[HTC EVO 3D] birdpwr:
So, I had my pre-order with BB for aut 3 weeks. When I placed the pre, I explained to the rep that I was doing the 1 year upgrade. So, yesterday, I was back and forth from BB and the Sprint store because of the buy back thing. Long story short, you have to had to bought into the BB buy back program, whereas Sprint was buying OG EVO's for $150, no questons asked.

So here was my problem:

I went into the BB store this morning to get my phone @ 8am. (I was #2 on the list!) So, the rep pulls out my phone(at which time I'm like a kid at Christmas!), proceeded with the paperwork. Then goes to the computer to pull my information, calls over a manager, who says to me,

"Sir, are you part of Sprint's Premiere program?"

Me: "Huh?"

Him: "Apparently you're trying to do an early upgrade and we don't do early upgrades."

Me: "Whyin the hell wasn't I told this at the time of me pre-ordering?"

Him: "I don't know, but they should have checked to see if you were eligible. You'll have to pay to full retail price for the phone....wait, let us see if one of our other locations do early upgrades........they do for $399."

Me: "Oh nawl. Gimme my money back please. I'm going across the street to the Sprint store."

So, they refunded my gift card, I went across the street @ around 8:30, waslked in the lively Sprint store and was greeted by the prettiest woman I have seen with "We have the EVO 3D! Wanna get one today?" I said, "Yes, only because of you." I walked out of there with OG EVO, walked out with E3D for the same $50 I used on my pre with BB. All in less than 30 minutes!
[HTC EVO 3D] Axe-08:
What about a phone number?
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapSilicon:
what phone number you want?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Not even sure what you mean by early upgrade? As long as your upgrade shows up on your account then that is what you are eligible for. It doesn't matter if it was early or not......
[HTC EVO 3D] Axe-08:
I was asking if he got her number. But OP, glad you got your EVO3d!
[HTC EVO 3D] birdpwr:
Yes, she gave me her number without me even asking for it. lol. Told me to call her as I was leaving the store! So I got 2 things I wanted! LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] gqstatus0685:
Was her ass worthy of a human sacrifice?

I call BS on the number but glad you got your EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I work for Best Buy, sorry to hear about your experience. We don't do early upgrades throughout all of Best Buy Mobile. Again, I'm sorry that the rep misinformed you, but I'm glad you got the E3D though!
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
never had any troubles with BB's preorder's
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
You probably never tried to do a 1yr upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] Kermagod:
Hello All,

I've recently posted two apps on the Android Market.

They are both attached at the bottom of this post to download and they are:

Android Community Quiz

Market Link

- A quiz by Android users for Android users, where questions can be constantly added by Android users with the "Android Community Quiz Master" app.

+2 for a correct answer

-3 for an incorrect answer (or running out of time)

-2 for using a skip (5 skips allowed)

Android Community Quiz Master

Market Link

- an app that allows you to add questions into the "Android Community Quiz" app.

You simply enter questions with a correct answer and two incorrect answers and then click submit. (Please refrain from profanity or anything else that others may find offensive.)

I've attached the apps below, but they are also available on the Android market for a small donation/fee.

Please let me know what you think, good or bad, or if you have any ideas on how I can make them better, please let me know.

Thanks,

Just Me/Kermagod
[Android Apps and Games] Kermagod:
I've changed the names of the apps on the market.

They are now:

Quiz - Android Community Quiz

And

AC Quiz Master.
[Android Apps and Games] Jmoney47:
Well, it is a cool idea. However there are a total of ten questions, and I think two are about android. Also, I don't think it should constantly loop through the questions, it probably should end when you run out of questions.
[Android Apps and Games] Kermagod:
Thanks for your feedback.

The whole concept was that users could enter questions themselves in the "AC Quiz Master" app , these questions then become instantly available for other users doing the quiz but, either people don't realise this or they don't find it as much fun as I hoped they would.

I was thinking the same thing about the looping questions and will do this at some point this week. I've already set it so that you only answer each question once per loop, so it shouldn't be hard to implement.

My idea going forward was that when there were a lot of questions, if you get above certain score levels, the time limited reduces.

Any other ideas/improvements welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] orb3000:
Developer is including his 2 applications for free ONLY to XDA members, that is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Kermagod:
To all, please leave feedback positive or negative.

I noticed the apps weren't working because of a question that was submitted by a user, it's fixed now, so please feel free to add/answer questions again.

Thanks,

Just Me/Kermagod.
[Android Apps and Games] Prodigy:
LOL, interesting! Nice job! Haha. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Kermagod:
Does anybody have TinyWebDB experience

Okay. I now understand why the app failed.

There is a maximum amount of characters that can be entered into each value field (eg. Questions).

The way I have built the app in App Inventor means that each question is built into the same value and indexed, but now the total characters are over the limit of 500.

Hope that makes sense. Does anybody know a way around this?

Update: May have found the answer. I'll have a look when I get home from work.....

-Please don't add any questions for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] Kermagod:
Feel free to add as many questions as you like. I've managed to sort out the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] hmose:
Looking for the Free version

Where does XDA member download the free version??
[Android Apps and Games] Kermagod:
A few people have been confused by this now, so I've edited the post slightly to make it clearer.

You'll find them at the bottom of the first post.

P.s. To all, don't forget to leave feedback positive or negative. All ideas/suggestions are welcome. PM me or leave a message on the thread.

Also, add as many questions as you like.

Thanks,

Just Me/Kermagod.
[Android Apps and Games] Kermagod:
Not as popular as I'd hoped (i.e. Nobody submitting questions). Oh well, back to the drawing board.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
Why is my tethered speed so much slower than the results of speed tests on the phone?

With speedtest.net app, I get between 4 and 8 mb/s. With mobilespeedtest.com, I get around 18 mb/s. When tethered, I rarely go above 2 mb/s. What's the deal?

I'm running CM7 56 but it was the same on the stock rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
also noticed

when using as a hotspot its much slower. but running with usb tether its not .

wierd must be the way the radio works.

But yeah i have seen that also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
Thanks I'll give that a shot, but I'm not sure that's it. When I had my HD2, I would be tethered to it with my laptop over wifi and I remember downloading torrents around 500mB/s which is around 4 mb/s..

What driver do I need to tether over USB?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
not sure

all i have is the drivers for the usb installed on win 7

im still on stock and just using the stock that is in the settings.

they havent said anything yet about it either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
Which driver is that? The native Win 7 driver or an LG driver?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
lg driver

but i didnt try it before i installed that.

try it without and see if it works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
When I click "Enable USB Tethering", it gives me a blue screen.

Win 7 Ultimate x64.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
USB tethering only works on froyo until LG releases updated drivers.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonnyboyca:
Why not just use the google wifi tether app? it's fast

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
[T-Mobile LG G2x] locust43:
Mobilespeedtest.com is BS. The mobile phone itself isn't even capable of 18Mbit/s, its only an HSPA 14.4 radio. A Qualcomm MDM6200
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
I heard CM7 unlocked it to 21, but regardless, I don't trust that site either. Just posted it for reference.

Like I said, on the HD2 I would get 4mb/s while tethered so why am I getting such poor speeds on the g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
My phones internet speeds are faster/better than all the free Wi-Fi places I have used except hotels.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] carquote:
I have a question regarding switching between my original battery and a spare battery. Since the phone calibrates with the battery stats how does then switching to a spare battery and charging and using that battery for a while work? How does the phone handle having 2 different batteries switched and knowing what the proper capacity is for each battery. When I first charge the new spare battery I'm concerned that the phone will think it has the original battery that is properly calibrated and will not charge the new spare battery properly and to it's full capacity for some reason. I'm not sure if I'm just over thinking this ( I have a tendency to do that :p) or if this is a real concern.

As far as storing the battery that's not in use, I've read Li-ion batteries store best when at 20% charge. How are most users handling the storing of the battery that's not in use?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] carquote:
Anyone?? Surely there are users here who switch between 2 batteries.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] carquote:
Bump....Still waiting for an answer and or advice.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] revwillie:
I don't know about anyone else, but here's my experience.

I bought two aftermarket 1500mah batteries and external wall chargers from dealextreme.com. So I have three batteries total and I can be charging all three simultaneously if the phone is used as the third charger.

I normally have one battery in one charger at home and a second battery in the other charger at my office while I'm using the third battery. I can easily make it through a busy day at work on one battery and I'll swap before I leave for home. Depending on how heavily I use my phone at home, I'll swap batteries again before bed or before I leave for work the next morning. On weekends or when I know I'll be away from chargers for most of a day, I'll bring one charged battery in my pocket and swap if needed. I've never needed a second spare.

So I regularly carry fully charged batteries in pockets at body temperature and I don't take special precautions when charging or using batteries. I don't recalibrate the battery stats in my G2 either. I should note that I don't overclock the CPU. I usually turn GPS off if I am not using it but I often leave wifi and BT on. If I'm using google navigation, I try to have the phone plugged into a car charger because the GPS and the screen on constantly _will_ drain a battery in a couple of hours.

1500mah battery and charger for $8
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] octobclrnts:
Seems like a pretty nice deal to me. And the free shipping makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I hate when shipping costs as much or more than something I want to buy.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] revwillie:
Free=good. But note that shipping takes about a month to the east coast.

I'm considering getting Evo Shift 1800mah batteries from there since they are 5-6 bucks each with free shipping. Even if they are crap, it's cheap to try them out.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
I had a total of 4 batteries swapping them out all the time. The only downfall I saw to doing this was my alarms getting out of wack sometimes, alarms that I had going on every day like for a break at work, clocking in, lunch etc... and also I had to setup my clock everytime I popped a new battery in.

U want to know what's better then doing this? 3600mah mugen by far. I get 2-3.5 days out of it. Cheap 1500mah batteries I swapped once every 18 hours or so.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
Ps: I tryed a stock htc evo battery also. I hardly noticed a difference. Not worth it unless it is free (like it was for me).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jankrix:
interesting enough that you guys have have problem with clock. I have Yaobao 1500mah battery which was built for HTC mozart but fit just fine in Z, I did not have such problem but the price a bit expensive than other OEM, around $20 if converted to USD from Indonesian Rupiah.

Swapping is easy, while if I'm using the Yaobao battery the battery door might have a bit of gap prior to closure
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] revwillie:
Perhaps I don't understand the use case for your alarms. I put events in google calendar with reminders. Those sync automatically with my phone and the internal clock in my phone is set from Tmo's network. I personally hate the alarm clock app.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
I said alarms, I meant google calender. The reminders would go off all the time. 30 minutes late, 2 hours late, 63.5 minutes late... it was freaking weird.

Also alarms... while switching batteries my alarm didn't go off in the morning for work 3 times in a two month or so period.

And about the time, I also had it auto sync'd but a lot of the time it would take a long time to finally sync... once i popped a battery in at night and even by the next morning the time still hadn't sync'd.

Good luck, but I would never go back to switching batteries..
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gyromanx55:
How is this battery? I don't see any reviews for it..

Is it safe to put in my Desire Z? I saw Evo ones but i don't wanna sand it down and all that.

Is this one good? I'd appreciate if any owner, more than one, had it and could share.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
They should fit perfect. I got 3 batteries and 3 chargers for 20 bucks shipped. They were alright.. but the oem ones did last a little bit longer.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] wilnotdie:
Wow Mog. I've never experianced thoes problems, with clock sync, before. I don't have too many reminders set. Mostly birthdays and special events. I do have one that's set to go off once a day, M-F, and its always went off at the scheduled time.

That us weird. I've been switching batteries almost since the phone came out. Started with 2 chichi + stock, for about 2 months, but didn't like the fit of them. Since than, I've been using 2 stock batteries, with one sitting in my pocket.

Actually switched batteries about 5 hrs ago, before I went to sleep, and at 5:30am on the dot, my alarm went off...than shortly after that, at 6:15am, my backup alarm went off.

That must suck.

I got rid of the personalize button by using LauncherPro. I really like having the extra shortcuts across the bottom of the screen. The 3D app drawer is pretty cool too.

I couldn't agree more I'm pretty partial to the internet shortcut. My INC1 was rooted and i was running IncRom 1.6 before upgrading to the INC 2. Very pleased with it just hope to see that rom for this incredible as well it was clean as hell n virtually no bugs. Now I'm just waiting for my skull n crossbones so I can start playing with this new toy :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lstarr:
just looking forward to having the ability to flash roms period. I'm also hoping there will be a miui port at some point.

Looking forward to doing my first root and experiencing all the capabilities once rooted. And of course removing all that bloatware.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gdi2290:
Support for HTCsense.com aka HTC Hub would be nice. I wouldn't mind having a swype HTC keyboard as well as the percent in my battery notification bar. Setcpu, wireless tether, remove bloatware, block permissions, adfree, and the famous tv off animation.

I might have a stupid question, but nevertheless, where is the 4gb rom? I see that I have about 800mb ram and 1gb for storage plus the sd card, but where is the 4gb rom? Thanks.

That would be your 1gb. The system ate up a lot of it.

[HTC EVO 3D] rkb6581:
So what you guys are saying is that I still need to move apps to the SD card? That's interesting. Its like the 4gig doesn't even matter. I must say that while I do like how everything is, I really don't use any of the widgets. Is there any way to clear them out without root?
[HTC EVO 3D] darkflame:
3GB reserved for weather animations. hehehe
[HTC EVO 3D] jaydeebee24:
Your saying 1gb of space isn't enough space for your apps? Impossible. Moving them to the SD card is completely unnecessary unless you have like 400 apps.

[Acer Iconia A500] Deltaechoe:
As the title states, do we have a way to get hardware acceleration on adobe flash. I hate staring at terrible framerates on HD YouTube via their website and stuttering along on other video streaming sites. This is a dual core device, my phone shouldn't be outperforming it.
[Acer Iconia A500] trothmaster:
agreed, I thought 3.1 honeycomb was supposed to include support for hardware accelerated flash. Sadly any flash video 720p or higher runs real slow on 3.1. Including amazon video on demand and YouTube....
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
So 3.1 is not the holy grail of bug fixes everyone here is making it out to be... well who'd have thought?

Youtube performance

Works great on my a500 using honeycomb Youtube app - works just as well via stock browser on the web site.

What browser are you using to try to play video? Does HD video play in the native youtube app but not in your browser?
[Acer Iconia A500] Glebaka:
i think youtube app plays html5 ,not flash video

Ridicolous pixellated videos.

So, I'm not the only stupid guy who's having that ridicolous streaming video quality!

I was asking in the primee rom thread but everybody had ignored me, same thing in the acertabletforum.com thread, and in the facebook page to support the unlocked bootloader (where I was teased as an idiot).

Youtube has some pixellated video, both in the dedicated app and in the website.

Same issue for all other kind of streamed video.

What we have to wait? Is that a Tegra2 issue? My Galaxy S and my Iphone 4 have not this ridicolous video quality...So, who's the guilty? -.-

Google promised hardware acceleration with the 3.1 update...but it seems something gone wrong.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Iphone doesn't support Flash so either you're talking about HTML5 or you've just figured it out how to watch flash movies on iGear. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] klubmix:
"Youtube has some pixellated video, both in the dedicated app and in the website.

Same issue for all other kind of streamed video."

Maybe you're forgotting this...I was talking about every kind of streamed video, not only a flashplayer based video.

And, you'll know for sure, some Cydia tweaks and Puffin browser, let see flash video in an iOS device.
[Acer Iconia A500] trothmaster:
i just figured out if you use a rom with an updated kernel to 2.6.36.4....the last 4 being the key flash hardware acceleration works great. At least on 720p.

Shake to Skip (toggle on/off)

allow to filter music files (min. size)

Miui Con's:​

Cant seem to find no equlisser

sometimes splits albums into 5-6 diffrent albums with only few tracks in

Battery life but got to be expected with lyrics on and album art
