The 4G+ supports what's called WiBro which is actually Wimax. I think its just a different standard, but it could probably become compatible with sprints Wimax with modified software. I'm only speculating as I am in NO WAY knowledgeable of the technology.

Sent from my HTC Evo
[EVO 4G General] mxmarcus:
Too bad for us here.

Will love to see EVO 4G world phone.

GSM bands for international travel.

[EVO 4G General] gregg23:
No kickstand! I have zero interest in the 3D technology, so if this was a bit cheaper I would certainly think about it. It just seems the hardware is a bit underwhelming when you consider what is coming out later in the year. I never understood why HTC didn't make the EVO its flagship brand and make an incredible iPhone killing EVO 2. Then again, they let Sprint destroy the stock EVO with its **** bloatware, so I guess I am expecting too much.
[EVO 4G General] hotrodssnova:
Rooted EVO and no bloat. With the 3d coming out and the I5 also, you can be sure an EVO 2 is on the way. HTC is also shipping with an open bootloader so you can delete the bloat. Devs will be cooking roms faster then ever. HTC and Sprint listens to what the masses are requesting. I say kuddos to HTC and Sprint, keep up the good work
[EVO 4G General] chrisr407:
Im gonna wait. This is the one I would rather have.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Then youll be waiting for a long long time b/c its not coming here. its an overseas device. plain and simple.
[EVO 4G General] Omatter4:
looks like Korea is getting the 4g+

http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-Flyer-4G-and-EVO-4G-Arrive-in-South-Korea-at-KT-207938.shtml
[EVO 4G General] pkilla:
4g+ nice!!!
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
I'd get the 4G+ in a heart beat to upgrade my 4G to, if the real world reviews were positive.

I'm extremely happy with my 4G and it would take a lot for me to give it up. And the 3D technology is something that is not doing it for me, even though the other technology of the 3D is stuff that would sway me. But that 3D stuff is a deal breaker along with that button and switch to operate that gimmick.

Edit:

Since the 4G+ is going to Korea, I'll wait for the next non 3D HTC device to come to Sprint.

I have a feeling I'm not alone regarding waiting.

And I have a feeling that there are many EVO 4G owners that will not be giving theirs up for the 3D.

Even though the rest of the upgrades on the Evo 3D are what 4G owners would upgrade to, the 3D camera is a turn off for most, and may just be a marketing blunder for Sprint.

To not want the 3D just because of the camera is hard to figure out, but that is called Supply & Demand, and it may be as simple as aesthetics.

In edition, I bet only a fraction of 3D's are sold as compared to the number of 4Gs that gave been sold.

And I will go as far as to say Many more 4G owners would have upgraded to the 4G+ then will to the 3D.

Time will tell.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
The thing I don't understand is that I thought that Evo was Sprint's branding, not HTC's. If this is going to Korea, why is it called the Evo?

Granted, all the Evos so far have been HTC, so maybe I'm wrong about who owns the brand. But so far Evo has only been used on Sprint, and I thought it was theirs. Like how Verizon uses Droid.
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
I was searching on the web, and it appears HTC was getting a trademark for the 'EVO' .name, but I am not exactly sure. Plus I don't know if trademarks are International.

On another note, I would like to know the following regarding the 4G and 3D >>

- how many 4G owners are keeping their 4G and have no interest in buying the 3D?

- how many 4G owners kept their 4G but purchased the 3D?

- how many 4G owners traded in their 4G to get to get the 3D?

- how many Sprint customers never had a 4G and purchased the 3D as their first EVO?

The following questions may be better answered after 30 days >>

- how many 4G owners are glad they kept their 4G and are returning their 3D?

- how many 4G owners are so happy with the 3D that they regret not trading their 4G?

- how many 3D owners wish they kept their 4G and would return their 3D if they did?*

* when customers trade in their 4G to get the additional $150 off the 3D, what happens if they want to return the 3D within the 30 day trial period?

- how many previous 4G owners traded in their 4Gs and are glad they did?

- how many customers are not happy with their 3D, but since they traded in their 4G and cannot get it back, don't admit their dissatisfaction to others?

- how many of the above will admit their dissatisfaction to others?
[EVO 4G General] SouthernEvo:
I just got back from playing with the Evo 3D at a local Sprint store . Its a nice phone but I dont care for the 3D or the dual cameras . Yes Im aware that you can disable the 3D and run the phone like normal . For some reason it just pushes me away , I feel like Im buying something that has a feature on it that I will never use . Mainly due to the fact that I used the phone for maybe 5 mins and the 3D gave me a headache . Needless to say if they launch the EVO 4+ I will be in line to upgrade my EVO 4G in a heartbeat . Till then Im with the other Evo customers and sticking with my original EVO . On a side note I know when I walked in they were all over me about selling me one . Me personally I dont think the EVO 3D is selling as good as they hoped it would . If I wanted to watch something in 3D I wouldnt be doing it on a 4 inch screen I would go home and use a 50 inch flatscreen for that . Just my two cents
[EVO 4G General] XxDjbluexX:
Sprint isn't getting it. It's going to Korea
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
Never say never.

If Sprint sees the the Evo 3D is not selling nearly as well as expected, they may pull the Evo 4G+ outta their EVO Hat :-)
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
What is the point of selling this. It's the same damn phone. Just set the camera to 2D and you are done.
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
I explained some of the reasons in a previous post.

The bottomline is Supply & Demand.

And I don't need a Damn 3D camera, and don't give a hoot about it being the first phone in the USA to have it or showing it off to my friends.

The bottomline is that I would purchase the EVO 4G+ but Not the Evo 3D.

And from what I have been reading, many others feel the same way. Whether others understand is something that really doesn't concern me.

I think the lack of sales of the EVO 3D, as compared to the total sales of the EVO 4G, and the small amount of EVO 4G owners willing to trade in or purchase the 3D will be very telling regarding Sprint's decision not to bring the EVO 4G+ to the USA.

And if the 3Ds sell by the tons, that's great too. I just won't be among them.

But no matter, I'm very happy with my EVO 4G, and very willing to wait and see what device comes out next on the Sprint horizon.
[EVO 4G General] Blayz:
If it came out and was the same price as the EVO 3d would you still buy it? The EVO 4G is only like $50 cheaper right now so i would think the 4G+ would be more expensive and thus probably same price (if it came to Sprint)
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
The >>

- Evo 3D is $199.99

- Evo 4G is $99.99

- if the Evo 4G+ was the same price as the Evo 3D, yes, I would buy it.

And of course if it was less, I would buy it also :)
[EVO 4G General] samsunghater:
it's the kingdom if u look at it and the blurred pic that was released awhile back its the kingdom and its coming :D im waiting on it
[EVO 4G General] tbgreen89:
I think you may be right. I will hold off for the kingdom. It's suppose to be like the Sensation. Which is tempting to go to tmobile. Sensation + 10mbps plus = awesomeness!! But sprint is cheaper...
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Sprint isn't going to release another phone from the same manufacturer thats 98% the same...
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
IF it is the Kingdom, I'm glad to see the rumored specs were just that. Maybe it's just like the EU bound 3D, and as reported, just a SK Evo variant. Sounds like a sweet phone, so I'd like to see that be the case. But I'm not convinced just yet. I just want some solid info on upcoming Sprint devices.
[EVO 4G General] ubigred:
I played with one for about 15 mins... The notification bar/pull down menu is what I really want. So accessible! 1.2 dual core is a plus too.
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
The 4g+ is the HTC rider that leaked around the same time as the kingdom. Not the same phone, the kingdom is a 3d single processor, with less RAM.
[EVO 4G General] Jeff_in_LA:
I agree! The biggest offender is the Sense UI itself. Especially a 3D sense ui.

What a big hogging piece of trash. Totally unnecessary too. Run CM7 on a EVO and feel a smooth experience.

I want a dual core Nexus S.. that would be the ultimate.
[EVO 4G General] stankcheeze:
IDGARA about the 3D. Nothing 3D currently on the market impresses me at all. Just a stupid gimmick to me. Besides, most of the 3D functionality will probably be proprietary HTC garbage so you'll lose all that when you move over to CM or any AOSP ROM.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
Everyone is talking about the price of the 3d, and how much more the 3d tech raises the price of it but there's one problem with that. It doesn't, at all.

The Evo 3d retails about the same as the original Evo. $199 with a new 2 year contract, $550($50 more than original) buying it without a contract. Same as what the Epic retailed for without a contract, and $50 really isn't all that much when you're already in the $500 range. This device is going to Korea, not US Sprint as it's been mentioned before. If it was, then the most the thing would retail for less is probably at the most $30.

Are you seriously mad about the kickstand? And also, what do you mean underwhelming? There are only a few other devices available with dual core setups. Also, it's kind of hard to make the Evo a flagship brand when you've got like 10 different phones with similar or same features. Sprint is the one with the Evo Brand, not HTC. But even when you get rid of bloatware on the Evo, it's still not as smooth as it should be. That's a problem with Android, not just bloatware.

On hardware like Snapdragon, Sense UI is hell of a lot smoother than AOSP. Sense also isn't just the launcher, Sense is integrated into just about everything on the device.

Oh and one more thing, you can turn the 3d off.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Is this the same pull-down menu that you can get now with GB ROMs like VaelPak AOSP? I have that now, toggles all my radios, rotate, brightness, silent/vibrate/ring, LED flashlight, etc. Very handy. Or is there something different?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantzzz:
Hi all, rather than import all my contacts from my sim to the phone, I would rather the phonebook display the contacts in my sim card.

However there doesn't seem to be an option to display SIM directory contacts

Is this possible? :confused:

Help anyone?

I pretty dread transferring all my contacts to the phone

I usually store new contacts in the SIM

This Tool is for Backing up the /efs folder!

In the EFS Folder your IMEI and other very important Files are stored!

It's a MUST to back it up!

A corrupt ROM or Script could change this Folder, like we have seen at Nexus Sense or TWRP !

and I don't want to say something bad about the Nexus Sense Dev! He is a very good Dev and I only want to bring a example for this Tool!

be sure you use a Unsecure Boot Image !

ICS 4.0.3 Unsecure Boot.img

Make sure you have USB Debugging ON!

To back it up run efs_backup.bat / efs_backup.sh

to restore it run efs_restore.bat /efs_restore.sh

PERFECT !!!!

I will think this.. and you have done !
[Nexus S Android Development] SoleOfJohn:
Didn't need to throw Nexus Sense under the bus again, we all already knew it... This is part of the moving on that everyone has talked about... Would like to see an edit for you to remove that part...
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
hey, you have an error in your backup script file:

" adb pull /efs/ " should be "adb pull /efs/ . "

you require an destination argument for adb.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
That is only a example, i don't want to attack him! :) I always supported him and told all the other the same: "That this is not his fault and so on"

its not "adb pull /efs/" its "adb pull /efs"

so it will pull the whole folder! :rolleyes: so i have tested it! its working okay! :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
ok i found what is causing the error. i am running an other adb version like it is in your file. my version requieres an dst argument: adb pull <remote> <local> yours not. but you have not ./adb written in the file, so it uses my adb binary and then the error on cures. so you should think about placing ./ before your adb or provide or you place the "." behind it, that it works on all adb versions.

brm thomas
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
Oh thanks used it on my computer and it used the pathed one so i thought it can handle it :)

will upload it in a few minutes again

EDIT: Linux Version is fixed thanks to trismegistos
[Nexus S Android Development] Nux1990:
Sorry for the stupid question, but i must only run "efs_backup" and will I have the backup? (Nexus S must be in bootloader mode...correct?)
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
Nexus S must have USB Debugging on and you have to run backup_efs and you will done!
[Nexus S Android Development] Lunchbox115:
Does it work on SGS too (should work, right?)?

Yes, of course :DD

[Nexus S Android Development] matt2053:
What exactly does this do? I have already copied /efs to my PC some time ago. Does this do anything additional?
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
No is just a Handy Script that copy it to your PC and with the other Script it restores it! and you can use it on PC without ADB installed, cause it is included!

I think the ADB thing is Major positive point!
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
working on a efs backup app! will update as soon as possible! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
Awesome!

I'm going to back it up because you said its a good idea and your programs work perfect, is this for people who flash cyanogen and miui?thanks for all your noob Prof tools,making this whole development experience great
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
thanks for this borky,i ran it and it said one of the adb files were missing so i put the one that it said was missing into the folder and then ran it.i seen daemon started as if it started to work but it just went away really quick.how can i check to see if it backed up my efs?running windows 7 pro,any help would be very much appreciated:)
[Nexus S Android Development] alf69mi:
Thankyou Borky_16, you saved my life today
[Nexus S Android Development] novagol:
this happened to me as well, don't know what the problem is though :/

he guys i will update the tool tomorow, have been busy with the one click root !
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Thanks borky,we will be patiently waiting I'm just glad your still supporting this
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
Script updated! should work better now!

This is what I get after running the script. Is this right?

The "command not found" lines are making me wonder....

mhmm nope this is an error thanks for the output i think i made a mistake in the unix version! :(

when I'm back home i will look at it!
[Nexus S Android Development] pdxrealtor:
Glad I asked, and glad it helps you.

Not sure if it matters whether or not USB debugging is on or off, mine was on.

I went ahead and grabbed the EFS folder and put it on my MAC, but would like to have the script should I need it vs. having access to the backed up folder.

Maybe that makes no sense to those who know more.. :D but for me I just don't know.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
yeah i used this time in the scripta newer adb so i think i need shell! yeah the error is very usefull! ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] tehgeekguy:
edit the script in lines 11, 12 and 13 to say ./adb instead of straight adb. For example:

./adb wait-for-device

./adb get-state

./adb pull /efs

Same thing for lines 11-17 in the Restore script.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
yeah i know that but have been too busy atm!
[Nexus S Android Development] tehgeekguy:
No worries, that was more for pdxrealtor's benefit so he could get the scripts to work properly.
[Nexus S Android Development] pdxrealtor:
Thanks... I got the folder backed up for now. I'm an adb retard :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
yeah but another problem is that on unix things the udev have to been setbup and so mostly they pathed it! thinking about a version without a adb in the folder !
[Nexus S Android Development] tehgeekguy:
Yep. Honestly, I just pulled the two scripts out and threw them in my platform-tools directory and ran it with my existing adb. It's cool to have it in the zip though, for those who haven't set up adb.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
fixed the Linux/MAC Version!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
hey borky thanks i think it worked this time i see nv.log,nv_state,nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 is that rite and to restore just hit restore.bat,thank you very much.its nice to be on the safe side for a noob like me
[Nexus S Android Development] superfloup:
The script doesn't work for me on Windows 7, I get a "Permission denied" error.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:

Yes, I run it as admin.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
what ROM? Driver set up?
[Nexus S Android Development] superfloup:
On CarbonS 0814 with Peter Alfonso kernel. Adb seems to work with /sdcard ...

mhmm i really don't know what is false! have to be a iusses with your pc! i tried the scripts on several win7, vista and xp machines and never got any problems! weird!
[Nexus S Android Development] superfloup:
I'll try again on my linux when I come back home at the end of week. I really dislike windows ...

Edit : Finally, it worked ! it was a ROM issue, I flashed ZuluGen 1.0.2 and it's ok ! Yhanks for this tool !
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
ok i also dislike windows! :)

no problem!
[Nexus S Android Development] JuliusCes:
Where are the backup files stored? On phone or on PC?
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
I think if the program succeeds it will make a folder with everything it on your pc but I'm waiting for a reply to see if it worked properly for me so I'm not a 100& sure

Was reading someones reply who lost there efs folder on the hsdpa data tweak op and he was told he wont be able to get it back so now I really want to Make sure I backed it up properly
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
PC ! I think phone storage is a bit dangerous! ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
Whats your problem mike?

seems to work for everyone here? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] JuliusCes:
Thanks for your reply. But where on the PC? I used Ubuntu Linux to back up the efs.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
in the foldet where the script is in! ;) hey a linux friend! nice!

EDIT: or in the folder where your adb is located! ****/android-sdk/plattform-tools ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
I have no problem I only asked if it worked properly for me,that's it I'm not complaining as a matter a fact I'm grateful, after I read someone else's post about loosing his efs and now has a dead phone I just wanted to confirm that it worked properly for me,thanks borky I do appreciate it and have always expressed my gratitude
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
oh i miss understood something? :O
[Nexus S Android Development] JuliusCes:
EFS back up location

Thx Borky...I've backed up up my efs twice. Once manually and once through the back up tool. As you said the files will in the folder where you stored the efs_backup and efs_restore.

Linux is the way to go

Cheers,

JuliusCes
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Hi Julius,could you tell me how to manual back up the efs folder
[Nexus S Android Development] jorim.tielemans:
With the command

adb pull /efs

?

Or just use rootexplorer maybe
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
i don't recommend the root explorer thingy,because of chmod failure!

adb pull /efs is the way to do it! or maybe over shell

adb shell

su

cp /efs /sdcard

exit
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Thank-you borky and Julius, can you guys give me the exact command line to put in.I know in the cmd to navigate to where my sdk tools are but km totally unfamiliar with adb commands I only know the couple I learned from borky but I'm trying,thanks once again
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
i forgot about non root user! with shell! :O

adb shell

dd if=/efs of=/sdcard

exit

;)
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Thanks borky that's for windows?
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
this is not os specific! ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] liquidini:
hello

thanks for the auto tool :)

but i have a little problem.

i have the same permision problem with windows seven 64x

i have installed your drivers from the auto root tool and i run the script as admin.

the rom is the official one and the phone is rooted.

any help please :)
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
I to have 64 bit, you'll have to move the missing adb file that the program tells you that's missing and after you move it into the folder you have everything unzipped it will work like a charm

adbwindll or adbwindll one of those two or something very close to that
[Nexus S Android Development] liquidini:
thanks for the info but i have already done it.

the problem is something with permisions.

i will try to install the sdk now

Did the batch file & manual pull but I can't find the complete backup files, didn't find one in that folder nor in the script folder. I found it in C:\Users\XXXX\

but it's only 6 files, I remember it pulled 10 files..where are the rest?

****

I moved the the folder to C:\efsbackup_windows2.0 and run it again, this time everything is there.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Got my phone back from Regenersis today with the IMEI restored! (after I'd wiped the efs folder with no backup!)
[Nexus S Android Development] bl@ckadder:
I'm unable to backup the EFS folder using your tool or manually via 'adb pull /efs'. I keep getting 'permission denied'. Using GB stock 2.3.4, rooted with your 1-Click tool.

What do I do now? I'm reluctant to flash a custom ROM until I know that the folder is safe.
