[HTC EVO 3D] Outer Marker:
OK, I've had it with my Photon and I'm inside my 30 days. I'm coming over to the Evo 3D this week. I'll be dealing with my local Sprint store...

With all that said, what can I do to make sure I don't get a device with HBOOT 1.5 or with the latest OTA already applied? I plan on telling the rep to activate but absolutely nothing else. No updates, nothing. Is it safe to sign into my Google account? They seem to like me to do that when I get a device. Is that part of activation?

Are there any Sprint reps out there on the forum that can tell me if the phones are still on the shelf with the old software? Have I missed the boat? I'm feeling like I fell for a slut (Photon - sexy but no substance), but my marriage material (Evo 3D) is now in bed with some HBOOT 1.5 douche. Damn!

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Outer Marker:
Bump... Seriously, no advice on this? I would have thought there would have been a few more people in the same boat...
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
signing into your google account won't trigger any OTA updates.

cell phone retailers do like you to sign into your google account, but that is not part of the official sprint network activation. signing into your account generally brings your contacts over which is part of their informal device transition process to prevent you from coming in later all angry you don't have your contacts. or if it doesn't bring any contacts over, they know to transfer them over from your previous device.

if you don't want to sign into your google account, try it a few times on the phone with the wrong password and say oh weird, cant remember my password at the moment. will have to do it when i get home.

hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
They shouldn't sign in to any Google accounts and is NOT part of the initial activation. The part of getting a phone with an older hboot is something you can't help. Once that box gets cracked open the phone is yours. Unless you ask to look through refurbished phones. The odds of getting a phone with a newer hboot is slim anyway. Try asking the rep to give you a phone from the old stock if possible, he would probably wonder why just tell them that's your personal preference. Or once the the phone gets out the box tell them you want to inspect it because you read that the EVO3D had a lot of hardware issues. From there instantly shoot to the settings and check to see if it has 2.3.3. If so your all good to go.

if you browse for the items and use the old part numbers, they will be full price. The reduced price ones have a different part number and show up as 99 and 149 respectively. But right now they said their site is down for maintenence.

Well I finally saw on B&N where they officially canceled my order. I just now -- literally 5 minutes ago -- successfully completed an order on erwincomp.com, so we'll see how that goes. I even splurged for super-fast shipping, under the assumption that they're lining up orders based on ship date, not order time.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bookofsand:
Hi, Android n00b here. Looking at getting an Android tab -- wife has an iPad, I have an iPhone, but I am sick of the iOS walled garden.

A major thing that I want to use my tablet for is playing videos out to a projector, for shows that I do. It's important to me to be able to do these 2 things:

1. Play a playlist of videos in order, without further prompting once it starts.

2. Transition between videos cleanly and seamlessly -- no player controls or tablet home screen visible, even for a second. Nothing but black in between vids.

I've already got my mind pretty much made up about which tablet I'm getting... but I'm not ready to buy until I know there are apps that can meet those 2 requirements.

I've been told that the Dice, MX, and Mobo players will NOT do both of the things I'm looking for. I've gotten reports that Act1 can use playlists... but I haven't been able to find out anything about what the transitions between videos on a playlist look like.

Can anyone recommend a video player that has playlists, and transitions cleanly between videos?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bookofsand:
UPDATE: I am hearing elsewhere that the Act 1 player may do everything I want. Haven't had a chance to try it out (since I don't have an Android device yet).

[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I was just browsing my SD card with astro trying to see if I could account for all the gbs I've used ...anyways I come across a folder titled bookmarks_thumb1 ..I go in and there is hundreds of screenshots of websites I have been to ...i looked at a couple and sure enough I came across private emails as well passwords etc...what worried me the most was a.shot of my bank account after I had already logged in which in this case didnt show much but what is it would of took a shot while I was at a sensitive page?

I'm not a worrying type but this unsettles me..can anyone explain this to me..why are they there? Can I erase the whole folder? Anyone can get into these files rather easily if they got ur phone but even worse where are these images being sent ?
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
You can erase it without problems and those thumbs pics are from when you go to windows ( pinching out to see what windows you have open ) that's why they made, if you want to use another browser and you won't see them
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
There are also.pics of inside apps..that has nothing to do with the browser..I googled it and i was reading something about sense UI tracking info on the Droid incredible.. I.dunno..I.don't understand why they are saved into my SD card..I.don't use any bookmarks except for 3 and don't really understand what you mean..I know when you pinch out you see the preview of other pages but why arent they cached..won't this folder get huge over time?
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
It will get big but it erased them after a while from what I seem, mm this been in the iPhone for a while but you have no way to access it (there was in story about how they caught someone cause he had an iPhone and it will take screenshots not only from web browser but dialer and other crappy) if you scared of this situation I would recommend you getting a dumbphone or so, I'm not being rude is just that how tech works I guess, yeah those tabs the little screen shot is not live is just a screenshot and the pics well it those pic thumbnails too, idk why would they be there but there is another folder as well
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Go to CDMI and .thumbnails folder you will see all your pics, and that's what you see when you go to the gallery , same thin in your pc/laptop you will get something like that as well
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
I don't know if i will call it conspiracy but this just sounds like the behavior of any desktop computer which pretty much does the same thing if you know where to look. But you could go to the browser and in the search box type about:debug, then go to settings scroll all the way down and uncheck enable cache. You have to redo it everytime you close your browser though.

i have one or two questions about custom roms and kernels, i was planning on making my own untill i found out how useful some of the app on the Stock S2 can be.

First of all i was wonder is there is a way to get polaris office on a custom rom, like does come in the rom its self or is it part of the kernel. Cause i do like that program very useful.

Second i am wondering about wifi-sharing the thing eats up battery fast, problem is i aint using my phone as a mobile hotspot and it just randomly starts up, so if i were to make a new rom would i be able to get rid of wifi sharing completely,

All other are welcome to ask any other question like these regarding the S2.

These rumors leaked out back in March of this year and it now looks like Sprint is well into it already. The only obstacle I can see so far is the T-Mo ATT merger but the idea is to replace the equipment on those old Nextel towers which ride the 800 MHz frequency with LTE.

Seriously though, I am more interested in Sprint getting their CDMA radios upgraded and on the new frequencies for the better building penetration and coverage. 4G is still a "nice to have"with no practical purpose as long as 3G is working okay.

Hey guys found a way to unbrick Samsung droid charge and revert back to stock.

1. Download and install Odin found here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1085190 ) unzip and open

2.Download this file and unzip ( CI510_VZW_EE4_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL1014954.tar.md5.7z) from here ( http://www.multiupload.com/6WJ2SFUKO6 ) or original thread where i found this file is from here ( http://androidflip.com/android-2-3-...are-on-samsung-droid-charge-installing-guide/ )..

In case it fails and it just keeps failing try this other file is not stock but it is 2.3.4 and it works great here is a link to find the file ( http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5PUB8UY7 ) and it also find a mirror download here ( https://rapidshare.com/#!download|9...ar.md5.7z|391371|RapidPro expired. (34fa3175) ) i tried it guys and it does work.

3. set phone to download mode, do this by taking battery of phone, plug phone into computer and hold Volume down, a Yellow triangle with a working android will appear.

4. Click on odin you will see your phone come up under ID:COM, now do not click on anywhere but on PDA thats where you will have to find the file you downloaded on step 2 and make sure is the unzipped file. once u find it, click on open then start.

5. Be patient this can take up some time, once is done the box will turn green and say pass, at this time your phone will no longer have the Yellow triangle and you can unplug and place the battery back in and turn phone on.. once again be patient when turning phone on it will take a little while to complete.

i tried this and it does work, my Droid charge was bricked and now it works.

Thanks to xda-developers where i was able to find odin and also thanks to androidflip.com where i was able to find the Droid Charge stock rom to flash it back using odin.

Hope this helped everyone needing help.
