[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
Hello. This post is going to be semi rant semi help needed. I'm going to list the issues on my infuse. Feedback whether or not you have the same issues or a way to fix would be great. I'm getting pretty irritated with this phone though. Here we go!

Apps crash way more than they should. Browser, camera, music player, Facebook. Just random.

When receiving phone call, it just vibrates. Trust me, the volume is up all of the way. I go to change ringtone and that doesn't even make a sound. I have to reboot for my sound to work. Very frustrating.

Call quality. Jeeeeeesus Christ. I have never had a phone where the other person constantly says "what? I can't hear you?" Or "why does it sound like you're a mile away from your phone?" Or "take me off speaker phone!" I ASSURE YOU the phone is on my face, mic by my mouth, and outside where I have full bars.

And now as of today, I tried to show videos I took at warped tour 2 days ago and get the error "cannot view video" I literally took the video myself with the phone. Watched it before. But now I can't.

Smh.....

Stock rom, I am rooted but these have been on going before I decided to root.

Like I said in the beginning. This is a rant/cry for help.

If anyone is having the same issues or knows a fix, reply?

Thanks for reading :)

It's defective, ask for a return.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
I tried. But I got on Craigslist without the box and att demands box and receipt. -_- I can always go with Samsung warranty but ill be phoneless for a couple weeks. Is the call quality bad on anyone else's? That's one of my main concernes.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] camoto:
LOL!

I bought a massage on craigslist and it was the worst massage ever. The chick wasn't even hot!!! I was going to ask for a refund, but she didn't give me a receipt and her pimp required a receipt for any refunds.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
Traded an iphone 4 without box.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
I used to have call quality problems but i fixed it. It can be fixed if you disable the samsung noise reduction, just press the menu key during a call
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
Thanks ill give that a try
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garak0410:
I agree...my call quality improved too after disabling the noise reduction.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DS1495:
I haven't noticed any of the issues you seem to be having.

Call quality seems good, (at least nobody has said anything negative about it). Phone volume works as it should, apps don't crash any more than normal.

You definitely have a dud, you may just have to go through the Samsung Warranty.. their service is excellent. They don't ask many questions, they simply email you a UPS shipping label, you ship the phone back to them, then in a few weeks, you get it back.

Samsung Customer Support is really quite good(at least in my experience.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
It also sounds like your "stock" in that you have no clue what was done to your phone before it got in your hands. I'd try flashing a ROM (infused is my favorite), and deleting all the data to have a fresh install. May help
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antuus:
I've had the same call quality issues. I just posted a week or two ago with the same frustrations. Multiple people would tell me that I wasn't talking in to the phone. Glad to hear of this noise reduction stuff.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tae4111:
Althought you bought the phone on craigslist. the att warranty is not void. I had this happend to me before. get with the previous owner. ask them for the cell phone number, and explain to att that you bought the phone from him. they will send you a replacement.

_NooB_
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
Ive had it for about a month now. I whipped data as soon as I got it. I've used all the roms for it but I bricked it so I am just on stock ATM. I really only rooted for screen shot capabilities.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
Eh I had bad experience with my captivate sim tray messed up.

Ill still go through samsung though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
Thanks. Ill give him a call. All I need is the number associated when he bought it and let them know?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
Yeah I Google'd the hell out of the call quality. All the reviews said it was great but not for me. Im glad to hear about that fix too!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottyb0721:
If you have the official Twitter app, it has been causing lots of issues with music, ringtones, videos and notifications not working. There has been a lot of success fixing these issues by simply deleting the Twitter app. It fixed all my media related issues.

I have had great call quality with mine though. I think it is way better than my iPhone 4 was for making calls.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrisyou:
I had media issues as well until i removed the official twitter app. All has been good for the last 2 weeks regarding media. Give this is a try!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iiKevin:
Wow thanks. Ill try that. I only downloaded that dumb app cause some girls I met at warped tour said they were on twitter and to follow them lololol. Ill give it a try. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carhigh:
Mine gets the video error once in a while too. I made a post about and there were some others with the problem too. It gets fixed after restarting.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Nova91:
Dumb question lol.

Sorry for noob question..disabling the noise suppression, do u mean uncheck it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Sounds like someone sold you a phone they dropped, wet, or abused.

WOW.... I sent a message to the seller.

"Question.. How did you root the EVO 3D when there is no working root method available? Could you give me some details about this or your root method? Thanks! kyle"

We'll see what this guy has to say...
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedgonzo:
Wow...

Let us know his response to his question, maybe he has the answer that all the devs are working hard to find.
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
I'm in kind of a surly mood today..

This is the question I asked the seller:

" How did you achieve the impossible?

How did you root a device that is locked and encrypted with a 256 bit key?

I'm sure HTC and several government agencies would love to know.

Shame on you if you actually scam someone out if their money with this fraudulent auction."
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I reported him, I suggest you all do the same.

What a jackass.

"that's bull****, i never heard of that" - something generally only ever expressed by real idiots.

How do we know it's fake? Did wiki/google/facebook not teach you to STFU until you know all the facts, or did you not get that lesson beat into you in HS?

Sad.

Funny thing is, I know for a fact that:

- Large chinese companies have more leaks than a dollar-store diaper

- Anyone stealing directly from HTC is looking for $$, not props

- If that's the case, this'd end up being sold via quick/anon sources

Hillarious would be if this were legit, but we ****ed ourselves by being dicks.

...good job troopers!

edit: legit or not, paying via CC or paypal guarantees you don't suffer if it's "fraud". It's a win / no-lose situation.

"Wow, I'm interested in this item. I've been all over my area looking for a Boost store that would flash a 3D for me and none of them say they can do it yet.

How did you accomplish this? I would love some clarity before diving in. thank you."

lets see what his response to that is...
[HTC EVO 3D] Stephanie95:
My ebay rating is over 200 and 100% positive... I sent the guy a message to give me a camshot of the bootloader... to see if it's "s-off" or "s-on"(I didn't say what I was looking for...) I said I was interested in buying one!:D

yyeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh..... bull****
[HTC EVO 3D] kingakuma:
something tells me all he did was "he either works for boost and added the esn to it's network or had someone do it for him" he has the msl for the device and changed the ports to work with boost, no root no nothing, hence why it still has the sprint apps on the device

LOL

MOST EVERY FEATURE WILL WORK, WHAT WILL NOT WORK WOULD BE SPRINT TV OR ANY CUSTOM APPS FOR SPRINT(MAYBE 2 OR SO) BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WILL AT GREAT DOWNLOAD SPEEDS. GOOGLE, EMAIL, AND MORE!!!

if the device was rooted and running a custom rom like he stated, you wouldn't have those apps. and he says

THE PHONE IS ROOTED AND YOU CAN USE WIRELESS TETHER 2.2 CUSTOM ROM why would you need to run wireless tether 2.2 if you're rooted most of the roms have wifihot spot hacked into the rom.

this dude is an IDIOT
[HTC EVO 3D] nitroxeno:
Looks like he found a way to clone the ESN of a boost phone:

Dear 8740mowry,

Hello, is the ESN/MEID on this phone still able to be activated on Sprint if I ever choose to or has it been changed to a boost only esn?

-------

Dear nitroxeno,

no this phone can only be activated and used with boost mobile

- 8740mowry
[HTC EVO 3D] Topgun966:
Just so you guys know there are some units shipped with s-off. Very very small amount but it has happened. I'm not daring this is legit, probably isn't but its possible. Also, since boost is still sprint you can with your msl change the programming in your phone, that didn't rewuire root.
[HTC EVO 3D] nitroxeno:
Boost will not activate "Iconic" sprint branded devices. The only way to get it on boost would have been to clone the ESN/MEID of a boost phone. Its true root is not needed but currently we have not found a way to do this as there are no readable memory addresses for the EVO 3D so I still call BS.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
looks like its gone or that's what the site says
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Sale ended by seller is what I saw. :D

Good job XDA members in saving headache for the unsuspecting folks out there.
[HTC EVO 3D] Stephanie95:
Good job everyone!

I think when I asked him for a picture of the bootloader- and gave him instructions how to do it... he cracked and panicked...:D

What a jerk!:mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] user7618:
Boost? Virgin would have been a better choice. Cheaper. :)

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
[HTC EVO 3D] blakeboys:
he said "ok" to my response too. ALso, he did end the auction. We did good guys, we protected someone from getting completely screwed over. well done everyone!
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
This is twice now we've saved the day. Last guy had the "oreo edition" EVO lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Latinaso:
the auction is back up... and besides, he has a pretty good rating for being lying about this... he could have a root, u don't know who that person is. he can clone the phone, what makes u think he cant root it?

also, paying with paypal guarantees you will get ur money back.

so, how about people stop hating and leave the guy alone?

ps. i have seen iphone jailbreakers sell their jbs on ebay before they post it online for free, what makes u think the rest dont do the same?
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
I wonder what sucker ended up buying it.
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
Paying with paypal does NOT guarantee your money back. I bought a 1TB eSata hard drive -- received a 500GB USB hard drive and lost my complaint! $60 down the tubes on crap. I sent pics and everything and still lost.
[HTC EVO 3D] dannytill:
It says he has 5 of these. Has anyone got anymore info out of the guy? The picture doesn't mean much as it's just a Google image. Is he offering any proof?
[HTC EVO 3D] BigBadBuu:
FACT.

Any purchase via credit card is protected from fraud, whether or not PayPal covers it. Yes, pass-agg/beta types will have to *gasp* spend 10 mins on the phone with the bank, but those raised with male daddies shouldn't mind this.

Again: for the buyer, it's win/no-lose situation; worse case, he keeps phone + $$.

Reading this thread, it's clear there's an element of "if we can't have it, we'll ruin it for him". And suggesting he's a (non XDA-approved) criminal, cos he doesn't respond to conflict in the typical pass-agg/beta manner is borderline racist, IMO.

So yeah... Intelligent consumers, the police, ebay, paypal, the bank, visa/mc are all there to do their jobs--this isn't ****ing WoW, noone's saving anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

Yeah, I don't think it was available right from the beginning. But like someone else said already, those of you who reported this as spam just saved an innocent person $675.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Where is the item at this time? I searched but couldn't find it.
[HTC EVO 3D] BigBadBuu:
fixed it for you.

[HTC EVO 3D] NoSoMo:
exactly. The only way to use paypal is to empty the balance and then make the purchase on your credit or debit card. Do not pay using paypal with any other means, you are not protected, at all!!!!

To reiterate, only pay with your debit / credit card when using paypal. You can always do a charge back if you didn't get what you received.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrc1330:
That mowry doesn't sound like he knows how to flash phones. He's a actually listed as dealer "can anyone spell (conflict of interest)"

Anyways he's a faker that s probably never even gotten an htc phone in diag mode. Its definitely an ebay scam, and most definitel a lie
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
Anyone who's used cdma workshop and qpst enough can clone an esn, rooting is way different.
[HTC EVO 3D] empathyislost:
Either everyone in this thread doesn't know how to market a product or you don't know about the gray-market 'flashing' business to make phones work on networks they weren't intended to.

Yes, the listing says 'rooted' but obviously isn't. It's a buzzword that people look for who don't know any better. I am 100% sure this phone is 'flashed' to Boost Mobile, unrooted. There are people in every city who know how to make this happen. I am aware the posters in this thread are most concerned about unlocking their Evo 3Ds so they can flash custom ROMs on the phone, but that is not the intended use of this particular item on eBay; it is rather to get the best, cheapest prepaid service on the best Android hardware.

If you're already looking for "Evo 3D Boost Mobile" on eBay, you are aware of what this phone is and what it isn't. This is not a scam, this is a real product for sale. The guys who flashed my Incredible to Boost currently have Boosted Evo 3Ds new in the box for $399.
[HTC EVO 3D] scottyd035ntknow:
I didn't see the ad but it is technically a federal offense to change the MEID (IE clone) a cell phone. This is why the guy might have been dodgy about letting any info out or he simply may have been an idiot.

But no you do not need root to flash a phone to boost.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
you do need an unlocked bootloader though and we didn't get that till late july, this is a june thread
[HTC EVO 3D] blackhacker70:
im trying to do mines on boost now
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Doubtful, because you're writing into the phone radio via a low level tool like QPST. That doesn't need root or S-OFF to make changes to the nv_flash (where I would assume it's writing to)
[HTC EVO 3D] scottyd035ntknow:
No you don't. You can do it to a bone stock unrooted phone and we should probably stop talking about it before someone violates the ToS...

I'd be curious how he did it, because I've been trying and have had absolutely no luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] eljean:
I believe you need to have an ENG HBOOT because the HBOOT automatically encrypts the MEID/ESN Locations as soon as you start scanning for them

Try flashing an ENG BOOT you can find it in the EVO 3D Android Development forum... note you need to have Root in order to flash the ENG BOOT...

The ENG HBOOT will disable the security locks and allow you to scan for the ESN Locations.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi there

Us there a screenshot app that will work with my device? Its not unlocked or rooted (its just a stock device)

Cheers!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] :
Your device must be rooted to make screenshot on the device itself.

The only way to make screenshots without root is the Android-SDK.

Here is a tutorial :)

I don't know any other method.

http://androidforums.com/droid-how-tips/18313-how-capture-screen-shots-sdk.html
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Lunchbox115:
Root procedure is done in a few minutes. Then install 'ShootMe' (available in Market) and you can take screenshots when you shake your phone. :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Buellrunner:
What exactly is rooting and what does it do? Is it the same as unlocking the device? How do I do it?

What are the upsides and downsides to rooting?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] :
If you root your device, you have access to the root partition of your phone. You can change whatever you want.

I don't know any downside
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] unomedmen1:
Yup, this is exactly why I rooted my Nexus. No more ads and ShootMe is great!!!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mindwalkr:
Can't find ShootMe in the market.. has it been removed ?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] spyz88:
Download "No Root Screenshot It" from the Market. Its $4.99 but its the only way that you can take screenshots without root.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] hoponpop:
that never worked for me. it's a total waste of money imo. just use the sdk. it's super easy if you don't want to root
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Exiled44:
Here is the ShootMe app. Just tested on My Evo & it works great.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] hoponpop:
I was talking about no root screenshot it lol. I found it much easier to just use the sdk for screenshots, plus both of those require root so they don't really help the op
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fergie716:
I think for the best quality use ddms. If you have SDK installed plug your phone in, open command prompt and type

ddms

Then device> screen capture

This worked way better than trying to root my phone.

I had some issues earlier in the day trying to figure out why my DDMS wouldn't work and since I've been using Eclipse, this tutorial worked WAY better and faster. I didn't have anything to install, just didn't know how to get to it within Eclipse. Now I do.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
This is something I wanted to bring up for quite some time. Comparing the TF's IPS display to that of a GTab 10.1 or an iPad, the colors on the TF display clearly seem washed out. Since we have the kernel source right now, is it possible for developers to include an option to calibrate the color saturation on the display ?

I see many such color calibration apps for other Android phones, but was just wondering if the kernel source itself is enough to do this for the TF ?

Appreciate other comments on this issue.
