Are there any reasons to stick with At&t? A Target rep just called me and dropped the price to $29.99 for today and tomorrow only. Before I return my phone to At&t (because they won't give me a refund/price match) what should I do?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Numan2:
Welp I went to bestbuy with a copy of the online ad from target and my reciept from 3 weeks ago showing I paid $100 for it they promptly refunded me the $50 + the tax in cash.........life is good!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Carlrobling:
Go in ask for the store manager. If that doesn't work ask for the district managers contact info. Keep going up the food chain someone higher up will wonder why they are talking to a customer instead of the people they pay to do it. Also if you have more then one att store around go to a different one see how that works for you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] toshik1:
OK retuned one to AT&T store and got another one from Target.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mikewired:
Same here. I went to two different att stores to ask for a price match and both stores said no!!!! I talked to mgr's at both locations. At the second store I asked the mgr "so the the only option is to return it?" the mgr said yes. I went to the car and got the boxes and returned the phone. The mgr looked surprised like surely he is not going to return it, wrong.... I went to best buy with Target ad in hand and left with the 50.00 infuse. This was well worth the 45 min ordeal for 150.00. The funny thing is that the att store did not know how to refund the free car charger, so the told me to keep it, so I did....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Carlrobling:
lol Nice free car charger. I have a usb port charger so i can plug any usb cable into it and charge anything. So I haven't bought a charger in a year or so.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
I did the same. I returned it to At&t, and even with the restocking fee I saved more than enough money :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twelveone:
I told my Father-in-Law about the $49 Infuse and told him to go to Best Buy to get a price match. The Sales Associate refused to do the price match and said she had already turned away three others asking for the price match. I then told my Father-in-Law to just go to Wal-Mart to get the price match. He was in and out of Wal-Mart in ten minutes with an Infuse for $53 after tax.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Thats sad...the only reason they can deny the price match is if it is out of stock...i had no issues.

And who gave up their unlimited data???? you should call in on that...if you are grandfathered you are grandfathered...only new additional lines would not have it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] StyleUkno:
This was an amazing deal. Picked this phone up for the wife, Target didnt have any left but i priced matched with Best Buy, they only did it because i used to work there...but still non the less amazing deal...$100 bucks and some change including the $18 upgrade fee and taxes.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jimmie48jj:
this was a great find i got a price match at wal-mart a day after the sale ended at target. they didnt even look at the date on the ad from target :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] twelveone:
The Best Buy Sales Associate misread the Target ad and thought that the $49 price was the result of a gift card deduction. When my Father-in-Law asked for the manager, she said he was there and would not be for another 3 hours.

Instead of making a big stink over it, he just went to wal-mart with no trouble at all.

I had no trouble getting my $100 refund at a different Best Buy store so that is why I suggested Best Buy to begin with.

Root went fine. I installed Rom Manager and flashed CWM straight away, but I can't access recovery. I've tried through RM and adb, but it just gets stuck at the white screen with the htc logo. I deleted PG05IMG from the SD card.

Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Did you give Rom Manager permissions in Super User? It asks for it at the very end, maybe if you weren't paying attention you could have missed it? If you open Rom Manager where it says "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" It should say in small letters underneath it what the current recovery is. Does it say that the current recovery is ClockworkMod 3.1.0.2?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xPuls3x:
Yeah, the first time I tried to flash it, it gave me a privileges error, but the second time it worked. It says the current recovery is CWM. TitaniumBackup even says that root/busybox is ok, so that's not the problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Just flash it over again.

Open RomManager settings and select "Erase Recovery".

Hit menu in RomManager and select "Clear DL Cache" (so it will DL the recover image again).

In a good data area select "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" again (you can do it a second time to make sure if flashed if you want, doesn't matter).

Sometimes even if RM says it successfully flashed it didn't.

Edit:

D@mn at the spelling/grammar errors. My bad :(

Hi,

I had an user account for XDA Forum but wanted to change the user name. I did this by creating a new user account with the same email.

However I just noticed that my privileges have gone (I have to post to regain them).

What I ask is: is there a way to regain my privileges without writing 10 senseless posts in a hurry?

I can provide my previous UN/PW to confirm and to delete that account, if needed.
[General Questions and Answers] theblob27:

So I updated the market to the newest version and occasionally when I open the market it tells me I have to have background data enabled. Problem is I have background data enabled. I can open the browser and everything else works but when I try to open the market and keep getting this error.

Is this affecting anybody else? Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
Rebooting the phone seems to fix the problem but it's real annoying to have to do that.
[HTC EVO 3D] HseloMein:
I have the same issue from time to time, Using task manager to force close market usually fixes the issue
[HTC EVO 3D] TrofeoSC:
I went back to the original market.

The new one wouldn't load last nite and is not all that much better for the hassle.

I'll wait until they get it worked out.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncraba01:
I noticed when the low battery power saver kicks in it disables the background data. Whenever you pull up the market with a low battery, you’ll get this warning. A quick enable cures the issue.

You can adjust the power saver behavior or disable the feature entirely.

Related?
[HTC EVO 3D] Viper Daimao:
Well this happened to me, except that the market still says background data needs to be enabled even after I've enabled it. I even installed 2 apps from the market in my desktop browser.

Killing the market fixed it though. Seems like the market app just got stuck thinking it was down and didn't refresh or try again.
[HTC EVO 3D] T3hPWN:
Aside from using a task manager and rebooting my solution to this is just go to Settings -> Manage applications -> market -> Clear Data

it seems to work hope it helps

Does everyone's agenda widget keeps updating? I am also noticing bookmark and YT widgets are doing the same. Thats not how it was on htc evo 4g. is there a fix for this?

[HTC EVO 3D] aaronb1980:
Ok so I'm at week 3 with this thing and yesterday I noticed that my screen had a dead spot on it. What I mean by that is that there was an unresponsive section on the screen. I had experienced this before on my E4G. End result was sprint replaced the phone. By last night the spot responded again but a new location was affected by this problem.

Also the last few days I've had issues with the phone just "running away". I will get backed out of an app automaticlly then multiple selections are made as the phone flies through different screens on its own. While this is happening I do feel a haptic response to this phantom finger making all these selections. When I touch the screen myself there is no response to my touch. Screen shutdown stops the action and allows me to restart the phone after I get the screen back on.

Need to know if anyone else is or has experienced this. I've only got a few days left on my 30 for return without having to pay for another phone.

Also, I have not rooted this device or used any mods.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I haven't had the issue where the phone is whipping through different screens on its own, but I have had a dead spot in one particular area a few times. It doesnt always happen, and I can't really force it to repeat. It is totally random when it happens, but it is that same spit every time it does happen. A factory reset seemed to help, but it still happens once in a while. When it happens, I change to a different screen, then go right.back to the screen with the 'dead spot' and it is no longer dead/unresponsive. Very odd.

I would try a factory reset, then of the problem persists I'd probably take it to Sprint. I have a couple days left and am pondering exchanging mine for a new one as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Did you have anything plugged into the headset jack? Only time I've experienced a runaway phone going crazy was when I had mine plugged into an amp via the headphone jack. All sorts of crazy control signals go through there.

[EVO 4G General] th3gh05t:
Hello,

My HTC EVO 4g keeps randomly restarting and when the phone is under heavy usage is reboots. I'm going to go into a Spring store today and try and get a new phone as I have the TEP plan.

I currently have CM7 installed on my device. When I bring it in to the Sprint store, should I have the stock ROM installed on there? Or does it not matter?

Thanks for your time and answers!

Regards, th3gh05t
[EVO 4G General] dottat:
Well that would suck... you're going to end up getting a phone that cannot be rooted (for now) and won't be installing CM7. What you really should do is instal the rooted OTA and see if you can hack that for a couple of days first... If not, debate how long you can put up with the reboots.
[EVO 4G General] th3gh05t:
Thanks for the reply, but at this point, I really just need a phone that works.

Playing games, surfing the web, or using Maps will restart the phone.

I just need to know if they won't take the phone cause it's been "rooted".
[EVO 4G General] Omgadroid:
Just in root leave s off for someone in the future
[EVO 4G General] th3gh05t:
Is anyone at the Sprint store going to freak out and not take the phone back if I don't have stock ROM?
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
It's ALWAYS recommended to unroot and return to stock before going into a sprint store. Yes, SOME people have gotten lucky and not got caught. But if you do get caught being rooted, they will flag your phone and you will NEVER get it fixed. It literally takes 5 minutes to unroot, just do it just to be safe.

On a side note, are you sure your problems aren't related to the CM7 rom you have? ANY custom rom will have problems. You should try flashing back to stock rom, or at least a Sense rom and see if you still have the same problem.
[EVO 4G General] th3gh05t:
Okay, thanks for the advice!

Yes, I have tried other ROMs, and I still experience the issue. I've tried Fresh and will be flashing stock ROM to see if that helps.
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
I've gotten 3 replacements, I leave them s-off and they never check that. I do however flash a stock rom first just so they don't give me any sh*t. And I got lucky last week, my replacement phone came with 2.3 on it but it was s-off. You may get lucky too

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Since you're going to be stuck on the stock ROM anyway if you replace it, you might want to first try installing the stock rooted ROM from here and run it for a few days.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133379

It's quite possible that something in your setup on CM7 is causing the phone to overheat. Or it could be any number of things that might have nothing to do with hardware. Before you give up a rootable phone for one that can't be, you might as well try the stock ROM first. If that clears things up, you can experiment to find the culprit.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
EXACTLY! If you're having software issues and you're running a custom ROM, before even considering exchanging the phone you should revert to stock to see if the problem truly lies within the hardware itself or the ROM you are using. As far as unrooting, I would not unroot before taking it to Sprint should you have to resort to that. Just flash a stock rooted ROM and you should be fine.
[EVO 4G General] dino1342:
i am having the same problem when i went into the sprint store they looked at me like i was lien then took it to the back did a hard reset and told me it was fixed after i told them i did a hard reset over the phone with the teck and when i got home started up my google beta and started playing cut the rope it restarted on me so i called like 3 days later and thet gave me a hard time trying to get a new phone told me that they dint do replacement that i had to call HTC wow my wife had i epic and got 4 replacements no problem so i snaped and thery are now sending me a new phone they said that it will take a week or two cuz they are on back order and yes i unrooted the phone b4 i went in but i had to let you know the BS you might havr to go through

For some reason, I love playing golf games while traveling, and so I'm very much interested in Let's Golf 2 3D for the 3vo. I'm a little disappointing that they haven't released any sort of demo/trailer for the 3D game, so I was wondering if any 3vo owners out there have tried the game...if so, what's your review of it?
[HTC EVO 3D] dishun71:
yes nice game, i play it every day...
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
I had lets golf 2 on my evo but it wouldn't display correctly on the 3vo so I went ahead and bought the 3D version. It's pretty cool, if you like the other lets golf games than its worth the 4.99. Its another way to show off the 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Very good game, one of my favorites. Runs way faster without the 3D enabled though.

I had bought the HD version on my og evo and it wouldn't work on my 3vo, so I emailed Gameloft and they sent me the apk for the 3D version and I am very impressed. The 3D is pretty awesome, plus it runs so much faster than the HD version did on my evo. Great game, even better if you already owned before and get the free 3D upgrade.

i have android 2.2 at the moment. is there a way to get the old style of search behavior on android 2.2? where you double tap the search key and the whole phone search comes up?

thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Are you talking about being able to search for content on the phone? If so hit search key, tap the icon to the left of the text field, and select the things you want to show up in searches.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielseeksGod:
thank you but while i did mean being able to search for content on the phone, i meant something more like in 2.1, how whenever even if you're in the browser, if you press search once, it'll popup the browser address bar field, and if you press it again, it'll pop up google search for content on your phone. the google search wasn't its own application back then, but it is now.

basically the advantage to what i'm talking about over what we have now, is that you don't have to be on your home screen to bring up the phone-content search, you can be anywhere and double tab search, and also the search phone-content thing loaded a lot faster on 2.1 when it wasn't an application, than it does now.

do you have any idea how i can get this functionality in 2.2?

Try SPi belts. I have one and it works great. I don't have an Galaxy 2 yet but I have an HTC EVO 4g (similar size but much heavier) and it works great with it. The best thing about it is that it does not bounce around like armbands. It also would fit any size phones as the material is stretchable.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] danny6514:
you sure you are not talking about the recent 3.1 follow up update?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
I have a Xoom running 3.2. Most of the changes are behind the curtain so you will not notice them in the UI. One change you will notice and use is the zoom feature for non-tablet apps that would appear small even in portrait mode. But when you stretch or fill screen, the sharpness goes away just as am image stretched would be. One thing it did do for my Xoom was enable the MicroSD card but read only. Even my Viewsonic GTab running 2.2 Froyo had read/write permissions on the MicroSD almost a year ago...

In a nutshell, the 3.2 update for the Xoom was about making the Xoom more stable and that it did, much like the 3.1 Build 8.4.4.11 follow-up update for the TF did. As far as new features we can see and play with, well I think we'll be waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Backwardsblade:
I believe that the 3.2 update brings some additional bugfixes that are very significant. Can you report on portrait scrolling between screens? The absolute worst flaw imho is the rendering when it portrait, its just damn ugly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
Smooth as butter on my Xoom swiping screens side to side in portrait mode. Checked it on my TF for you too and smooth as well. Some members have reported lag when turning the tab from landscape to portrait but that is the design not a bug. If it was instant, the screen would be changing every time you made any tilting movement. It has to be at a certain angle for 500ms or so...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryukent:
Please could you report whether there is any 'judder' in pan shots using an H264 video in stock player?
