+1. The Evo 4g proves itself daily as one of, if not the best smartphone on the market. Overall functionality is amazing. I am always learning about new technology and the old Evo still gets **** done. I couldn't buy another phone and get 25 hrs of hard use battery life with all my data, GPS, etc enabled. Full HDMI mirroring. Setcpu...the list doesn't end. Just a really really great phone.

I had that PoS phone too... I hated it so much that one day I decided to drop it in water... and then start whipping it around the room like a bouncy ball... damn thing refused to die... the bottom right cracked and separated but was still fully functional...

edit... I refuse to treat the evo the way I did the instinct

UNLESS YOU HAVE a 3D TV in your home. the evo 3d is a waste of money. I've got 4 3D tv's. :-D and 3 3D LED screens in front of me with my super computer. :-P
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
dude...why?

I'm keeping my Evo until the Within comes out (assuming the Within is hackable). Even so, I'm keeping my Evo so I can learn how to dev.

This is more than a phone, its a personal assistant, no not that kinda personal assistant picking up coffee. I'm locked in for a while and i happen to have caught a Guy trading in a 2.2 evo for a evo 3d... So i gave him $50... This will be my developer phone especially for the ice cream upgrade. I do believe as they move up in dual processors, the apps and games will be one of a kind. At that point the upgrade might important. At least with laptops ungrading ram is nothing but plug n play that you can do by yourself.. you are stuck on the device side of things to keep you on a Ferris wheel of upgrading. I rather sign an agreement with HTC to exclusively use and buy there products and get a deal. This way HTC can already project what consumers want in a phone and what developers would like to see from a software/hardware stand point. Then offer you options of what carriers you can use there device on. What carrier allows unlock devices, better plans etc. #justsaying

I was gonna get rid of my EVO but once I rooted it the phone went from crap to awesome.

I never knew the dev. Community was so dedicated.
[EVO 4G General] mkhopper:
I'll be getting the 3D later this year, but even after the fact I'll be hanging on to my 4g for a good long time.

My old Hero has already been "re-purposed" as a full time media player and I expect I'll do the same for the 4g.

No, these phones are way too powerful to trade-in to be sold as a refurbished unit, or worse, just toss into a drawer, once their life as phone has ended.
[EVO 4G General] Bamba1260:
I was totally going to keep mine... until I dropped it out of a moving Jeep while rock crawling. Needless to say, she didn't survive. Now, I'm in the market for a new phone and cant decide what to get. Nine more days till my upgrade, its exciting.

I'm always the type to have to get the latest and greatest but I love my evo. Best phone I have ever had. Now I do like the evo 3d but I won't upgrade till the bugs are worked out and is rooted.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
Honestly, I am still a new comer to the evo. For a phone that was "old" when I got it, the updates and increasing capabilities impress me daily.

I don't think I'm going to buy into 3d, gimmicky imho. Played with the 3d and Nexus S 4g in store and have to say I am even more satisfied with my evo.

If HTC gets the next Google phone (rumored, I think) I would go for it but I may just stick with evo until then unless HTC releases something that is an upgrade vs a gimmick.

[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
I find it laughable when people say that the 3D isn't an upgrade; Way more ram, dual core processor, a REAL gpu, improved screen quality and resolution, and a better camera... What are you expecting? People see 3D and pass off the evo as a gimmick, but yet they praise the Sensation as if it's some great leap ahead...

I bought a Nexus to play with but still use my Evo as the primary. I'm just waiting on a new Nexus before I retire my Evo to media handler status. Or it breaks. :D

[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
I thought for sure I was going to upgrade to the 3D at launch but I'm running synergy rom and I really like it. So I'll wait until the 3D gets rooted, hopefully by then the Samsung galaxy S2 is out and I can make a decision between the two. I have been on the evo since launch and I really want to be able to flash custom roms and kernels on my next generation phone.

Hell I might go beyond a development death. They pretty much have it perfect at this point so I'm happy. I'm waiting for the LTE switch, then of course for sprint to get an LTE phone I like.

[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
They really should have named the Evo 3D, Evo2 w/3D. That's what it is. The 3D features are actually really nice, and not gimmicky at all. But unfortunately, the mistake was in marketing it for its 3D features mainly, instead of as an addition. The Evo 3D is a beast, and I use it for quite a bit more than its 3D features. So, with that said, we DO have a dual core Evo. It also comes with 3D! :-)

Oh, and I'm not lurking, I still have my original Evo.
[EVO 4G General] jasonb1108:
If I deactivated my EVO can I use it as a media player and for games over WiFi
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
Hello! Just wanted to say that I had my Evo4G for one year, from launch until a few weeks ago. I loved that phone, and still do. I upgraded to 3D because I was due for an upgrade. I will tell you 100% that the Evo 3d is a huge upgrade from the 4G. Lets pretend it doesn't have a cool 3d feature, it still has a way better processor, gpu, and touchscreen. The UI is much smoother than any custom rom was on the 4g, and that is with full on sense 3.0 with all bloat. I am not trying to take away from the Evo 4g at all, because it's an awesome phone, and should go down in Android history, but what I am trying to do is re-assure anyone who was in question that the Evo3D is definitely an upgrade in every way, and then it has a neat 3d feature to boot. Not to mention that it gets 12-24 hours of battery use, out of the box (clearly that depends how you use the phone) My Evo never saw a 12 hour day until it was rooted and had a custom kernel. Once the 3D is fully rooted (which is VERY close, btw) it will be a true beast of a phone. Having the temp-root has been more than enough to hold me over for the month, while waiting for S-off. I'm able to run all root apps with no problems...so long as I don't reboot (haven't rebooted in 17 days, lol)

In case any of you didn't hear, AlphRev has found an S-off exploit for the Sensation and 3D. I wouldn't be surprised if they and/or unrevoked have something for the Evo4G too (speculation on my part, but just wouldn't be surprised)

the (now closed) S-off thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175668

Yep, I still use mine over WiFi all the time. With a wifi connection, it can still function almost 100%. Just use emails as texts, and google voice w/ video to make video or voice calls.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Yes you can.
[EVO 4G General] achvala:
I will upgrade at my 1 year upgrade! New technology BABY
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Old technology baby: my Evo replaced a Motorola StarTac I got in 1999. First mobile phone I ever owned. Evo is the second. I see zero reason to jump to a new one "so soon" lol.

In all seriousness this is the golden age of the Evo. The combination of maturity and breadth of development support is reaching its zenith and may exceed that of any other phone right now.

As someone rightly pointed out, the Evo will go down in history. First ballot Android hall-of-famer

The physical handset its durable *enough*. I'm quite confident I can keep it in good working order for years to come. (I had no problem replacing the camera lens cover and the digitizer already and had no problem finding (and affording) the necessary parts and expertise necessary for this kind of normal upkeep.)

Basically it already does everything I want it to and more, and I expect it will continue to do so until something so disruptive comes along it makes us rethink the very idea of what a smartphone is.

I love new car smell, but if it's about what the phone can actually *do*, well, anyone switching ought to be able to both 1) cite a specific feature the Evo lacks and 2) desire that feature so much they would spend the money and time to switch.

About the only two features most current alternatives seem to have are speed and novelty. For some, that's enough, I fully realize. For me, I'm in it for the long haul.

How do you guys save battery on your lg revolution? I have LTE switch to turn on only 3g to save battery but what are your guys tips for saving battery?
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
I use JuiceDefender.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
My battery lasts 8-12 hours depending on how bad I beat on it.

My active days, I listen to music, play suduko, check xda, play in the market. Listen to tune in radio.

That said. I don't know if that is short. I think it's pretty long, and am happy with it. I have the decrapified rom, love it. I have App Killer by Rechild set on a widget. So I go in set what I want it to regularly kill, and tap the widget through out the day. It's mostly my android process that hogs the battery according to widgetsoid.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
does juicedefender help a lot?

12 hours seems like a long day and good amount of hours. i hear task killers are bad for your phone though
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
I was averaging 9-12 hours with decrapified 1.1 depending on use. JuiceDefender extended that another 1-2 hours but added 4-6 seconds before I get 4G back when the device "wakes up". It turns the radio off and I have it set to ping instead of constantly syncing. 3G comes on 1st, then 4G...
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Sounds ridiculous but i turn airplane mode on when i'm not using the phone. Turn it off every couple hrs to see if i got any emails or texts or something. Huge battery savings. I have the accurate battery mod posted in the dev forum so if i wake it up after sitting for an hr it's down 5% if i leave airplane mode off, but if i turn it on, it's down like 1%... maybe.

Once cm7 is available, we will see huge battery improvements, i have no doubt. Gingerbread is much better w/ the battery than Froyo. I saw huge improvements between cm6 and cm7 nightlies on my droid, to the tune of 200% standby improvements. Still heavy use i wouldn't expect more than 15 hrs, but imo 10 hrs is ridiculous. There's not really a huge difference between heavy and light use in battery time either.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
good to know! thanks. when is cm7 available for the revo?
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Thecubed is currently working on it.
[LG Revolution] bwhite757:
Buy an extra battery and wall charger off eBay... Throw the battery in your back pocket, and you're set all day. I swap the battery out after about 8 hours (when I get to about 20% battery) and I'm good the rest of the day. I've had to do this with EVERY Android phone I've purchased. The OG Droid would only get me about 10 hours right when I got it, but Undervoltage Kernels, and decent Rom's brought it up to around 16 hours on the standard battery. The Samsung Fascinate was horrible - Roughly 6-7 hours out of the box. Rom's got it up to around 12. The Droid Pro - 8 hours at most on the standard battery, never saw any improvements with my usage. Droid 2 - 10 hours out of the box, but when CM7 came out on it, I was averaging around 16 hours before I got the Revo. The 8 hour battery life didn't surprise me. I kinda expected it, and had already placed my battery/charger order before I went and got the phone. I'm not a fan of extended batteries just because of the extra bulk, plus finding a case w/an extended battery is a PITA. And the 3 minute downtime from a battery swap really isn't that bad (especially if you've ever had a Blackberry).
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
good information. but i don't feel safe buying one off of ebay because i don't think the volts will match and it will have bad results on the phone. i can't find a cheap yet any case for the extended battery. i'm sure CM7 on the revo will help the battery a lot. we just have to wait now...

[LG Revolution] bwhite757:
Agreed, I don't buy from overseas with the battery but the charger really doesn't matter. I got a genuine LG battery for $19 and then just a generic charger for it for $8. Knock on wood I haven't had any problems with the chargers I've gotten, but I don't trust generic batteries either.

I have a P509 that I flashed with stock P500 GB. Rooted, added and removed apps, changed apn, edited build.prop and everything looked great. Took it one step further and edited the V20G flex.db and flex.xml for TMOUS settings and two of the launcher buttons dissappeared and the launcher buttons cannot be changed anymore. I looked through the flex.db and didn't find any setting that should have changed the home screen. Could this restriction be built into the LGHome.apk or do I need to look into something else?

[Xperia Play Android Development] Aerox912:
No, not that i'm aware of. But, what you can do, is downgrade your gingerbread to 2.3.2 and then use gingerbreak and then update OTA back to 2.3.3. Then your phone is at least rooted.

Follow this guide

It works, but i recommend to check the box in your phone that it keeps the backlight on during charging, in the same menu as usb debugging.

And then plug you phone in the charger and leave it in during you run gingerbreak.

I found out that if your backlight goes off, it interferes somehow, i did it 3 times. 2 times with backlight off, after 2 hours still nothing. 1 time with backlight on, after 10 minutes it was rooted :)

Hope this helps
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] jasonb1108:
Anyone hear anything about speck or otterbox making cases for the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
Unfortunately no because apparently the trend now is to wrap your tab in dead cow or artificial cow skin. And this is one of those instances where the mass trend is important because it determines what cases get made.

There has been a listing on amazon for a otterbox like case from Incipio for a couple of weeks now but the status has stayed at 1-3 months for a really long time now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] dive_junkie76:
I just posted something in another thread about this but I called incipio and they told me it's in the early development stages and should be out in around a 5 or six weeks. You can get emails from them with updates. I'm doing that right now but once I hear anything new I'll post it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
Thanks Dive! That is awesome that they are actually working on a case, especially if its only 5 weeks out.

I just wish it was sooner. That does explain the 1-3 Amazon listing...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] frychiko:
- Incipio has only a KickStand case in the works, not a Silicrylic or feather case for the GT 10.1.

- OtterBox doesn't have any plans to make a case for the GT 10.1

- Gumdrop has the only rugged GT 10.1 case that I'm aware of (not on sale yet)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] dive_junkie76:
No problem. I'm looking forward to this also. Their cases look pretty nice and durable

Unless you have been told otherwise that's what the rep at Incipio told on the phone yesterday. He added me to a mailing list for updates. Where did you hear about that Incipio was only making the kickstand?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] frychiko:
They said this on their Facebook wall last week. Scroll down about half-way. The Amazon listings for the other Incipio cases will be taken down. Clearly one of these reps are misinformed! I hope it's the Facebook rep.

http://www.facebook.com/incipio
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
Yeah that would be a pretty bad call on their part (Incipio) considering that they have a complete line for the Xoom which is one of the SGTs main competitors.

I guess more SGTs will have to die an untimely death via ground collisions before they realize that rugged cases will sell.....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] dive_junkie76:
Man that does suck!. I too hope this guy is wrong. Maybe I'll call back tomorrow and see what a different rep has to say. I'm sure they make something similar out there or otterbox or speck are working on one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccicchitelli:
Hi All,

Picked up a new SGT 10.1 today on the Staples deal. Well, actually two, the first suffered badly from the dust under screen issue and I returned it, cleaned out two stores in the process.

Trouble is, after the first time I engaged the orientation lock (literally the first time I locked the orientation), it no longer auto rotates when on the home screen. Worked fine for a couple hours prior to that. When I go to the camera app, it rotates (although lags sometimes, but can't tell the cause).

I've tried hard resetting multiple times with two different methods, made no difference. Searched around, found only one other person describing the problem and no solution.

Has anyone heard of this? Is there any app I can use to further test the sensor?

Thanks all!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerrylum:
Try using a game that uses the sensors for movement. That should tell you pretty quickly if it's your sensors or some other software glitch.
