lol anyone else will to try it too? it took me 3 hours last night to get all my apps back and get my phone back the way it was. Anyone in to help the team?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kendall316:
also a thought on that note. what if you did it with the back off? the back has the antenna built in so if its off and you dont have any signal would that also work?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kendall316:
damn it. I just tried it. i had the back off so there was no signal so i dont think it completed the update but i still have 2.3.3 if anyone wants to try the static bag thing be my guest.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kendall316:
It just says "updating software information from verizon". with the back off. i tried pulling the battery during it and restarting but it still does it again when booted back up
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
Are you sure it went back to 2.2? If it came with gingerbread maybe the update is the second gingerbread update pushed OTA.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kendall316:
yeah it musta been the 2nd update. Did it again without programming the phone or anything and it still says 2.3.3. but idk if that verizon update is going through or not cause it doesnt say completed or not
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mastaworm:
I had this theory earlier too. Whatever update this is, it's stored in memory somewhere rather than being downloaded. I'm in Abu Dhabi, no way Verizon is doing anything to my phone over the air. :P
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
Mine came with 2.2 stock but I am almost certain when the update is done to 2.3, all the 2.2 information is overwritten and/or deleted. I'll give it a whirl later when I get home to see if it works but I am almost certain its a nogo off the bat.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
Survey says no good... GOTTA rebuild my phone now...
[EVO 4G General] rruss:
I am aware that the devs are hard at work to find a root method for og evo users and they will most likely find one but just out of curiosity what would you do a root wasnt found? Would you get a new phone? What phone would you get would you buy a rooted phone off craigslist?
[EVO 4G General] iwin2000:
yes, if a sprint phone comes out that would be worth upgrading to and has root, I would be inclined to do so.
[EVO 4G General] 14u2c:
I wouldn't because its still a excellent phone for everyday usage ..

Sent from my OG EVO....
[EVO 4G General] aceruano:
I ve been looking @ this photon. Not a bad phone and has been rooted. I would switch
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I know that this question has already been asked before, but I am too lazy to search for the thread.

No, I would not go out of my way to upgrade and/or replace my phone just because it doesn't have root unless an easy way to do so presented itself. I would prefer to have a rooted phone, but since I will likely be waiting for a new generation (i.e. not this current refresh cycle, including the EVO 3D, Photon 4G, etc.) of phones before I do a replacement, any new phone I get will probably not be rooted right away (or if I get an iPhone, the issue becomes moot) so it makes no difference to me.

If I get an Android phone the next go-round, it will almost certainly be an HTC. Aside from the fact that I just like their form factor and think they make quality phones, they seem to have the support of a large portion of the dev community so whatever the FOTM HTC phone is will be what I get.
[EVO 4G General] decayer177:
That Photon looks pretty fancy.
[EVO 4G General] xsisbest:
My wife got the photon and it just seems generic to me. All the widgets are plain Jane...I guess I've just grown acustomed to sense..
[EVO 4G General] EVOlvedAndroid:
No because coming soon at htcdev.com they will ave an unlocked bootloader webbased tool
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Which is already confirmed to not currently support the EVO 4G, nor is there a projected timeframe for when it might. Most of us assume it never will, because HTC wants to encourage people to upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
Nope! cuz I waited for a long ass time to get this phone and regardless if there's root or not my phone is still the **** and compared to a blackberry...Mmmhmm Naaw I don't think so I'll die before I go back to that

[EVO 4G General] Nick N:
Nah, I just got this phone at the end of June when Sprint was allowing 2 year upgrade resets. LauncherPro Plus allows me to hide the bloatware in the app drawer, and it runs really smooth for being stock.

If I get bored I could always activate the HTC Touch or Touch Pro, I regret trading in my Moment though; Still quite a bit of development going on with it.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I have actually been honestly taking a hard look at their newest QNX operating system and thinking about whether or not that would be something I could see myself moving towards. I have a BB for work and while it's substandard compared to my EVO (a lot of the reason is that the BES settings for government phones are very restrictive and lock out a lot of features) there are some things that just can't be beat about it. For example, I haven't plugged it in to charge it for three days and it's still got almost 75% of its battery left, and I get a lot of emails and phone calls at work.

I don't know. It would be a hard sell, but I have been thinking about it.
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
Oh man the battery life on those things are ridiculously good my pearl was a soldier lol I dropped it in 3 different types of liquid :drunk: 3 times the damn thing came back to life with the rice trick lol

Yeah, my BB is a trooper; been carried around the house by a great dane with no negative impact.
[EVO 4G General] bcarter2000:
I'm keeping the Evo until I am eligible for an upgrade, or it dies.

If it goes the way of the dodo, I would probably go back to my hero, until the next HTC phone comes out.
[EVO 4G General] rruss:
I personally would go get a evo3d or epic touch i used to not b into all this rooting and flashing roms but i love trying to find the next new tweak to make my phone more powerful damn you xda!!! damn you!! Haha jk

[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
I think a lot of people on this site don't face the issue you do since they've been active on the site and didn't foolishily upgrade to the latest OTA when it came out.

I think it's safe to say the majority of the people here in the EVO section still have root ;)
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I didn't take the OTA, I had to get my phone replaced. Your attitude is unwarranted.
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
well be more careful with your phone then ;)
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Wow because hardware failure is our fault. You tard.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
In fairness, I ran over my own phone with my car. So I am kind of a tard in my own right. However, I am a fool in that I let my phone slip out of my pocket and then ran it over with a Toyota Yaris, not because I accepted the OTA.

You can decide for yourself which is worse. :p
[EVO 4G General] airalcorn2:
If the OG EVO doesn't have root by the time the next Nexus device comes out I'm jumping ship. My original EVO started having random reboots in June so I had to get a replacement. I really miss being rooted and flashing ROMs (particularly CM7).
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
I say you drivin a Yaris lol I'm kiddin bro I'm kiddin lol

Sent from my Vanilla Ice Cream evO²·³·³
[EVO 4G General] fergie716:
LMAO. I'd rather take the OTA than drive a Yaris
[EVO 4G General] angrymanhands:
I'll be switching to the next Nexus, whatever and whenever that may be, and probably sticking with the Nexus line from then on. I've even considered getting a Nexus S 4G just because I'm so disappointed in htc right now.

My phone continously random reboots, and I've had it replaced three times. Locked bootloader! Sure, eventually they may provide an unlock service via web tool, but you will have to voluntarily void "parts or all of your warranty".

They have left a bad taste in my mouth.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Room for the kid and great gas milage. So bite me! ;)
[EVO 4G General] AA27:
I am about to jump ship myself, dunno if getting the Nexus or the EVO Shift, but this root for the EVO 4G is taking too long. I love the phone but without root and being able to flash/update the phone is not the same. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] someonenewhere:
I'm keeping my EVO 4G and it's unrooted...got the best app that saves me battery through out the day! thank you Juice Defender!
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Lol green power is way better than juice defender, however, its not as popular....
[EVO 4G General] someonenewhere:
Green Power still has alot of issues, that's why I bought Juice Defender Ultimate ...

no issues and it's a big time battery saver...
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Absolutley no issues at all for me on neither my epic nor my evo... epic i get about 26 hours of medium use, evo i get about 16... its really. good.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I wouldn't cuz I have root. :p

Though in seriousness, if I didn't have root, I would hold onto the phone because its still pretty decent out of the box. I'd hold out for the galaxy S II.
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
Lol yeah I'd take the Yaris if gas keeps goin the way its goin but for now...I'll jus be quiet cuz Carnage is a peace keeper lol

[EVO 4G General] Zori:
I haven't been around these forums for a while, so I'm hoping someone can explain to me what's going on. From my understanding, those who got a replacement recently are stuck with a new hardware which we don't have a root method for yet? When did this new hardware come out? Is this the only hardware version that they give out now? Oi oi oi..
[EVO 4G General] rruss:
I also didnt "foolishly" take the ota i got a new evo and it came shipped with 2.3 and it seems to me that there are also alot of people who dont have root on this site for whatever reason and good for you if you still have root but who the hell r you to sit here and call peoples decision making foolish? u dont know anyones situation except your own

I just got my phone repaired by HTC for a dead cell on the screen. I sent it to them with HBOOT .93. I get a refurbished phone back with HBOOT 2.16 and 4.24 :unamused: I still wouldn't purchase another phone though. Paying full price for a phone is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.

I would never cheat on my EVO. Maybe only with another EVO. Hahaha.
[EVO 4G General] Sleestax:
I won't for a couple of reasons. The first is that the market is catching-up with the features I wanted from root. Skype literally just released an android version that supports FFC video chat. So I'm good there (sorry google Talk, you let Sprint/HTC f**k you). The only feature left, that I want, is a netflix/hulu client. After that, I'm good.

Reason #2 - my contract isn't up for a year.

Reason #3 - There is nothing out there so significantly better than the OG Evo that I need to upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] sybrca69:
Lol I was thinking about it but I think the EVO is the best phone out there now so its a keeper root or no root
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Hulu and Netflix are fully-supported on the EVO 4G running stock. I have both on my phone and they work great.

EDIT: Both downloaded from the Market, I should add, not installed from apks.

Well, it finally happened. My wife asked me a few weeks ago about getting a third phone line so that she could have a phone for her animal rescue work. I checked it out and found out I could get a free Nexus S 4G with a new phone line, so I took the plunge. She's taking my EVO for her rescue stuff and I have the Nexus.

No more waiting for root for me; she won't let me play with the EVO once it's hers.

[EVO 4G General] scriptx:
You've got to admit.. the Evo is still a great phone. I think there'd be a huge market for an EVO2, same body.. just upgraded hardware. Unfortunately, two situations are occurring.. stock & updated users can no longer root, and devices given to us as refurbished through TEP are updated, and can also not be rooted. This is the situation I find myself in: my USB port is broken and I cannot charge the device.. but any replacement will be unrootable in the near frame.. so instead I now own 2 chargers and 4 batteries (awesome deals on ebay, btw).

Aside from the Evo's EOL (end of life), for many of us, Sprint's data coverage is less than satisfactory, especially if/when compared side-by-side to Verizon. I, for one, am in the market for an Evo-like device that's unlockable, sports the dual-core processor and dedicated GPU. The Motorola Photon looks great, but this does not resolve any service issues :)

Long live the Evo!
[EVO 4G General] calypso888:
In a heart beat. This phone has been nothing but a headache since the 31st day after I got it, and sprint just keeps sending me home. I have a HUGE 3g radio problem and all they tell me is my phone is running to many apps or my task killer is messing it up( I don't have a task killer, I have "see pu" and "juice defender"). My wife has the same phone n hers has faster 3g than her 4g. I can barely load a web page with my 3g.... Metro pcs went faster than this ****

[EVO 4G General] nealwheels:
I did switch from my OG and bought the Evo 3D the first day it came out, because I was so obsessed with having the newest Evo that hit the market. However, once I got it I quickly realized that it wasn't the same (or better) than the Evo 4G. The screen is skinnier, making it impossible to type a "P" using Swype becuase I "Fat Finger" the keyboard, and I hate that damn locking ring. Radio sucks too.

I'm sticking with the Evo 4G, until something really cool comes out.

Can't stand the Photon either. It feels too cheap"

I thought about that, but after going through their "app world" (more like an app backwater town) I realized that they were never going to have the application penetration that Android and iOS have. I already had to wait for almost a year between my iPhone and moving to Android before I had Netflix again. I am not going through that with yet another ecosystem.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hygge:
Interesting, I find .368 to consume much less battery than the old .145. The battery consumption in standby is close to being equal but out of standby it is much improved.

My kids when using drawing programs consumed around 25-30% an hour and my system panel showed temperatures around 45-47 celcius, it was very hot to touch. On .368 it only consumes around 10% per hour when using drawing programs and temperature stays below 35 celcius :) Wifi power consumption has also dropped significantly, it was not unnormal for me to have wifi consuming 30% of the battery, now it stays below 5%.

I love the new .368 :) I have no task managers or any other app running in the background and my phone stays cool. It would quickly rise up to 40 celsius just by looking at the home screen on .145 :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesho Arc:
It's the otherwise for me, when it's on standby it loses 1% every 30-40 mins, when im using thr phone it loses 4-9% every 10 mins of using, the battery lasts 17 hours, some day it reached 22 hours.

now im on .145 FW, 15 hours & the battery is on 51% which a huge improvement.
