I'm still not sure how tower proximity works, where I live I don't see any WiMax towers & I get the speed you see in my signature.

I heard you can get close up on it & still get only avg speeds. I don't know that for sure though.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
No, you're not alone. I enjoy the service too. With this phone, I don't have to mod the prl as much like I was forced to do with the Hero. When I get 4G, I'm content. When I don't, oh well.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I'v seen Sprint 3G hit 1.5 Mbps is just south of Cayce, SC. I was there and using my phone and I said "this ****'s snappy, wtf is going on" so I did a speedtest and that was why. Of all places I never thought that area would have such fast 3G. Perhaps it's because it's not as populated as Columbia/just outside Columbia. I consistently get 300 kbps or lower on Sprint 3G everywhere else, pretty pathetic.

As far as 4G goes, I've only used it 3 or 4 times, in Charlotte NC and Atlanta GA. I didn't have any problems getting it indoors either, maybe it's a highly saturated area and it wouldn't matter if you were in a building or not, not sure. Speeds weren't that great though. I probably only pulled 4-6 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload, still better than 3G though.
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
I've tried out 4G in many cities over the past year. It seems to work best when you're outside or near a window. If you're driving around, it's pretty spotty even in a 4G covered area. The signal just isn't strong enough to latch on nearly as much as 3G unfortunately.
[HTC EVO 3D] kannaguchio:
He's calling 4G "trash" because he can't experience it. And haven't you noticed that the majority of comments on a forum are biased because they're subjective opinion? What forum have you been to that has only fact based posts? What a stupid post.

To respond to the OP, WiMax is can be pretty crumby. I'm moving to Albuquerque where the WiMax coverage is strictly over Clear's spectrum, and when I visited it was damn terrible. I couldn't even get service. Not sure owning a 3D is worth a pointless $10 extra per month.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
The $10 isn't exclusive to the EVO 3D, a 3G smartphone has the same $10 tacked onto it.

It keeps our data unlimited so it does have a point.
[HTC EVO 3D] racemepls:
It def depends on where you're located...Here in Pittsburgh 4G exceeds acceptable . Luckily it penetrates my house and tether from it. It also seems like every month that goes by the signal improves. Thankfully cause 3g pretty much **** the bed here.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Are u sure about that..I have a family plan and the only phones that get charged the 10$ charge is my e3d and my sisters epic..the others have blackberrys and a hero..anyways I agree that I'd rather have an exceptional 3g network than a spotty 4G network..I supposedly live in a 4G area and to me its basically useless..I can pick it up in one specific spot in a parking lot in front of petsmart..if I go 100 yards away nothing...so everyone's experience may be different but mine is def not worth the 10 bucks..and it would not affect me at all if the EVO was a 3g only phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:

The 4G areas I have tried all work great, inside and outside, and I got up to 15mbps at my friends house in the downtown SLC area.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
You are. I bought the OG EVO on release day and the same with the 3D, in that time I've never once been in a 4G area. Fortunately 3G has been fine and most of the time I'm somewhere that I'm connected to WiFi but I'd still like to play around with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Hit or miss

I think that where you are sets the bar on how you 4g experience will be. I have been in Concord, San Fran, Oakland and San Leandro and had great 4g experience and super fast connection. Also if you are in a small pocket of 4g you might have everyone else and their mother trying to connect so speeds might be slow. I don't have 4g at my house but when I go to these areas with 4g I am never disappointing. I guess things are just better in Cali.;)
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Unfortunately it is not the 3d causing you the extra fee. All new smartphones will have this because data usage increases with these. I am getting my son the LG Optimus for free and it still has the $10 charge. If you want a phone that does it all, get used to this $10.
[HTC EVO 3D] heygrl:
Sprint decided, why not charge every smartphone this fee? Won't we get more money that way? That's why you're assessed the fee now on nearly every Sprint smartphone.

Note that they have had smartphones on the network for years. Has nothing to do with increasing usage as Sprint says they don't have capacity issues yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I'll never complain about the $10/mo as someone until a little more than a year ago paid twice that for the "privilege" of owning an iPhone. :rolleyes:

After seeing what 4G can(not) do though, I think Sprint would be really smart to just tweak the hell out of 3G. What's the theoretical max for 3G anyway? Is there one? I've seen numbers as high as 2Mbps. Seems like a good business decision to optimize 3G because it is an existing infrastructure. Tweak it to get the most out of it and it could be almost as good as 4G should have been without having to drop new towers all over the place.

[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
I can't get 4g at my house or at work. People with T-Mobile get it at both.

I just leave 4g off, since those are the only 2 places I would really need 4g.

ROFLMAO Poor Mike! Come on out to Vegas brother, I'm chillin indoors (With another floor above me even) on 4G using WiFi tether to type this on the laptop as I stream Netflix on the PS3... 4G WiMax is great, just depends on the city. Vegas, baby, Vegas!
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I want to see REAL 4G speeds. Like the standards called for in the beginning: 1Gb/s down and 500Mb/s up.
[HTC EVO 3D] fumus9:
4G is fine standing still, but even while running I'll drop 4G all the time in Vegas. Out here on Fort Apache.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
I live in the Vegas area and have good coverage everywhere. Even in buildings and corp offices. I guess it all depends...
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
Switch to att. Have 3G speeds faster than sprints 4g.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
We were early adopters for WiMAX. Unfortunately we won't be getting lte any time soon. Which basically means any new phone upgrade for us will basically be 3g only..
[HTC EVO 3D] karate134:
I'd have to second leaving 4g off. I lived in Saint Louis and while there is 4g, the connection is constantly disconnecting that it's really not even worth having on. Though if I somehow had a constant connection, the 8down is nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] heygrl:
WiMAX is garbage in Las Vegas. Can't see how others can claim otherwise. It might work great in your slice of the city, but go to the NW reigon. Try to use it in some of the suburbs, or apt complexes. Try 7 Hills, Try Anthem. Try Southern Highlands, Try Mountains Edge. Try keeping a 4G connection 100% of the time around the freeways. It's not possible. "Disconnected". 4G LTE from AT&T, and Verizon is better. 4G HSPA from T-Mobile is better. Hell I'm sure MetroPCS LTE has better coverage. Furthermore, when Clearwire was pushing their wack service hard in the valley, speeds were atrocious too. Customer defections and throttling have lightened the load on the WiMAX network though.
[HTC EVO 3D] i-l-l:
Wimax is better than Sprint's 3g here. That's why I won't jump ship to an LTE phone until LTE is actually in my city.

We were one of the first markets with Wimax less than a month after the Evo 4G was released. According to the LTE plans, we're not sniffing LTE this year but surrounding areas are getting it this year. I couldn't attempt to use my phone like I want with 3g only.

I also remember that you still have to pay that $10 add on fee for data even if you don't have LTE in your area.
[HTC EVO 3D] msimindlessmsi2:
Taken this afternoon, indoors, while taking a ****. I'm glad I'm in Houston as they are gonna roll out ICS here. Then I can start doing speed tests on LTE while I ****.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
Don't live so far off the strip ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
At the end of the day coverage is coverage a lot of these arguments can be made for 3g as well and other carriers for example if you walk into a.casino with tmobile you are almost guaranteed to loose all coverage in Vegas. So I wouldn't blame all your woes on WiMAX as a technology its really just how clearwire/ sprint implemented it in your specific area.
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
I get 2 bars of 4G and stay connected inside my apartment. It is really about location.
[HTC EVO 3D] nandroide:
i live next to a few towers 1.0MB/s Stable speeds/ sometimes 2.5MB/s burst... its pretty good but eventually the network just gets bogged down. and plus 2500mhz SUCKS ASS it has terrible penetration so thats why you're having a problem.. its not that 4g sucks but the wireless penetration is terrible... it's like being on a landline cordless phone standing about 100ft from your house lol, it just stops working after so much distance / concrete

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

btw cas, i'm in vegas aswell 4g here and there it's not as bad but it's all just a bunch of hype...
[HTC EVO 3D] catbert77:
I live in an area that doesn't "officially" have it yet, and as such does have some towers--but the coverage is very sketchy. Burst speeds are nice when you have the 4G connection, but I don't notice that latency that is that much better. I'm trying to figure out what people _need_ that speed for on a mobile device. How about have solid 3G coverage everywhere instead of dorking with new hardware for 4G?
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
It really does depend on where you live. I live in Oregon and most of the metro area has it. You don't always have to be outside... that is only when you get into the fringe areas of a 4G tower. I am able to mostly pick up 4G within a building and I average about 3Mb/s down. I have seen speeds upwards of 7Mb.

I think the adoption of LTE is going to bring us HUGE improvements over the next 2 years... since everyone is using it and it is a standard now.
[HTC EVO 3D] linty:
Yeah... When I worked for T-Mobile we'd say the same thing about "ANY" coverage... "Oh it's not guaranteed to work in a building". Thank GOD I don't work for that evil company anymore. When 3G was new it was the same thing... spotty coverage. It takes a while to build towers, but even in metropolitan areas (Philly) coverage isn't great everywhere.

You mean from /data/ to /system/ partition?

If so titanium backup pro can convert "normal" apps to "system" ones.

Also you could try copy .apk's to .zip file before flashing to /system/app/. (make sure they will fit there or you'll end up with bootloop)

In case the SD card isn't the issue, you can back up the recovery log to the SD card. I think it's under "other"... maybe?

Hello everybody,

I..am...retarded. I saw a lot of dust in my microphone port so naturally i got a can of compressed air to try to "fix" it. Well it broke my microphone, it still works but i would have to scream like a woman in a porno for anyone to hear me...not an option lol. So I'm running CM7 and I need a way to put everything as close to stock as possible so that the technician won't update my phone to the newest gingerbread update. I found THIS post but I don't know which one to install (being the noob that I am). I plan to uninstall ALL of the apps that require root permissions and back them up to my sd card...then install the stock ROM and hope and pray the technician doesn't see that i'm rooted.

So what do you guys think? is that enough to fool a technician? And what rom do i need to install? deodexed or odexed? and what's zip aligned?

Sorry for the noobiness but my mind has gone blank xP

thanks for all the help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
If you are S-OFF just flash a sense rom and let it ota update. If you used unrevoked to root your phone then the ota cannnot set it S-ON. Then take it in. When u get phone back flash a custom recovery and go from there. Also put in an old sd-card that has no signs of custom roms and such. That's what i would do
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StormMcCloud:
Honestly if I were you I would just use a bluetooth headset. If you return the phone to sprint you are going to be screwed over, for now at least, with the unrooted 2.3.3. Wait till they get a root for that, then get sprint to replace it.

Unless you get a mentally handicapped tech they will check to see if you have s-off. They see you do and you are screwed.

it only picks up your voice if you moan "OH GOD YES DEEPER!!"? lol joking aside.

your mic is built into your top panel. so replacing the phone is POSSIBLE, but check with your local sprint store and see if they can just replace the touch panel. thats what we do at my store. :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu3poptart:
Lmao xD nah the tech was too much of a lazy ass to do anything :/ so they just ordered a replacement. I sure as hell hope its not a refurbished with gingerbread. But I think that screwed xP

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
You can hope all you want, but you're gonna have GB on that phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
You can just take it in and they will usually just replace the mic, just let them know you don't want any software update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
You better be extremely adamant about not updating the OS. Like almost paranoid about it, people upfront often won't relay that info to the tech. I'd even put a mini post it on the battery or inside the back of the battery casing saying "DO NOT UPDATE SOFTWARE" or something of the likes. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu3poptart:
The sprint tech said he couldn't repair it but didn't give a reason. Since they are sending a replacement can't they just use the parts from that phone to repair mine and send back that phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu3poptart:
Well my replacement turned out to be S-OFF but I didn't find that out until i got my evo 3d and got home and checked xP. I figure I might mess with it for a while, keep it, or just sell it once cm7 comes out on the 3d (or a good stripped down sense version). So if anyone is interested in buying it, I'll provide some pics of the phone to show its S-OFF so you can know its legit.

OK, tell me if this is a pipe dream. I'm rooted and am pretty satisfied with the stock ROM plus bloat freezer to kill bloat. So starting with stock/root, if you simply do the OTA's as they are released here (and don't take them OTA), is it safe to just wipe cache and dalvik and then install the OTA as released here? Can you do that without a full factory reset? It would seem you should be able to: since you never have to factory reset when you take the actual OTA. Wasn't sure though.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
It depends if htc made changes to framework and such you might have, after the rooted version is release they will some developers that will check and hopefully let us know we got some in the evo that you really didn't need to wipe at all

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maidmarian4:
I never upgraded to the 2.2 because I have a Mac. However, I DID root my phone, and DID take OFF some of the ATT bloatware. I remember thinking that I'd found out how to put it all back on, but I haven't. I'm exchanging it for a new one as the speakers have gone wacky (turns on/off).

So, here is what I was planing on doing:

1. Hard reset the phone (I don't really care about backing up at this point).

2. Perhaps take my husband's unrooted and stock phone, and drag/drop the bloatware onto my phone while mounted??? Not sure if I can do this? Where to put the files?:confused:

3. Reboot. Hopefully see ATT bloatware arrive back on my phone. :eek:

So, here is what I think need to know:

1. Is there a better way to hard reset than going into privacy/factory data reset?

2. Does the hard reset remove all my Amazon apps so ATT doesn't see them?

3. How do I put the original bloatware back on?

4. Please don't tell me to "click this link" cause most likely I've read it, and it's not a CLEAR step by step.

5. A step by step guide (including, "plug in your phone, set debugging, pull up terminal, type ./adb, turn off your phone, etc.).
