[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cg 112358:
there is no way to root...there have been SEVERAL threads stating this! also there is no way to downgrade on your own....you would have to bring it into a sprint store to do so
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interloper:
Since the update went ota the devs have been working on this. It won't take long.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbug2008:
They can't do it at the sprint store either. If it is s-on with 2.3. They have the same RUU that we do and it does not work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can't root or downgrade the OTA yet, so for now, you have to just wait.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snake411:
i found this

http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...mple-sdk-setup-manual-root-guide-windows.html

it doesnt seem to be working thou...you guys tried that? any idea if unrevoked is going to make a new root?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Nope, not yet for the Evo. Unrevoked will make a new version, once they get root, and you'll know, because it'll be plastered all over the forums.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BlameItOnTheBoogie:
I rooted my g2x and froze a bunch of apps including the stock launcher and the stock keyboard (installed golauncher and swiftkey x beta). Just recently I've been getting the wifi disabled problem even though I've had the phone for almost two months now. So, I decided to factory reset my device to see if that would help. The problem is that the stock keyboard and launcher didn't unfreeze with the reset and I can't re-setup my phone. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
Err.. did you do a nandroid backup before? I made the mistake of freezing the launcher before I had reinstalled a different one... bad news... wiped and reflashed and it was fine... you said yours stayed frozen? That is no good... hopefully you have a backup from before stuff was frozen...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
You can dload the stock nandroids from the dev section and flash those, they are complete backups of factory rom.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
the update was crap with some okay kinda cool features, but it sucks completely. They just dont care too much about it. I mean, Twitter apps are more popular for android then Facebook, and I only know 2 people that use that social thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
The new update messes up notifications for me. Every time I use facebook chat or message, I get a notification "you have one new message," and when you tap on it it doesn't bring you to the message. This is very annoying because if I'm on the website chatting, I'll get multiple notifications to my phone that I got a new message even though I'm not signed onto chat on my phone. I reverted back to the older version.

I'm seeing alot of bugs with this update myself. Uploading videos is nice, the mobile site feel is nice, but the status update page always reloads and never just stays put. I have to switch over to my profile if I want to update my status. I thought maybe it was a fluke and even tried clearing the app data and then uninstalling and reinstalling the app, no luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] msage:


Where did you find the older version? I don't see the usual "uninstall updates" button in the marketplace, just says "uninstall". Probably something so simple that I'm missing but help would be appreciated!

Could someone make a baseband update to support all 3g bands. I realised the optimus 2x until now has had this. Can someone update the radio to support 850/900/1700/1900/2100 bands so international users can fully enjoy without the data messing up. Uk runs on 2100 but still sometimes my connection times out in data every 5 Minuets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
Not possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SiliconBug:
I wonder this should be a basic question for a ROM developer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhantomRampage:
Messing with the baseband is too dangerous and can brick a phone instantly if something's wrong with the programming.

Sorry man, no one's gonna do it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] webstar1:
Thing is, I have never messed with baseband before so im a noob about that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
yeah

I have not seen anyone modify a baseband , no source, and i just figured it was locked and couldnt be decompiled since i never saw anyone even attempt it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] webstar1:
It would expand the capabilities of our phone and allow us to truly run any network. It would also make our phone more valuable to be honest.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nospin:
Does the g2x have the hardware for that? Network capability is based on hardware. Hence why tmobile phones will never get 3g on

At&t, they just don't have the ability to. No amount of software twiddling can change that.

Sent from my T-mobile G2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
The phone supposedly supports all bands, just as the O2x according to T-Mobile and the FCC. Shortly after its release we learned T-Mobile locked it down until the AT&T merger goes through.

A carrier in Canada is releasing a version of the G2x. Perhaps it will not have the baselands locked like T-Mobile has it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeeperOfThePizza:
I've been testing my Speeds with the Speedtest.net App found in Android Market.. I've noticed lately my Ping has been between 97-1500ms.. It's never been like that. I'm not sure if I should be worried? I live near Boston so I do use the Boston server to ping. Another thing is if i go to the speedtest.net website on my phone and do the speedtest there it says I'm in Wilson, NC? not sure about this but I've attached a photo of the proof.. I've done a lot of tests.. Odd thing is my speed is great. On some of the tests It does show that I'm getting 8-10Mbps. (The list is so long you cant see it)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senser1080:
It does the same thing with me, I have traced it to my APN settings, depending which one I choose I will either get high ping and great speeds or low ping and decent speeds.

[EVO 4G General] Fazulka:
I'm not a developer so no one will care that I am sticking around!

I want to wait for the nexus 3. The 3D sounds cool, dual core is much more powerful, but right now there are no apps that don't run well on the EVO that I need the extra power for. I had the Hero before the EVO and that needed to go, most apps didn't run well or at all. When the EVO is unable to run things, then it will get replaced.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
If more people had your logic then the world would be a much better place.
[EVO 4G General] bluefire808:
I agree. I just bought 2x 1900Mah batts for my evo that fit in the stock door. Its good for another year. I mean are you kidding me?! The evo 4g is da ****! 3D is bad ass i aint gunna lie but there will be something amazing and new every 6 months. Or every month is seems like right now. I cant afford all the latest so i plan my purchases well and wait for my 2yr upgrades. Oh but i did cave and get the galaxy tab 10.1 that just came out so i can lay in bed and play online and stuff instead of sitting at the comp. I still love my evo like the day it came out. Still amazed how far trchknolegy ( how ever its spelled lol ) has come. I remember my nokia 5150 that had snake and a entenna and battery that had flshing lights like christmas! Hahahaha. Love my evo :-)

waiting around a bit longer...was close to pulling the trigger yesterday then went to best buy to play with one, tbh, i wasnt impressed...its nice, the best thing i did like about it was how its not as wide in my hand, fits nicer now...its very responsive, no lag...but the 3D thing i can live without...

i came from the hero to evo...major upgrade....evo to evo3D isnt a major upgrade for me...will wait and see wat else is in the works for now...

[EVO 4G General] Newklearx3:
IMO half the people here dont wanna get the E3D because they don't have the money. If you had the money and bought one, or if one was givin to you. You would be ranting about how much better it is then the evo. But since most dont have $230 to fork up, getting on xda and agreeing with everyone else that they don't need to upgrade makes them feel warm inside. Sure you can trade your evo in for credit , allowing the E3D to be much cheaper. That's when fear of change comes into play. Or I don't need 3D blah blah blah.

[EVO 4G General] spider2346:
To me personally it's not even about the $$.. I can go out right now and pick it up, will I? Absolutely not :)

I never liked the out of the box bloated "sense" experience Sprint provides, it's my phone I should have the option to add/remove anything I choose. My Evo runs flawlessly on CM7, it's customized to my liking not to Sprints, so to give all that up for a phone that is filled with junk apps just because its "BRAND NEW" is not a wise option for me.

My Evo is fast, stable, reliable and junk free!! I'll wait till next year!
[EVO 4G General] Newklearx3:
How am I a troll? stfu.

Also, it wont be long until the bootloader is unlocked and we have root and all the junk is gone.

Anyways, with that being said. I get my E3D in two days. I'll also keep my evo. If this phone doesn't shape up to what I expect. I'll return it.

It is that simple :D

This is kind of like if you drive a Toyota Camry and in a year Toyota comes out with a Better Lexus which has 2x the horsepower and many other awesome goodies. All you have to do is pay a small fee to trade in. But na , you dont want that Lexus I mean even though its pretty much the same car but 20 times better , your Camry runs fine who cares right?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Going along with your flawed analogy; what if a better / if not comparable model is due around the corner? Why not hold out? Some of us aren't feeling the need to just jump right on the next best thing.

Sweet phone? Yeah, it actually is. Feels really nice in the hands. I've been tempted, but I'm also not going to buy it until root is achieved. Yeah, we know it will be.

To assume that the only reason people haven't picked one up is because of that single reason, well, no. Was kind of a stupid comment. But that's ok, nothing really wrong with it. Just isn't true. :)
[EVO 4G General] cg 112358:
to me its not about the money. i dont feel the need to go out and get a new phone right now. I am very content with my Evo. It's kinda along the same lines as this mantra: "Why fix it if it ain't broke?" i.e. Why upgrade if you're content with your phone?

I might upgrade when my 2yr upgrade is ready....might go for whatever new android phone is out then
[EVO 4G General] gmfeny:
Dual core processors are the **** right now. LOL if u don't got one its like pulling out a flip phone. I still got my EVO tho I was gonna sell it but I'll wait til the 3d gets rooted. I still need to try out all the new ROMs and MIUI every week.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Lmfao truth
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
That analogy is very wrong, dual core phones is exciting to nerds, regular people are just cool with a smartphone period. Now if you said smartphones are the phone to have, if you have a flip phone you are behind, that's more fair.
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
ITT: People who have no idea they could have reset their upgrades for free and get the 3D for $50 bucks.

Most of the top devs have the new phone. You don't. Do the math.

Have fun with your single core and ****ty gpu. And for those that say it wont be unlocked.. keep telling yourself your phone is still better.

Evo 3d

Spring bought my eve for $150,which I only had to pay $64 after tax.I am very satisfied.
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Yes most devs will now begin to focus on developing for the Evo 3D. By definition their stuff will need to work on an Evo 3D but they will probably continue to be mindful of not unnecessarily breaking things on the OG Evo in the process.

The last few weeks have probably been the great golden age of the Evo 4G. It's now a year old, thoroughly understood, and the dev community is still completely engaged with it especially in the absence (until yesterday) of a direct successor. The number of interesting and mature ROMs and themes that work well on the Evo 4G has never been higher.

It's a fair question to ask if it is just now peaking.

Even if this is "Peak Evo" , there is going to be a nice long afterglow. The phone is strong enough to run the interesting parts of Sense 3.0 and Rosie 3.0 - Synergy is proving this already - so that will buy it several more months of relevance. Enjoy this time. There will be plenty of good stuff to flash through the rest of 2011 I am quite sure.
[EVO 4G General] xchompondizx:
Thanks for the great insight bro
[EVO 4G General] Newklearx3:
I'm just saying. I'm one of those people who need what ever is knew. I don't complain that my current phone is awesome or that something better might come about. I just buy what ever is knew and amazing and if something better comes out a couple months after that I'll buy it too. That's all, I'm sick of people *****ing about all this. To each is own.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Top devs are not us, so we really don't have to be a trolled out geek like yourself and have to jump on the newest version, it's called having a gf or wife. HAVE FUN WITH YOUR HAND AND YOUR 3D EVO TO WATCH 3D PORN WITH.

I just got back from the sprint store. After playing with the Evo 3D for about 10 minutes, comparing it to my Evo running MikG 2.01, and the nexus s beside it; I will not be getting it. Here's why:

There's just nothing that really stands out about it that sets it apart from the competition, to me at least. I don't really care for the 3D. I have to admit, it was really cool and it does a great job of showing depth in pictures. But you literally have to be directly in front of the screen or else it will look distorted. Like there is a one degree viewing angle on that **** and sorry, but that will get on my nerves.

I know there's the whole "you can just not use the 3D" argument. Well yea, but then what's so good about it? The screen is brighter, has more accurate colors, and of course has a higher resolution than the og Evo. But compared to other phones, not impressive. The Nexus S beside it completely blew it away and god knows how much better the Galaxy S II will look.

It is fast, don't get me wrong. But again, the Nexus S seemed just as fast if not even faster, and that's running on a year old single core processor.

It's also bigger than the Evo, slightly taller and thicker. And I'm not sure if it was because it was a demo floor model, but the touch screen wasn't very responsive and the phone in general seemed to have some bugs and general **** ups.

It just didn't impress me like the original Evo did when it first came out. I'm not sure what else will come out before my upgrade in August, but right now it's lookin like I'll end up with whatever the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy S II is called. I'm not the hugest fan of TouchWiz, but the phone itself is just incredible. The screen, the thinness of the phone, the simple/clean looks, and the processor just make it very appealing.

I will probably get the E3D, but only when they have gotten the bootloader cracked or unlocked by HTC. I have too much fun with my phone to loose the ability to switch ROMs and kernels and stuff. I know it will happen eventually, but I hate waiting for things :D And I really don't want to be stuck on a stock Sense build for a while.
