[HTC Sensation] dazz29:
The Sensation doesn't have brilliant WiFi reception and can't hold on to a weak signal if you hold the device, whereas something like a laptop could.

But with a good signal it does work well and for me that's a fair trade off at present. Yes it could be better, but is there a perfect device.

Typing this in Starbucks at present over WiFi and yes in landscape, and I even have my fingers covering the back of the device :)

Full signal strength. Same at home.

I tried this in another Starbucks, I lost connection every time in landscape mode, returned in portrait, that has been the only time that I could recreate this death grip issue.....
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
I've seen a few issues lately with the Cisco/Linksys E1000 routers and wifi. 3 out of the 5 i installed in the past 6 months kept dropping wifi,even right next to it. Probably not what you have, but just in case, i thought i would mention it. At $50-$60 they've been a popular model lately.
[HTC Sensation] larry2513:
I am using a netgear n router and I still have signal in the basement and second floor (router is on the first floor)..I haven't noticed any WiFi problems but I have only had the phone 3 days...but I use WiFi calling all the time..

Sensation/G2x Best of Both Worlds
[HTC Sensation] ashasaur:
Stop posting threads about this. The Sensation has an alleged WiFi problem. We get it. Unless you have a LEGIT fix for it, don't post about it.

SHIELDS UP!

RED ALERT!

Thread CLOSED. K'PLAH!
[EVO 4G General] cesjr02:
I finally had a chance to check out the Evo 3D in store. For those who still haven't had a chance I thought I'd share some thoughts.

One of the first things I did was open up the gallery and check out the 3D photos. The 3D effect works very well. It seemed to have an inward depth, nothing jumps out at you. As many reviewers said before there's definitely a "sweet spot" where the 3D works. I found that if I moved my head only slightly to one angle or distance the effect was diminished. You definitely couldn't show off 3D photos to a group of people standing around you. After a short while viewing the 3D images I felt that I had to strain my eyes and almost concentrate to view them properly. Not everyone's eyes are the same so maybe your experience will differ.

The 3D is definitely faster than the 4G in every way. However, it's interesting to note that I compared the 3D to a Nexus S side by side. The Nexus S actually felt and looked more fluid while scrolling through menus and screens. Whereas the 3D had a slight jerkiness to the movement. I'm guessing this is caused by the animation heavy Sense 3.0 transitions. I imagine if you put stock Gingerbread on the 3D it would be much smoother.

All in all it's a good phone. For those who want the novelty of 3D then this is an obvious choice. For me, I think I'll pass and see what's around the corner.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
Ditto.

I checked out the 3D yesterday at my local Sprint store and agree with everything that you said. The 3D is pretty cool, but seems like a huge gimmick. The phone is amazingly fast. I really didn't notice the jerkyness that you were experiencing but I only compared it to my EVO. I am also waiting to see what comes around the corner in July before I make a jump.
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
Agree, played with one for an hour on launch day, and couldn't pull the trigger. Thought the 3D was awesome, but wouldn't use it all that much. Speed was noticeably faster and even felt more powerful, but I'm waiting for a slimmer OS, hopefully the Nexus Prime.
[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
agreed, the 3d also hurts my eyes a bit. but, imagine how exciting itll be when full 3d roms are flashed onto that beast?
[EVO 4G General] teejay89:
Haven't checked it out, but I'm happy enough with my Evo that I'm probably going to wait for the Nexus Prime as well. I prefer AOSP anyway.
[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
This, or the Samsung galaxy s 2
[EVO 4G General] lvav06:
I agree, the 3d is a gimmick, I felt that 1 the 3d is limited in usage on te phone and 2 if i look at it long enough, I will get a headache. plus it appears the 3d pioc can only be viewed in landscape mode.
[EVO 4G General] mrpickem:
Not a big Sammy fan, but gotta give the SII a go if it outs soon as expected. :)
[EVO 4G General] someonenewhere:
I stayed with the EVO 4G because I knew the EVO 3D was a huge gimmick IMO..

Plus I didn't like the fact that it came with a weak 5 MP camera...

I'll wait for the Evo 4G+ with 8mp cam and dual core.....
[EVO 4G General] runcool:
A NOTE TO EVERYONE THAT SAID it hurts their eyes after a while.... if your vision is NOT 20/20. MEANING if both eyes are not exactly the same... it will hurt your eyes. so for example, 20/15 or 20/30 30/20. blahblahblah. DO NOT buy a 3D phone. it's pointless to you. idk if glasses would help you guys out. but having your eyes corrected MIGHT help. but that's costly.
[EVO 4G General] cesjr02:
Info source? It's easy to blame someone's eyes and not the technology. I have perfect sight and still felt it a little straining. Nothing I couldn't handle but it's not something I'd want to watch a full length movie on either.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I said the same thing before I purchased it. The 3D is no gimmick its additional badassery. Thats all I been doing is recording 720p 3D and taking 3D pics. YouTube videos in 3D are freaking sweet. The adreno 220 gpu plays games and handles graphics better than any device out there. 3D games are jaw dropping. I believe the 3D will be the best phone on the market until 2012 based on the 2011 line up I've seen. I will say i like the design on my og EVO way better; why htc put the charger port together with hdmi idk, I HATE how its on the left of the phone and not bottom. That's easily the biggest fail imo. Effin cord gets in way so prepare to be annoyed if you wanna use the phone while its plugged. Not to mention I wish it was flush all around like evo; camera button and 2D/3D slider is lame. That alone fcuks up the design...

I have the worst vision on here probably 20/200 and 3D doesn't bother me one bit after first time.
[EVO 4G General] EvoSideHustlAZ:
Lmao
[EVO 4G General] EvoSideHustlAZ:
EVO 4g is 3vo fat sister lol..the shooter the life of the party ha.
[EVO 4G General] Mike Fitz:
I don't take a lot of pics or record much video with a phone, and don't play games on it. No reason for 3D.

I didn't buy one because:

~No kickstand. I use mine on my desk at work and at home.

~No landscape mode for the homescreen/app drawer. Don't know the reasoning for that.

~Charge port/USB port on the side- even with a kickstand case it's major fail.

~External buttons sticking out for 3D and camera- at least recess them!

~Dual cameras on the back, more to smudge up with fingerprints, looks funky.

I'll wait for something else to come out before using my upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
I agree 100% with the original poster. I don't really care for the 3D part, I also noticed the extremely narrow viewing angles and I felt like I was straining my eyes to focus on it. I'm actually not a big fan of the camera button simply because it makes the picture blurrier when I try to press it. Instead of just a light simple tap on the screen, I have to exert pressure on the button which makes my hand slightly shaky and then the photo doesn't come out as well. But I guess it probably also has a button you can tap on the screen so that rant was pointless lol.

They had a Nexus S next to the Evo 3D at my store too. I also noticed how the Nexus S seemed almost more fluid and faster than the 3D. I was comparing the 3D right next to my Evo as well, and it definitely was a lot faster. But other than the upgraded internals nothing really stands out to me. The screen is again better than the Evo's but still lacking in comparison to others (Nexus S, GS II). But nothing just jumps out at me like how the original Evo did.

I am waiting for the Galaxy S II to come to sprint. I'm just sold on that phone. Super skinny, very professional looks, screen is absolutely gorgeous, and samsung has continually shown that their hardware is second to none. I feel like TouchWiz doesn't have as much bloat as Sense does (even though I love Sense widgets) and I hate the Sense launcher. TouchWiz has exactly what I want in the launcher, apps messaging phone and internet.
[EVO 4G General] bparvin:
I have the 4g and I got my wife the 3D.

I have to say the 3D is awesome. The pics are cool and we enjoy them. We have a 16 month old son that we take a ton of pictures of and the 3D ones are nice to have.

As for the rest of the phone, it is blazing fast. Zero lag for me. You click something and its instant. Even the gallery is speedy.

I am running the last MikG ROM and you can easily tell the difference in speed.

Also camera quality is way better on the 3D than the 4G even it is 5MP vs. 8MP. The lens is better and it handles low light situations a billion times better.

I am personally trying to hold out for the next Nexus phone for Sprint (hoping it will be this Christmas season) but it is getting harder and harder every day.
[EVO 4G General] barats:
I'm not using my upgrade on this phone at all. Seems like basically the same phone, only they threw a gimmick in there. 3D and Shift are both gimmick versions of the original. I'll pass.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
This is total BS. I have perfect vision 20/20 from lasik surgery 5 months ago, just went back into the office for my checkup and still at 20/20 vision. It still strained my eyes to look at it for any length of time.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Off topic:

Thats crazy you say that, my vision is very poor, near sight in left eye, far sight in right eye. Its a pain lol, w/o glasses or contacts and the two come together talk about freaking migraines from hell. Im getting a lasik consultation in two weeks. Could you give me your input on it? Hows your vision treating you, are your eyes extremely light sensitive now? My friend says he cant go outside without shades because his eyes after surgery are really sensitive to the sun. My vison is bad but the 3D doesnt hurt my eyes though....hmmm weird. Some of the stock 3D pics that come on the phone did hurt a bit lol.
[EVO 4G General] Clouded:
They are correct this is bs, what you are TRYING to say is that EACH eye must be the same. 20/20 is only a measurement for what doctors believe a normal human eye should be able to read at 20 feet, or 6/6 meters for you English types. So you mean EACH eye should be the SAME not necessarily 20/20. Anyway if its known to cause even some eye strain, I'm not buying it, don't need to mess up my eyes anymore than they are since I'd be staring at that screen for at least the next year.
[EVO 4G General] :
A few more notes on my experience. The 3D felt much lighter than my 4G. I'm too lazy to google the specs so I'm not sure how much of a weight difference it is, but it was surprisingly lighter. Even with Sprint's anti-theft holder thing glued onto the back.

I actually like the dedicated camera button. Even though it's a little big for my tastes it makes the phone feel like a camera when you're using it as one. The half-press focus is nice too.

The lack of a kickstand is definitely something I'd miss. Even on the rare occasion I use it on my 4G, it's nice to have!

The qHD screen is ok. The added resolution makes text a lot easier to read. But with the Nexus S sitting right next to the 3D the Nexus was the clear winner. Won't Samsung license their super amoled screen tech to other manufactures? The colors and contrast are amazing on the Nexus and I haven't even seen a super amoled plus screen yet!
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
I'm glad the 3D is a gimmicky phone - doesn't tempt me to upgrade at all, and I can wait for SGSII (if its ever released in the US) or Nexus Prime, both of which are going to have a gorgeous screen, just as fast, and thinner. That's what matters more to me. You simply can't compare Samsung screen tech to anyone else - its that much better.

The Evo 4G is still a monster phone and honestly its fast enough, I really don't mind waiting another 6 months. The next device has to be a major upgrade and last 1.5 years.
[EVO 4G General] :
I agree with this sentiment. While the 3D is a nice phone with specs that trump anything else available. I want a phone that's a major improvement to my 4G not just one with marginally better performance. Especially knowing that my next phone will be my phone for two years unless I buy outright.
[EVO 4G General] DSM_97_GSX:
Even if you don't like the 3D option of the device, you can still take advantage of the faster processor (both of them), more RAM, and the capability to do much more much faster than then EVO.

While the 3D picture taking may be in the infant stages, it will spawn many more devices which will improve the feature, then it can be flashed onto the 3D. :p
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
had to come back to my OLD OUTDATED phones section to chime in...20 20 vision is not perfect to inform you. Maybe julio gonzales from the handy pantry optical center didn't inform you correctly before sticking those dollar store lasers in your eyes...

edit: my brother is half blind. He can partially see out of one eye and the good eye is like an okay eye. He can not see the 3d effect. It doesn't bother him just he cant see it. Your wrong.
[EVO 4G General] rolfd:
As stated many times before. Post Evo 3d stuff in the 3d forum.

Hey guys, I've got a request for you. I would like to know if it is possible for a music searching app like Soundhound or Shazam to be modded to work with another app, specifically my mp3 downloader. If you have soundhound listen to the song, it will give you youtube links and amazon mp3 links and all that good stuff. I just want it to give me the option to search for it in my music downloading app, so that I don't have to back out of the app and manually search it every time. Is this possible, and has it already been done? Cheers!

I've been searching high and low, on the googles and on the forums for a widget like the HTC Message Widget/ Pure Messenger Widget but one that will show the last message in the conversation between myself and any other contact.

Does anyone know of one? I can't believe that there are no widgets that can accomplish this out there somewhere.

All,

I got a notification of update this morning (June 29, 2011) on my HTC EVO 4G (rooted/with netarchy toast mod) but when I tried to apply the update I get:

What do I do next? How do I get this update? Thanks! :eek: :)
[EVO 4G General] guidecca:
Anyone, anyone? Don't everyone rush down. There's room for everyone.
[EVO 4G General] mattrb:
Is your recovery old (ie not Clockworkmod 3)

Have you tried to backup your apps with titanium and just starting all over with a new updated full rom?

Have you edited the filesystem to cause the update to say this? If you edit any of the filesystem, the update fails.

You need to download a new rom and just start all over it seems.

How are we to figure things out if you dont give any background?
[EVO 4G General] ruben1221:
Try unrooting and put a stock rom and then do an update. Hope that helps

Sent from my HTC EVO phone, shouldn't we all have one? :)
[EVO 4G General] kf2m:
If you want to keep root, then you never take the update. Otherwise you will most likely lose root, and will have to wait until a Dev finds an exploit to reroot. If you want to just update the radio(s) then there are flashable updates in the Dev section that you can flash.
[EVO 4G General] guidecca:
I Think I Did/Didn't

Not sure what clockworkmod I have. I could backup app with titanium and which "full rom" would you recommend? I have netarchy-toastmod-4.3.4-cfs-havs-less-nosbc-uni installed and in zip format. I rooted the phone and applied the toastmod so I modified the stock HTC EVO 4G file system. The next comment suggests unrooting the phone and starting over. Why so much work for a "smart" phone? Any specifics would be appreciated on how to proceed.
[EVO 4G General] guidecca:
Seems to be a rule never to take an update of the original after modifying any gadget. Maybe my rooted phone is better off/more advanced without the update but I haven't found anyone that has said it yet. Since the update failed I think I have root but I will check it. My wife's unrooted phone took the update easily.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
That is why you should read, read, read a little more and when you feel comfortable with doing something to your phone, stop and keep reading. This is posted over and over and over again in this forum. Never, ever take the OTA update. As soon as the update was available, Haux had the rooted version ready to be flashed within hours.
[EVO 4G General] h77ps:
If you would like to keep the stock rom but update to the newest release you can download Rom Manager from the market and flash the newest stock rom. Quite easy and only takes a few clicks. Next time you see an update from sprint, just wait until Rom Manager gets a rooted rom of that release and go nuts. If you don't feel like dealing with Rom Manager you can manually flash the roms you find in this forum. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] bponth1:
This has worked rather well for me for the past few updates, including the most recent one:

forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/90582-guide-updating-rooted-gingerbread-without-flashing-new-rom-wiping-your-phone.html

Also, the error you see is likely due to you changing the Broadcom file in that location to enable Wifi-N speeds on your EVO. Is that something you remember doing? When installing updates, it needs the original unchanged version of "\system" files to be there to verify against, including this one.

I just went through the process, and got the same error before I remembered to change bcm4329.ko back to the original. Also, don't forget to unfreeze any bloatware if it is frozen, or it won't proceed past the verification process (as it changes "\system" files. Additionally, clearing the Davlik cache is always a good idea when updating.
[EVO 4G General] bponth1:
I forgot to mention- If I remember correctly, the instructions are elaborated on in post #44 of that page.
[EVO 4G General] guidecca:
You say a rooted version was ready to be flashed within hours.

This is what I read on Android Forums:

There is no exploit yet to allow unrevoked to root the new hboot(2.16). They will find it but how long is unknown.

You can apply the update by flashing the rooted rom and the updated radios found here: [ROM][STOCK] 4.24.651.1 - Odexed & De-Odexed - xda-developers and here: [ Radios ][ 6-3 ] All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions - xda-developers

The only thing that would not happen by flashing those it that your hboot would not be upgraded which you don't want anyway so that you can retain root.

If Haux has an exploit would it work on netachy toastmod rooted EVO 4G?
[EVO 4G General] tommytomatoe:
To be technical because I am a jerk, Hehe, you don't root the hboot. You unlock it via making it s off. You root the Rom by applying super user privileges from within. Hboot s off means you can easily flash different recovety images, radios, and any ruu considering you have supported radios. Tomatoes tomahtoes. :-)
[EVO 4G General] guidecca:
Thanks

That is why you should read, read, read a little more and when you feel comfortable with doing something to your phone, stop and keep reading. This is posted over and over and over again in this forum. Never, ever take the OTA update. As soon as the update was available, Haux had the rooted version ready to be flashed within hours.

I just thought that maybe there was an exploit for gingerbread 2.3 (OTA) that someone had found within hours of Google's release. I wanted to definitely make sure there was or wasn't a way to update my phone. Thanks for your clarification on hboot, etc. Mattlock over on Android Forums has a good guide for rooting and he is good at step-by-step 'how to do it' and some explanation why for us newbies. My rooted phone works fine but my wife's stock phone with the update seems to get a lot of network failures. She has a lot apps and a stock SD card - she refuses to let me root her phone - superstitious kind.
