'm having the same issue, I was going to get NOVA2 but it's not available in the Android Market. I saw it was available on the website https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftN2HM&feature=search_result , but it's "not compatible" with my phone.

There must be some confusion about the R800x on their end.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ny_amigo:
This issue is very concerning to me as well. I have been able to get around this issue buy selecting the phone explicitly on gameloft's site but its not streight forward. I like this phone a lot but I am worried if Verizon is trying some kind of lock down. In the end it will only hurt all parties if this is the case.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
Agreed. I don't care if it serves me caviar on toast. I will not use a _CARRIER_ provided App shop. Unless it allows me to go download my apps/games/etc once I'm safely with another carrier. I guess I'll just buy over my wifi and then download it similarly. (which considering the size of some of these games, isn't a bad idea). Still, to yank the ability to buy games directly from the creators at reasonable prices instead of the carrier having to get their extra pound of flesh (or pound note, or US$2-3 in this case), it just screams greed and lock-down (based upon greed and insecurity).

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
no.. unless you're one of the unlucky ones with the bad batch of emmc chips that fails to initialize. that's more a hardware issue than a rooting issue, though, and not something to worry about. you might do well for yourself reading this thread in regards to /cache mounting errors.

the downgrade is only done temporarily for the rooting process. after you've rooted, you can upgrade to a custom rom built from 1.84 (or any other firmware version) and get all of the functionality back and then some. I'm not sure what fixes were addressed between 1.34 and 1.84 as I am a G2 owner, but regardless, once you're s-off, you can use any firmware version you'd like that is supported by the DZ.

I would like to try the latest fantastic zKernel 2.6.29 (link to thread HERE) on my Stock SE 2.1 ROM but I don't know very well how to perform certain operations. In particular:

1) How to check which xRecovery I have inside my phone?

3) Once I install the kernel through xRecovery (just choose ZIP and install right?), how to go back to the stock one in case something wrong happens?

4) Before new kernel installation, do I have to perform some cache cleaning or other similar stuff through xRecovery?

5) Other steps needed/suggested to do?

hi, this is my first post in xda and sorry if i already made a mistake to start new thread here

so i m a samsung galaxy s user and huge fun of miui rom !! But since v5 i have noticed an serious issue that sim card was not working after even clean ezbase froyo installation wipe data/system/cache

so .... after unsucsesfull 50 try (almost really ) so finally i figure out how to fix it,i find a kind a helpfull to share my experience with miui rom

1- first things first higly recomended clean froyo firmware(or bootloader) so my choice was a ezbase froyo --- link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991792

2-phone must be rooted,here s the link that i m always check for rooting my galaxy s (if u flashed ezbase than your phone is already rooted so u can skip this step)

3-after clean installation of froyo/ezbase than make sure that your simcard is working and imei is correct

4-If everythings working as used to be than install app call " boite a outlis SGS" from market (sry its a french app)

5- open the app u installed from step 4 and allow for root access.even app is french luckly main tab bar is english so click on "efs" (3.th from left) and than click on option 1 (sauvegarde EFS) this will backup your correct imei/efs to app s own folder on internal sd card.

6-than just flash your miui rom as normal(but do not format to internal sd card)

7-after u finish with clean and correct installation of miui rom than install same app from step 4!! and than click on "efs" tab and go with second option(restauration EFS)

8-restart the phone and KABOOOM"""" there u go now u have a clean miui rom with correct imei and working sim card
