[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
hey guys, my girlfriend just bought a new evo that has the gingerbread ota already installed. i want to root it and install a gingerbread rom (synergy to be specific). i understand that i need to revert back to froyo first, and then i plan on using the auto root from here--> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838448. my question is whats the best way to revert to an older ruu? i did it on my thunderbolt by just flashing in cwm but i was already rooted. ive read something about using fastboot but ive never done anything with that on my thunderbolt, so could someone point me in the right direction?

edit: did some more research, turns out the new hboot wont allow you to downgrade an ruu, and there's currently no way to install an older hboot. looks like im stuck waiting( well actually she is, i can still enjoy my root :D)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michaud85:
turn off phone completely (pull battery) press power button and volume down at same time. Thats brings you to Hboot. if there is S-on at the top of the screen somewhere just reboot and wait until someone comes up with a definate method of rooting the 2.3.3 otherwise you might look like a fool by breaking ur gf new phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
haha my thoughts exactly. and unless sprint ships there phones pre-rooted im gonna assume its still s-on since i havent touched it yet lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michaud85:
haha yeah i just got my phone today and its so stupid how they force their OS on you. You cant even shut the phone off without pulling the battery (the power off in the menu just puts it to sleep so it boots up quickly when u power on). Hopefully someone can save us from this non rooted nightmare soon.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firket2000:

I want to root my phone but I want to back up my apps before I do so, mainly just xda premium because that's the only app I paid for. How do I do this if I'm not rooted?
[Verizon Droid Charge] piperat:
Do a backup from your settings menu in phone. When you get a new phone just put in your gmail info on setup and it will automatically download most of your apps from the market. The last part is that any app you pay for stays with your gmail account. When you get a new phone and set up your gmail info go into market and you will see it say purchased. The catch is that you have to use that gmail account from here on out. If its not the main account on the phone neither of the previous suggestions will work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hockeybpr25:
oh ok sweet, i already had my gmail account set up so i guess i'm good
[Verizon Droid Charge] hockeybpr25:
So when I went to the market to put xda premium back on my phone it's saying I have to buy it again. The market shows that I'm logged into my gmail account as well.

If you are logged into the same Google account the purchase was made on, you can re-download any purchased app at any time without paying again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hockeybpr25:
Just remembered I bought it through Amazon so I got it that way.

Now another question. I had backup assistant with verizon and when I started my phone the first time I got it it loaded that up and put in all my contacts. How do I get it to do that now that I'm running gummyCHARGED
[Verizon Droid Charge] dlang123:
Okay maybe a stupid question

I'm a developer.. but this is my first Android phone... so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

If I buy an App on GmailAccount#1. Can I back it up and then restore it if my phone is synced to GmailAccount#2?

Reason I ask, and maybe this is the way it is suppose to be, but coming from an iPhone I am use to sharing apps with my wife's phone.

I researched a bit and it seems like the only way to do that is if you decided to setup a third gmail account, and make it the primary for both, and then sync our personals after that.

Is there an easier way to share apps within the household? Or is it suppose to be more of a 1 app per device vs 1app per household?

If I can't do both, I'll probably buy fewer apps, especially the more expensive ones. I could justify it more when at least I could get 2 (actually 3 cause I have an iPad too) installs out of it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
Apps are matched to the purchasing account and only the purchasing account.

I believe that's intentional, as it's a bit unfair to app developers for the OS provider to decide their apps can all be shared.

HOWEVER: if you put the Amazon Appstore on both phones and sign in to the same Amazon account, the Google account the phone's set up on is irrelevant. Most really good apps are on the Amazon Appstore now (and in general, the quality of apps is higher and they're certainly safer since Amazon approves every single app).

Hmm, I've been looking for a cheap class 10 32gb.

They also have a class 4 32gb sandisk for the same price. Looks like I'm going with the PNY.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Not bad for 59.99 but I didn't like how its only rated at 10mb/sec write speed. I went for the Adata one instead which is rated at 17mb/sec write speed for $10 more.
[HTC EVO 3D] Evil Bob:
Sadly they're both out of stock again :(

Adata: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211558

PNY: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178381

And Aznmode is correct, the Adata model is rated at 17mb/sec on writes where the PNY model is 10mb/sec on writes. For only $10 more I'd definitely go with the faster Adata.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
I've been using the PNY card for about the last month. It works well - my only complaint is that it doesn't appear to actually be class 10. Testing in the phone - and testing in a card reader, the best write speeds I could get were consistently between 7 to 8 mb/sec.

I've been able to play 1080P clips flawlessly with diceplayer though - so I ended up keeping the card. I've seen no instances where the lesser speed held me back.

[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Wow glad I ordered mine last week (just received this morning) and it was only $69.99. I bet now that we got s-off and nand backup and roms require a lot more space now that 32gb are being purchased left and right. Anyway reading from the reviews some are getting write speed of 15mbps on the Adata which is awesome.
[HTC EVO 3D] DOG666:
Thanks for the great find, I just ordered one. It's gonna' be great to finally not have to worry about filling my 16gb card with nandroid backups, or theme's/apk's.

Hopefully this card works great, my 16gb hasn't given me any problems, but it's time to upgrade = )
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
What program are you guys using to test card speed. I downloaded SD Tools from the Market and it doesn't read right. I have a class 2 that reads 10mbps but take a while to finish while my class 10 adata gets the same 10mbps but finishes fast.
[Acer Iconia A500] EddieCz:
Hello,

my A500 is now in unstable, weird state, i tried to flash ROM update, but i forgot an old update.zip on SD and also that i have no CWM more. My fault of course.

It started to flash again, suddenly stopped. Now if i reboot, i am on my old ROM, but only Power off .. shutting down message appears. I can touch time, settings, but unable anything to do. Message is still there. I tried to press RESET button, no way. I tried to flash it again with rescue Update.zip no way. Just message still there.

Looks like, it wants to shut down, but this never happens from some reason. But why it is again after reboot there, i don't know.

Any advice please ?

Thanks, Ed
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Can you install Acer Recovery Installer so you can install CWM from within Acer Recovery Installer?
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Try flashing cwm mod using Acer recovery and quickboot to reboot into recovery. If that fails install itsmagic via fastboot or cwm mod 1.3.4 via manual method posted. Don't despair mate you be fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] smegg:
I had exactly this problem myself a few days ago...cwm was corrupted and the fix was to download official rom which was chinese and put it onto my external sd card. Then pressing power/volume up forced the update which also reset the cwm and boot sector back to stock. After this I used the official 3.1 rom on this website to update with english version and market app then finally install cwm to use roms.whew it was painful and i cannotremember where i got the chinese rom from...so im only slightly helpful. :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:

I am not able to put there any ROM, my last hope is that chinese, do you have some link on Multiupload (other site are blocked here).

I have a steady 4g and I live in NYC as well, specifically Williamsburg. I get about 4 bars outside, one to two bars while inside.

Where do you live that you get bad coverage? I always considered NYC to have great coverage, but so never tried it in Queens. It may be worst there.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
I'm in St. Louis, and I find it to be pretty thin. As others have mentioned, the frequency means that it just doesn't work well indoors. And it destroys my already terrible battery life. However, if I can get a signal, and if I'm near a charger, the speed is very nice.

Overall I'd say my WiMax experience is a C-.
[EVO 4G General] runcool:
HERE IS A FACT. this is A FACT! Sprints 4G network is a joke. They have no real workable 4G network. Having a tower here and there doesn't work! Sprint HAS NO PLANS IN ANY FORM OR WAY TO INCREASE THEIR WIMAX 4G NETWORK! They are coming out with LTE phones for a reason. because they are stupid and don't know how to run a company. Other companies LTE networks were LARGER than Sprints ON THEIR FIRST DAY TURNED ON!

I had the same problem when i first got my Evo and I was pissed, when I called Sprint, we went through all kinds od procedural BS, but after a month of calls to Sprint and HTC, we came to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue and could not be repaired, so they gave me a new phone. Then I was getting 5 Mb per second. I advise you to let Sprint know and do not give up, they will replace your phone with whatever you want, make sure to let them know how pissed you are, it helps

[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
while everyone aside from this thread realizes 4G in this world is a marketing term, thats beside the point.

the real discussion here should be about WiMAX and how it compares to LTE & HSPA+ (other marketing 4G technologies)

WiMAX will never be what LTE is, especially 700mhz LTE(vzw). The ability of 700mhz penetration is incredible, so even when Sprint's LTE network drops, the coverage wont be as good as verizon due to wavelength & frequency reasons. (vzw has nationwide 700mhz license)

I think Sprint is delaying its WiMAX deployment intentionally because they realize its fubar. Their part ownership of Clear accelerated this crap of a 4G network.. but at the same time they dont want to spend money when they realize its not going to get them anywhere.

I'm 3 hours from KC, Sprint HQ... we dont have WiMAX here yet & its the biggest city in Kansas. Yet last thursday, Verizon powered up their LTE network here in town. VZW LTE users are getting around 20mbit aggregate, something we'd NEVER see on WiMAX.

Regardless of all this, WiMAX is a dead end road, has been since its inception.. understand the technology & get over it, change carriers whatever floats your boats.
[EVO 4G General] Smidley:
I've heard something about Sprint moving towards an LTE-type technology. Is this true?

Also, no 4G here between Milwaukee and Chicago. I've heard recently that they are deploying in Milwaukee, but it is spotty at best.

I'm in Columbus Ohio a 4g city and while most of town can pick it up I can't pick up 4g at my house.

I have stood outside with my phone in the middle of street with my EVO but no luck. I know have the HTC view tablet and no luck with it working on 4g either. I wish Sprint and Clearwire would fix this. I even get mail from Clear about using their internet but not going to go with company that can't get 4g on my street.

I live in Dallas, TX as well and i can't connect to save my life. When i fire up the 4G radio it simple rotates from Searching for signal, Connection to Sprint, Disconnection from Sprint. But it never actually connects. Completely worthless.

Whatsapp is working on my NC.

I have just installed Whatsapp on my NC and Whatsapp is working. I have a rooted HTC Desire running MIUI and a NC also running MIUI.

I have Whatsapp running on my HTC Desire.

This trick works for me.

Make a backup of Whatsapp from your phone with MIUI Backup. Backup of the System is not necessary and also the rest of the apps. You can find the backup on your phone's sd card in the folder MIUI-Backup-Allbackup- for example 2011-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

Copy this folder 2011-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx to your NC's sd card into the folder MIUI-Backup-Allbackup

Then you have to restore Whatsapp on your NC. Go to MIUI backup, select the folder 2011-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, select Whatsapp and click on Restore.

Start Whatsapp and voila :).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
But they're not running MIUI... so that won't work for them....

I guess my first question would be WhatsApp Messenger or WhatsApp Wallpaper?

You might wanna try to use my IMEI generator and see if that makes a difference... wouldn't be the first app we came across that needed one of those ;)

I just installed WhatsApp Messenger on my NC and it ran... it sent verification message to my cell number.
