It helped out a little doing that but i hope i can find a good camera app. T-Mobile said its just the camera my friend s4g looks the same. That's a shame mytouch camera looks way better at night.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Mine looks pretty damn good when indoors. The best I've ever seen...Easily.

Thanks for the exposure tip

I'm currently on Verizon, 4 lines together with my family.

I'm hitting some bad times financially so my parents are paying for it, I'm trying to save some money for them though, so I was considering switching to TMobile or Sprint.

I need some real time advice on their services and data coverage.

3G and "4G" speeds, what the signal is like, etc.

I know about their phones so I'm worrying about that later.

I've heard bad things about both carriers' speeds and signals but I'm sure that depends on where you live, hence I need real discussion from different people.

I live in central NC if that helps.

I'm not too keen on AT&T but if anyone has anything to add about them, go ahead, I'll consider it.
[General Topics] jiggy79:
I would change to Sprint, the best coverage prices and the network is decent.
[General Topics] noesilva:
If you do go with sprint if u have an AOL email that's an additional 10%, off ur Bill
[General Topics] bleach168:
You almost literally have to get someone with the service to come to your house to test. Verizon is a total dead zone at my house, but is decent a couple miles away.

Sprint has a 30 day money back guarantee so you might try them first.
[General Topics] I Am Marino:
How do I go about just randomly trying them?
[General Topics] breugel:
I feel your pain but with my job traveling Verizon is really the only choice for me.
[General Topics] bleach168:
Are any of your friends on T-Mobile or Sprint?
[General Topics] gamikzone:
im on t-mobile its cheap and i get good signal at my house but if i go a few miles out of this area i lose coverage when i leave the town and i dont have any 3g/4g coverage in my area t-mobile is spotty about 3g/4g i dont get any 3g coverage unless i travel 30 minutes west of here to get any 3g signal depending on where u live i would check coverage maps if ur area has 3g/4g go ahead with t-mobile

Whoa man!

Periods. Use them.
[General Topics] smalltank:
I know what you mean..but it comes down to $40 for me per month for my family on Verizon...I personally was on ATT for 18 months..really bad service in all ways you can think of..now they are buying tmobile..be prepared for you r bills to go up as well with this merger...when/if it happens..Sprint has only 1 carrier and that is ClearWire with its 4g backbone support..so far their testing 4g speeds have been really badnot to mention here in California my wife ALWAYS made sure our bill with Sprint was where it was supposed to be..meaning we got bills for $600..then down to $0 due to their irresponsibility (2009) ..not much of a price between tmo/sprint when compared to Verizon..personally..its not worth nickel n diming as I did for my family for 18 months and we hated it..and didnt pay off at all..good luck with your choice..try to consider MetroPCS or BoostMobile (cheap pre pay)

(if you choose not to stay)

[General Topics] getitoutme2:
If I had to choose between staying with Verizon and switching to AT&T ... for the price, I would definitely choose Verizon.

I would consider Sprint, but not T-Mobile since I've had more than one bad experience with them and also because they are being absorbed my AT&T.
[General Topics] I Am Marino:
I have a friend who has Sprint and my girlfriend has T Mobile

but I feel like I need more testing though.
[General Topics] vq35power:
+1

been with sprint since 1998. Good coverage, good service and competitive pricing.

Well, I sure as hell am not using this app anymore on my phone to help push files to it. And I dunno if devs on XDA will want to continue putting their stuff onto here anymore to help ease distribution. I wouldn't.

Thoughts?
[Off-topic] xaccers:
Thoughts? Some legally illiterate blogger misunderstands TOS and starts scaremongering to get publicity.

As one of the comments states there are more serious concerns about storing files on a cloud service, especially with groups like anonymous and lolz secz that would hack it just to show it can be done.
[Off-topic] tvall:
Cloud storage systems are often more secure than personal computers. They attempt seurity. Most of the PC's I've seen you just need the IP and your in. I have yet to find a completely secure system. (My security is just several layers of chroots)
[Off-topic] ryanjoehere:
where u get the info from? :D

Never had stolen or stole any data from cloud storage systems. But have had friends had tons of data right off their computers. Most people don't put ANY effort into security other than a login password.

what a crock. Its a lowball way for companies to get peoples ideas and work without paying for them. I knew cloud storage was too good to be true for long.

Doesnt look like ill be using any of them for this. Oh wait I dont have to since I use website servers to host my own stuff. :P
[Off-topic] xaccers:
What is?

All it does is allow them to do what YOU want them to do with it, such as when you share drop box folders and their content with others, you're giving DB the right to share your data at your request.
[Off-topic] BeerChameleon:
Exactly, if you have files stored in dropbox, no one can use the file unless you copy a link and share it... i mean its not like 4shared where you upload something then can search the site for files like copyrighted material and what not... The only way someone can access your stuff if you share the folder or link with them....:rolleyes:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tabing:
you can easily watch highly quality Netflix movies plus control all of your PC with the app called

Splashtop Remote Desktop HD. Available from market the price is $4.99. Easy setup and the app works superfast for all purposes. Please hit the thank button if i have show you some solution.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] shawnwojcik:
Can u rewind or fast forward?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kirdroid:
Thanks works really nice .... is there an option to turn of the display on the streaming server? I was streaming from my laptop and would like to avoid the duplicate display on my laptop.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Special_opps:
It is like having your computer desktop on your tab. The problem I have is there is no sound. Check out the devs website faq.. Alot of audio problems. Support sucks imo. The desktop msnagement part works well. I am trying 14 day free trial of playon. It works with netflix, hulu and more.

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thatdude90210:
Audio issues seems to be common there. I have one Win7 computer that has no audio issues with Splashtop.

And another with XP that's normally connected to a tv via HDMI. I get no audio from it in Splashtop unless I plug something into the front speaker/headphone jack. It doesn't even have to be speakers or headphones, just plug in a plug that's not connected to anything, as long as the Realtek software detects it and I select "speakers", I get audio in Splashtop.

Btw, this is a good workaround for Hulu also, if the solution in here doesn't work for you and you don't want to root the 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] shawnwojcik:
Have any of you tried playon it works well for hulu Netflix and streaming any file to your devices my only compliant is u can't skip around at all.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] droxid:
Playon is definetly the better option. Splashtop is good if youre on your own network or have a superb internet connection at both locations. Otherwise play on works a hundred times better due to the compression it uses.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thatdude90210:
Huh, I didn't even realized Playon app was working. I've had it installed on my htpc for a while, but when I tried the Playon app on my tablet, screen for hulu shows don't have a video to click. CBS shows had a tiny video on top that I can click to go full screen, but hulu shows didn't. Turns out that even without that small video, I can still click that spot and go to a full screen video. That's great, I bought playon before it went subscription.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tabing:
Yes you can rewind and fast forward.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tabing:
There is no sound issue if you go to splashtop website. The sound thing is not a issue its a small easy setting that you have to do on your PC. The support for this setting is very easy and step by step with pictures. Please chk that out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kirdroid:
Hey even I don't have any sound issues ... this is one of the best apps for the tablet currently. No performance issue or anything for me, it's now become a android/windows dual tablet :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thatdude90210:
I'm new so I can't post links yet here, but Splashtop support has a workaround that involves changing audio selections and a loopback cable. "There is a special trick to work around the no sound issue on xp. You can loop back headphone out to audio-line-in by an audio cable like this: (i.e. on a notebook, plug in both holes of "headphone" and "microphone")

Also note that for XP, the checkbox for "mute this computer" should be unchecked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NovaRev:
Splashtop is great unless you want to use it to connect to a headless (no monitor) system, then it doesn't work at all. I wanted to use it to connect to my headless Mac Mini for streaming Netflix and stuff, but no go unfortunately.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thatdude90210:
Heh, Splashtop is awesome, I'm getting LIVE TV on my tablet. I realized that maybe it could stream SageTV (DVR) from my server, I just had to tweak the video in Sagetv from overlay to vmr9 and use the default audio. Non HD streams perfectly, HD isn't quite as smooth but watchable. Here's a couple of pics, one from the today's TDF on Versus non HD channel and another from their HD channel:

Btw, SageTV isn't available anymore. The company was bought by Google last month so maybe we'll be seeing some cool stuff them on Android or Google TV.
[HTC Sensation] Sonoemt:
Anyone have this issue?

My lock screen will cut in half. The circle will be in the middle of the device.

You can't drag the circle and move it up the device to unlock. To unlock you would have to drag based on the spot where the circle is supposed to be.

This issue has been coming and going. But once I get the device to unlock it goes back to normal.

I bought mine on release day from tmobile.

Today however the screen would not go back to normal.

This also "created" another issue. When I flip through the carousel the default apps that were on the device went missing. Only the home page apps stayed there.

I was able to "fix" it by doing a reset. I will exchange it just wondering if anyone else is experiencing it. I have a photo but since I am a new user I would have to spam 7 more posts to post the pic. If anyone wants to post it in this thread send me a message, I will send you the photobucket link.
[HTC Sensation] Sonoemt:
I just noticed that it went to the wrong section when it should have gone to the Q&A.

it worked :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Jo_795:
So I work for Sprint, and I just got my replacement and come to find it has 2 dead pixels. I'm within my 30 days but what you guys think? keep replacing until I get one with clearly 0 dead pixels? anyone else get bothered by 1 dead pixel or what.... the first evo 3-d had 4 dead pixels. :mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
yes, who the hell wants to have a screen with dead pixels? I certainly would not pay for that.. others have returned it.

I am going on my 4th evo but for hw related problems such as locking, not charging etc. if i got one that had a deal pixel.. it would go back to HTC/sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevo77:
+1 and you work for sprint. I work for a bottled water company. If I got a bad bottle or my cooler wasn't working correctly I'd want it replaced asap.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
I have yet to see a dead pixel on one.. can you post some pics if you have a good camera
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
yeah me either....id like to see these dea pixels if u can post a PIC.....also i thought someone said that theres an app that can detect if u have dea pixels.....anyone know what its called?
[HTC EVO 3D] iliapiano:
I would not keep a phone with a dead pixel and i didn't, went through a few of them. to me it's a defect, what's the reason to not return a brand new device if it has a defect. but on the other hand that might sound like i am spoiled, the phone still works the same even if there is one dead pixel.
[HTC EVO 3D] xPhantom:
Yeah, to me, a dead pixel is a defect. I would not pay $200 for a brand new phone and settle for it to be in less than perfect condition. You can download "Dead Pixel Test" from the market. It just displays solid colored screens, which make it easier for you to spot a dead pixel.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
yeah its in the Market called "Dead Pixel Test" it goes through all the colors to see if you have stuck or dead pixel's. I haven't see any yet and have had 2 E3D's.
[HTC EVO 3D] tubesaq:
I have a stuck pixel, on green. It's really only noticeable when using the camera. I'm going to exchange it since I can, otherwise it's something I can live with.
[HTC EVO 3D] bobdude5:
ive never had a phone with a dead pixel..or maybe i've never noticed it..hmmmm
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Probably the latter.

My recommendation is if you do not see it, don't go looking for it. Odds are you will probably find 1 or 2 but if you do not know it is there, then who really cares.

Also, the pixel is not dead unless it stays black. What everyone is seeing is a stuck pixel and it is very common on these screens.
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
My first 3D had a stuck pixel. This one all pixels are good but there is a big-ass speck of dust under screen. I hate to do this, but I'm gonna have to go back and either have it cleaned or replaced. On another note...my 3G is kicking ass today with the stock EVRC Home and Roaming settings in my living room! An average of 5 tests 1090kbps D/L 410kbps U/L here in Tacoma, WA...not bad! Hope this lasts!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jo_795:
So today I got my 3rd replacement and it actually has more dead pixels then the 2nd replacement... The 2nd one I think im going to keep since its 1 pixel on the screen and 2 on the bottom near the buttons... I don't want to keep having to do return kits and fighting for credits... its harder for us that work at sprint because we don;t get the exchanges in-store everything is online...
[HTC EVO 3D] GhettoBSD:
boy do you have that right... if you don't see a dead pixel don't go looking for one!

many years ago I bought a hans g monitor from newegg that was on super sale... so cheap it sold out fast...

so everyone was reporting anywhere from one or more dead or stuck pixels. the people with the stuck pixels were for the most post able to fix them by gently massaging them. a few had the pixels stay stuck. others had dead pixels.

I personally have a few in a horizontal line. they are stuck in a dark grey which could have really been much worse.

but after so many years, the monitor with stuck pixels is still worth they price I paid. sure, we paid good money for our phones, and I do expect a product that is one hundred percent, but if the pixel is out if the way or isn't easily noticed, why not keep it?

then again, our vision is concentrated in a much smaller area so it might be really bad. but either way, while curious I won't be checking for damaged pixels! cause that might just drive me insane because you can't un-see what you have seen lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
3 dead pixels here I think, but you only see em if you staring at a lit screen with nothing on it... And if you doing that then you just tryna find a complaint

Bussin Caps n 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am still up in the fence about returning my phone because of one tiny stuck pixel.

I think the question is, how many EVO's would I need to go through to get one without. I am guessing a lot more people have stuck pixels that just don't know about because they haven't found them yet.

I think the odds of getting a perfect screen are probably far less then getting one with stuck pixels.

As the 30 days grows closer this decison is becoming harder and harder and I keep talking myself out of the return thinking I might get something worse but I am just not happy with non-perfection!
[HTC EVO 3D] ninja984:
Maybe you exchange the one you have now and if it has problems you should return it and wait for the next hardware version. Maybe it will have less problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
So I bit the bullet and went for the exchange.

I am happy to say that the new device has no dead pixels! What is does have a the slightly crooked screen but I would have never even known what that was if not reading it on here so I can live with that over dead pixels.

Also, my screens colors seem so much better on this one. Maybe the misaligned screens are the ones with the whiter whites because it definitely looks better?

One thing I found weird was the lock screen was set on the weather one. My first one was not...It was definitely an un-opened box and I didn't even think about till hours after when I was like, um I didn't change my locks screen and it had the weather one as default.

Anyone, much happier with this one....
[HTC EVO 3D] nuggyunlimited:
How to spot a dead pixel?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I will tell you but in all honesty if you haven't found one, I wouldn't go looking for it.

In the market if you search pixel, there is something called dead pixel test or something like that. It cycles through different colors. The most popular culprits will usually show on the black screen.

Go into a dark room and turn the brightness up. What you usually will see are bright white spots on the black screen which would be the stuck pixels.

Only the strong hearted and non OCD people should do this....Although any OCD person probably won't be able to control the urge to search for it now.
[HTC EVO 3D] parousia15:
I don't know what my problem is. On Evo 4G had one stuck pixel that turned up after 6 months or so and It didn't bother me at all. When I discovered one stuck pixel on my 3D I couldn't get over it. I decided to live with it because I never saw it during normal use. However, the phone had others problems (over heating, random freezes, lag, light leakage).

I ended up exchanging it, and the new phone has none of these problems. I did a quick check for dead or stuck pixels while I was still at the store and then I promised myself that I wouldn't go looking for them again.

I would listen to others, if you don't see anything or don't know, don't go looking for it. Most are minor cosmetic imperfections.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
I thought sprint wouldn't let you replace more then once I'm on my second one and it needs replaced
[HTC EVO 3D] theinternot:
Noooooooooooooo... ooooooooo!!! Downloaded app.. 2 stuck pixels middle left side of screen. Once it is seen it cannot be unseen.
[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
My device has one dead pixel but its barely noticable. I'm not going thru the hassle of replacing it for something I hardly see and doesn't hinder the device functions.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I told you not to go looking for it cause odds are probably better you would find one then not :mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I have one, but its in the top right corner so u can't really notice it. Even one stuck/dead pixel is hard to notice since they are small. If you notice larger dead pixels, it must be more than one bunched together.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
You guys must of got a bad batch.....To the original OP...one of my buddies also had dead pixels...but asked for a different set that was ordered a week later...no problems..
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
I had what I thought was a dead pixel but then after looking at the screen when my device was off I could see a tiny white spec..I can see it when the screen is off with a light source shinning on the screen so it couldn't be a dead pixel.But when the device is on it looks like a dead pixel..But its a damn spec of dust or something.

Ive tried to shake it out and use compressed air and just can not find a way in to blow it out.I think these specs under the screen are their from manufacturing because i just could not find a way to get any air under the screen.

This is my 2nd device I only had it for one day and tried to bring it back but I was told they could not swap out my device because i've already had 1 exchange.(1st device kept freezing when taking video and wouldn't play 3D content).Im not the type to complain or ***** but couldnt I have just said "here,give me a refund"?Im with in my 30 days.But I love this phone and dont really want to do that.Im sure in time that stupid spec wont bother me.
[HTC EVO 3D] jpreichart:
My story is the same as yours. I am on my second as well. I noticed the spec yesterday. I assume its dust. I will at least stop trying to get it out as you have had no luck. It escaped me for a week. I also have one stuck bright pixel

Trying to decide what to do. Thing runs flawlessly from a hardware standpoint.

Sprint told me I could exchange it one more, but I am stuck with whatever that one has.

What would you do?
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
Well I tried so If they would have let me I would have done it because the damn spec is right in the middle of the screen..If it was in a corner I wouldn't care
[HTC EVO 3D] jpreichart:
can you try a different store? or a manager? seems your not asking too much
