[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
You won't get your EVO back. You can swap the EVO3D for another new phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Biker1:
So if you swap your existing EVO 4G to get a 3D, You will pay

199-150 trade in = 49.99.

And if you return the 3D within 30 days because you don't like it,

You >>

1) pay a 35 restocking fee, and can pick a different device.

What happens if you want the Evo 4G, which is $99.99 at Sprint?

Do they just give you that after you pay the $35 restocking fee?

Which means you just paid $150+49.99+35= $234.99 for that Evo 4G?

If the above is true, and I want to try the EVO 3D, I would keep my Evo 4G, and pay the $199.99 and if I kept the EVO 3D, I would have my Evo 4G as a back up.

Edit:

Ok. I guess Sprint would give you $49.99+150 (the EVO 4G trade-in)-35=$164.99 for a refund for your EVO 3D, and if you purchased the EVO 4G, Sprint would deduct $99.99 and refund you $65.00 before taxes of course.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1BadHEMI:
In essence you would get about $11 back from Sprint, if you traded in a 4G to get the 3D (199.99-150=49.99, new 4G would be 99+35 for restocking fee, and you would get the difference back).

Just keep in mind, at least here in MD, Sprint's 30 day return policy is actually 29 since they count the 1st day of activation day 1. And then depending on if there are 30 or 31 days in the month. To make a long story short, my wife purchased a Nexus S 4G on May 15th, and tried to return the phone on June 14th, but according to there math, it was day 31, not day 30, even though Customer Care told the store manager (at 2 different stores btw), that they needed to go back to school to learn math...

Needless to say, she is still stuck the Nexus with its flakey signal issues...

Of course YMMV? Just my FYI on Sprint's return policy!
[HTC EVO 3D] Pr20:
The question i have is can i just upgrade to evo 3d now and try it to see if i am ok with it and then if i like it give the evo back to sprint for 150$ at a later date? Does the 150 I get go towards my bill or only credit towards buying anything from sprint like accessories or new device?

Hello.

I've got big problem which ate almost all my yesterday's free time.

Well, I have nandroid backup from may where I have correct(so called "Correct") contacts photos. Sadly when I restore it and sync with my Gmaill acccount it overwrite all Correct avatars these from Gmail.

What I want is to sync Correct contact photos from nandroid backup back to Gmail. I tryed a lot of different ways: delete contact on gmail, editing them on phone etc. None of them worked correctly. It's all the time overwriting Correct avatar.

Maybe there is any way that I can copy all contact photos so I can upload them on computer(it would take few minutes to do it)? If not what else I can do?

I hope you'll understand me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mordekainen:
You could:

1) restore the backup and reboot the phone without a sim card to prevent the automatic sync (or you could just be quick and disable your data connection right after the reboot)

2) save your contacts to sd card (there is an export/import option somewhere)

3) go to the google contacts website, delete all your contacts

4) delete all your contacts on the phone

5) import the contacts you saved to your google account with the google contacts website
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evolucja:
But export contacts to SD Card doesn't export contact pictures, does it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mordekainen:
I'm not sure about this, sorry...

Did this procedure for other reasons a long time ago.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evolucja:
It doesn't, because it's exporting contacts to .csv file and when I tryed to open it on computer contacts didn't have pictures. After all the file is too small(about 230kb) to contain contact icons..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evolucja:
I'll print a picture and post it on the wall of person who would help me. Maybe someone knows where are contacts thumbnails stored in Android? :(

1. using Flash Tool - unpack blob stuff..

2. use sin2img to extract system.img from system.sin

3. extract system.img to system with unyaffs unpacker

4. from unpacked folder delete all symlinks

5. create META-INF structure and place update-script use some from 2.1 roms avail on x10 section...

6. pack system & META-INF

7. flash.

so some folder has to have:

system & META-INF >>> pack to some.zip

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbitratorofall:
Hey everyone. I have an odd issue that seems to pop up from time to time.

I have a refurb Epic, since my original died for some unknown reason, that seems to cycle the usb connection randomly. When plugged in to either a PC, wall or car dock with 3 different cables the phone will flash that it is USB connected many times as though it looses conection. The times that it does it and number of times are random. It has gone hours and all of a sudden does it 10 or so times a minute. Has anyone else heard of or seen this? I think the USB port may be bad.

I also thought maybe it was the battery, but I pulled the charger from the car dock and it persisted.

I decided to use custom gingerbread ROMs on this phone and have only noticed it on them. I will be trying stock froyo and if the problem goes away try leaked stock gingerbread as. Reference.

Sorry for the wall o text. I have been trying to figure it out for a few weeks now.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprocha101:
This was happening to me on some gingerbread roms. I went back to froyo and it stopped.

After upgrading the official 2.2, I face more sdcard readonly problem. Anyway to do online fsck without reboot?
[Defy General] om4gus:
I unmount and then re-mount again from settings.

Also, sometimes my photos in microsd disappear. At first thought it's because of my microasd broken. So it's also because of ROM?
[Defy General] fkam18:
I figured that out when I took picture and then couldn't find that in Gallery.

But there's no alarm of anything that the /mnt/sdcard becomes read only though.

I didn't have this problem before upgrade.

I did move some App's to SDCARD. Not sure if that caused this problem.

My phone has gone belly up with a 16GB PNY card in it as well since the UK 2.2 retail release, photos not showing in the gallery after being taken etc.

You shold flash any official 2.2 rom via flasher and only THEN flash custom ROM's.

It has happened because radio module was renewed in official 2.3.3 and custom ROM's cant work with it.

[HTC EVO 3D] willy900wonka:
I use my Evo's at the fringe area of sprint's network. Yesterday I had the 3D and the 4G ( within a couple of min of each other) try to sync friend stream. The original Evo 4G did it with no problem. I ended up having to allow data roaming on the 3D so it could access the "ether".

BTW the wife's evo shift had 3G so wtf 3D ?

I'm wondering it this is a singular experience or the radio needs a tuning upgrade? Probably another point for having an unlocked boot loader. Hey if sprint pays the roaming ....
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I'm noticing reduced 2G and 3G reception too...judging by the Sense "bars" at home I'm in a kinda fringe area....and on the 4G I would get 3...sometimes 4, more often 2 bars. On the 3D I get 0 to 2 bars, most often 1.

Though perhaps they changed those bars to reflect 3G instead of 2G....I know the 2G coverage around here better than 3G by a small bit. As far as usability/performance I have noticed no difference....except at work in the bathroom, noticeably lower speeds/threshold for roaming...potential deal breaker

But I imagine a radio update would be able to address this, perhaps it already has been...I'm not applying any OTA for now though.

But, yeah, slightly weaker 3G performance....but I can live with it.

It gets me thinking though, if we can't get this thing unlocked in the 30-day window and I take it back and wait for the SGS2, which will likely have the usual lackluster Samsung radios....will that be roughly the same as this? Cuz i can live with that, or will it be worse? Cuz I couldn't deal with reception less than this...not even by a hair, I'm already on cusp.....but, if it is the same or better then I have no concerns....
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:

[HTC EVO 3D] jackzepplin:
I live less than 10 miles from the Sprint headquarters and can't get 4G connection in my neighborhood. I certainly didn't expect this to be what all the hype was about.
[HTC EVO 3D] Semantics:
I used to need an Airave, then I moved. I had full bars in my home on my EVO 4G and my wife did also on her Palm Pre. I called Sprint and told them I no longer needed the Access Point and to send a return kit. I picked the EVO 3D up two days later, and I now need to keep the Airave. My wife still enjoys full bars on the EVO I gave her, but I get 1 bar consistently, at home.

I also used to get 5 bars in my office with my EVO, I get 2 if I'm lucky with the 3D. Between the ****ty reception and the lag, its probably going back before the 30 days are up. I love the hell out of the phone otherwise, but it lags too much. Poor reception, though, thats a deal breaker for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] eviltwin24:
I have both phones and I can tell you I get much better reception with the 3D than I do with the evo. On 4G I get 1 bar with the evo and 2 bars with the 3D. Im also noticing that on the 3D 4G stays on all the time on my evo it would switch drop the 4G connection all the time and I had to disable/enable 4G in order for it to connect again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Samzebian:
I've been noticing a LOT of roaming happening on my 3d lately, in comparison to my OG evo, it's a lot worse. Otherwise, I have an airrave at home, I wanna get something like that for work. I guess you have to make a tradeoff somewhere, amazing battery life with ****ty reception, or decent reception with horrible battery life. I take the 1st one.

Plus I'm finally finding 4g in my area

Noticing a lot of roaming on my 3D as well. Never saw it on my Evo.
