[HTC EVO 3D] ZachPA:
Dear Dan,

When the EVO was released in June 2010, I happily ported my number to Sprint. I was happy about the plans, pricing, amenities and service. I felt like Sprint was a superior carrier because not only was the service good, but it didn't make me feel like I was being shaken down for cash at every turn. I should've known that the honeymoon wouldn't last.

Last summer, your 3G data stream regularly hit 1.2 Mbps for me, and I was happy. As if someone in Overland Park flipped a switch, my 3G speeds dropped like a rock last autumn. Now, I'm lucky if I can get 150 kbps any time of day, any day of the week.

But what about 4G, you may ask? What a great idea that WiMax is. Too bad you chose the absolutely worst frequency possible for the technology. At 2.5 GHz, you might as well be broadcasting 4G from a set of bongos; the signal will likely travel further. And besides, the WiMax technology in use now is set up more like a WiFi and not a true cellular network.

When I am at home and at work, I usually force roam to Verizon towers so I can get a signal better than -103 dbm. Rarely do I get a signal higher than -100 on Sprint towers in either location, yet when I force roaming to VZ towers, the signal is a strong -84 (+/- 5 dbm). There are so few places that Sprint signal strength beats VZ. I fully understand that -100 is suitable for a call; this isn't the old analog days. But, like any other signal, if I move in one direction by six inches, it could drop to -110 and there goes the phone call. I don't expect -60 dbm, especially inside a building, but it would be nice to take a call without worrying about it dropping.

Strangely enough, though, I could live with those issues. I could live with the premium data charge. I could deal with the silly regulatory charge. I can deal with Sprint Premiere being hosed and then completely abandoned. I use WiFi a lot, so I can even deal with the poor 3G speeds sometimes. But mark my words, because if Sprint caps regular data after you went on TV to rail against the other carriers doing the same, I will drop Sprint instantly. Money is not the issue for me. Quality of service and *perceived value* are. There's no value in a service that doesn't work.

Also, please stop telling me that you love me and I only have xxx days until I can upgrade. It's creeping me out.

Sincerely,

ZachPA

I agree word for word 100% with this
[HTC EVO 3D] barleydude:
So what's the best way to track your usage? Im guessing when one hits that 5gb cap, sprint will begin the overage charges without notification.

You probably get a text msg

Im gonna have to agree with chris44gw completely on this one.
[HTC EVO 3D] pixiedust7976:
You know, this is precisely why I hate the iPhone sooo much. Right now though, we shouldn't have to worry about them capping the data on our phones, as right now that is Sprint's niche in the market. BUT, after the iPhone releases on the Sprint netowrk, I could possibly see them doing exactly as Verizon did, and start capping. When the iPhone came to Verizon, they used to have true unlimited as well, but as soon as that P.O.S. iPhone went onto their network, boom, capped data plans. I have many friends that have the iPhone, and state how it's the greatest phone on the Earth, and my comment t them is obviouslly you have never had an Android. The iPhone is for trendy people, and I always refer to them as sheep. The Android devices are for the power users who actually use their phones for all they are worth. I was challeneged when I briefly went to T-Mobile to "just try the iPhone" and I did, and I hate it more now than I hated before having it in my possesion. You add a contact on your iPhone and if you don't sync it to your computer at the end of the night and you have to restore your phone, guess what? That contact is long gone. There are so many reasons why I hate that phone, and the capped data is another reason alongside my ever growing list of reasons to hate the iPhone.And losing Sprint premiere status on to and I lose my yearly upgrade?!?!? Come on Sprint, wtf were you thinking? Thank God I am rooted so I will never have to worry about the5GB caps. I actually have a ad on Craigslist for unlocking iPhones and rooting Evo's and Epic's and the Evo 3D's and the Evo's with 2.3.3, and I would much rather root a Sprint phone than deal with that P.O.S. iPhone because it takes way longer to do an iPhone than to root an Android device.

End rant.... lol
[HTC EVO 3D] churro7:
Once sprint brings caps off to vz I go unless the cap is high

Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed
[HTC EVO 3D] pixiedust7976:
And that is why I have root on my phone and have the wireless tether so I can root and unlock, because I am not paying 29.99 a month when sometimes I might have one phone job in a week or I could 6 in a day, and I just don't want to pay Sprint 29.99 when I only use it when I meet people in public to take caare of their phones. It's not steady enough to justify that 29.99 fee. Plus, I am already paying for unlimited data so why would I pay 29.99 more a month on a capability my phone already has and is using something that is already built into the phone, the modem and the data. So my opionion, it's not stealing, it's getting what you are already paying for.

End rant again....lol
[HTC EVO 3D] migpol08:
I agree with you! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
You do know android users use more data right ? And the iPhone was in ATT for 3 years when they start capping , same goes for Verizon LTE devices ate the ones that are using more data , I had an iPhone and barely use 2gb with the thunderbolt I started using 5gb+ and with my EVO 3d 3-4gb , so if you want to blame it on something blame it on smartphones like android , Idk why people just assumes iPhone does everything, btw I'm a iPhone owner as well, and android and iPhone both got their ups and downs

from my shooter rocking myns ROM :P
[HTC EVO 3D] DJ1994:
The iPhone might not use more data individually but its all the people who normally wouldn't have a smart phone now using the data. Here's two gigs there's two gigs. Androids are more the people that would have smartphones anyway. The 4g argument is invalid as well as your on a separate network that doesn't bog down the more used network.

boom!! from my shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
If they cap data. I'm gone. Period. But I can't complain a whole lot because where I live I get amazing reception and data speed, wimax and 3g both

i have transferred 21gb over the hot spot is is not being throttled on 3g , 4g i have no idea what clear is doing but shortly it wont matter. so i have no idea what your seeing but its not throttled the software is not even there to do this on the backend
[HTC EVO 3D] tech7:
I also have notice slow speeds on 4g lately even right under the tower so sprint must have been doing the wimax wave 2 hopefully

(Im using an HTC Sensation, Rooted with InsertCoin ROM, incase that has anu effect)

What is the best, lag free way to record me android phone's screen? Would the Android SDK be the best, or is there a neat program out there?
[General Questions and Answers] werkx:
since you are rooted, there are many free apps in the market for you to choose from. personally, i've used shootme, but that's been a while ago.
[General Questions and Answers] DaClowns:
Solved! I ended up finding an app for $2.99 called ScreenCast. It records with NO lag at all and SUPER high quality, I highly recommend!

There is a free version, however it only records up to 30 seconds of footage, so it is like a testing version.

SCREENSCAST!
[General Questions and Answers] werkx:
Ah, didn't know you wanted ability to record video playing on your device. Glad you found something and thanks for sharing. I'll have to check it out, too.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
ShootMe has screencasting available. It disappeared from the market, but I have the apk if anyone wants it. It was/is a free app.

I'll note that the fps are pretty low on ShootMe, don't know about the app you mentioned.

how can I remove the yellow triangle after an overclock samsung galaxy s2

already tested procedures available on the site but decided not = [
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
I don't understand, have you actually followed the procedures outlined on the forum or not? You last sentence is as clear as mud.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupraN0va:
if you want to remove the triangle there is already a thread about this(search function),

btw-->no yellow triangle, no overclock.

whats your problem with the triangle you only see it when booting, in my case never.

regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitrius:
If you remove the yellow triangle you can't overclock you say?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
The yellow triangle has nothing to do with overclocking. It simply means you've flashed a non-official firmware to your phone. There's plenty of instructions in the development forum how to remove it, if you don't want to shell out the couple of quid on a jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
I dont know why people are so freaked out about a little yellow triangle you only see for 5 seconds when you turn your phone on.Who cares,its got nothing to do with how your phone works.If your worried about going through all the worries of following instructions to get rid of it here in XDA then buy a jig on e-bay for 2 bucks and your done.Just like johnsens baby shampoo "No More Tears".:)

Hi,

As far as I'm aware,it needs to be cycled three,maybe four times before it settles down.

Keep charging and discharging to get the benefit.

The other thing of course is,how much do you use it,and what are you running on your phone?

:)
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
Lol I know I am not using it that much. Thanks so much for the response

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
Watch for auto sync applications, I had an issue with an app that was just constantly connected and syncing and kept the phone awake, phone died in less than 7 hours, disabled sync for that app, and now I get plenty of life out of it. The above guy is right though, you do need to do several cycles of fully discharge, fully recharge (and by fully discharge I mean the phone should not respond to the power button, it should be completely dead, and by fully charge, you should leave it on the charger for at least an hour, maybe two, past the green light to ensure it really is fully charged.)
[EVO 4G General] Blipstein:
I have dont it before but now I cant find it. I dont want the phone to go into "car mode" as soon as I plug it into the car dock. Where do I turn this off?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] mystery_tx_man:
I had this same problem a couple of months ago. I changed out my sdcard and that fixed the car mode problem. if you have a spare one around from a camera or something, you should give it a shot.
[EVO 4G General] Blipstein:
Hmmm......weird
[EVO 4G General] MultiDev:
There is a setting for this in the settings menu.

Goto Settings -> Dock -> Uncheck 'Auto-Launch'.

This assumes you are using a Sense based ROM.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
i read some where that if your phone does this then there is problem with the usb port and this may be a "known defect" thats covered under warranty.

Been looking for that for a while. No go

USB Port Issues.

My Evo was just replaced due to this USB port problem. The first time I had it in they cleaned the port out and it worked for a few weeks. The problem also shows when speakerphone defaults to on at the start of every call and then moves on to battery charging problems.
[EVO 4G General] mutepoint:
I have been dealing with this problem for sometime now. The last time I went in to the Sprint store they said if the problem persists, that they would replace it. Well I got used to turning off speakerphone for the last three months, but now I'm having charging problems.

So I went into the Sprint Store today and they completely ignored the car mode/speakerphone problem and placed the phone on a charger and announced that it was charging fine. I told them that the charging was intermittant and dependent on the placement of the jack. They then asked if they could keep my phone to see if it would accept a full charge un-interupted and I said sure but I would have to activate my backup phone to use in the meantime. They said no-can-do the EVO must stay activated to be serviced. I then asked if the far-mode/speakerphone problem wasn't enough to verify USB problems. They replied that's a known problem which is easily cured with a hard reset. I told them to go ahead and hard reset the phone then... They did... Problem persisted, and they gave me back the phone and told me they had no authority or desire to replace the phone. They told me I should take it up with Sprint on the phone. They are a Sprint corporate store and service center located at the Town Center Mall in Port Charlotte, Florida.

I'm almost at the place where I would just rather re-activate an old phone rather than spend forever on hold talking to "hard to understand" Indian people.

Edit 10/5/11; I obtained a T5 Torx screwdriver, and a can of compressed air. I then opened up the phone and took off the red back plate. I thoroughly blew out the insides - paying particular attention to the USB port and everything is fine now. Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
One of the most important things to me about my phone is stability. I've tried many ROMS, especially with Gingerbread being widely available for our phones now, and some of them were very nice, but I've yet to find a ROM more stable and reliable than the old leaked Froyo ROM from August 1st, 2010, of which I am currently running a very highly modified version of. I had been bouncing back and forth between different ROMS, but lately I havent really had the time. Today I occurred to me that I have not had any reboots, lockups, freezes... anything, in a long time. Checked my uptime and I'm at almost 500 hours...

and I USE my phone quite a bit. I have almost 100 apps installed, so I'm not one of those "just use it for calls and texts" types...

so, post up people! anyone found a rock solid stable gingerbread ROM they love? show me some uptimes!

I'm the same way. Being on MIUI its too easy to change things so my phone is constantly rebooted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romsRfun:
I can't keep my system up time for more than a day with out changing the ROM. So far lately, I've been pretty happy with Nils 3.5 sense.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
I made it to 522 hrs... rebooted to test a different kernel. I don't know how you guys even keep your phones usable if you reflash your rom all the time. I've tried several ROMS but the goal was always to find one that everything worked and was stable to stick with. So far none of the gingersense ROMS fit that bill, except maybe the OTA, which is to similar to Froyo to really justify updating as of yet.

This flashable script will try to check and fix filesystem errors in your ext and fat32 partitions. The repair on fat32 may not be robust, but at least you will be alerted to any potential issues and can then run a dosfsck/chkdsk to fix issues,

This was created for my SuperNova Rom which uses Data2sd, but can be used for any Rom which uses an ext4 partition.

Potential candidates are phones with new issues of Force closes appearing, which usually signify a partition corruption..

Report on the file system check and repair will be output to /sdcard/repairlog.txt

This could be a "must-have" tool for every sdcard. :)

It was there in Ultrakiller's quote.

e2fsck -afv /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
