[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PryorDaniel:
I'm trying to tether my Evo with my HP netbook that's currently running Blackbuntu which is a pen test distro based on Ubuntu 10.10 and using Wicd as my network manager. With the default network manager usb tethering worked "out of the box" but unfortunately I was unable to use WiFi with it which forced me to use Wicd. In order for Wicd to function properly I had to fully remove the original network manager. Now I can't figure out how to configure Wicd to work with tethering. Somewhere I read all I have to do is change the wired interface in Wicd from eth0 to usb0, or something along those lines, so I tried ifconfig to verify and nothing showed up other than eth0, lo, and wlan0 - the 3 that always show up. I can't seem to find the tethering tutorial I read before to double-check it. Any help/ideas would be great.

EDIT: I figured it out on my own. I just had a brain fart for a bit. For anyone wondering how to do it, here's how:

On your Evo open a terminal and do the following.

su

busybox ifconfig

Write down the IP address given.

Connect your phone to your Linux box and start USB Tethering.

On the Linux box open a terminal and type:

sudo ifconfig usb0 up

Open Wicd, click preferences, and change the wired interface to usb0. You may have to set DNS1 to the IP you copied earlier.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
I love the phone, but I find myself almost dropping the thing about 5 times a day due to the lack of grip.

Can anyone recommend a *skin* that improves the grip on the phone?

I'm not looking for a case as I don't want to increase the width of the phone. I was considering the skinomi skins but someone said in another thread that the carbon fiber skin was actually just as slippery as the back of the E4GT. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
honestly, you cant go wrong with this case. the grip makes it impossible to drop and its only $3.

i havent heard of any other good *skin* options, but this hybrid case barely adds any thickness. worse comes to worse, you would have thrown out $3, boo hoo.

that aside, i found ZAGG to be pretty grippy, but thats only because the quality is crappy. putting it on your screen sucks because theres so much resistance and eventually everything'll start discoloring and it'll start collecting dust on the edges - horrible, horrible experience. if you had the cash you could get a Steinhail Ultra Crystal (best of the best) for the display and ZAGG for the body.
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Just about to check out a sale with Gameloft, when I noticed that their selection for the Evo3D isn't that great.

I figured that I could click another phone that has the same chipset for a bigger selection. Something like the Sensation, since they're pretty much the same.

Anyone have experience with this? Buying and downloading a game for another phone, with no problems?

I guess the Sensation is the best to use, but has anyone tried using a different one? I think there are also a few older HTC models and Sony-Ericsson phones with similar Snapdragon SOCs no?
[HTC EVO 3D] 1107963:
I got these games working just fine on my device..

Nova 2 HD

9mm Hd

Rainbow Six HD v1.0.1

Assasin's Creed 3D v1.0.4 (I bought this one)

Modern Combat 2 v3.3.2

Fast 5 v1.0.3

Hawx v3.2.5

BackStab HD v1.2.2 (although some maps didn't work so I couldn't continue the game)

Some of these games are for HTC Desire I dint purchase any of those but the AC3D... and they work just fine.... the latest one I got was 9mm HD I believe it say it was for HTC Sensation...
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Thanks, so you downloaded the Desire and Sensation versions? Cool... But these are, ehm, from the eh, alternative market, yeah?
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
If you change the user agent on your phone to the user agent of the Sensation, you can trick Gameloft's site into thinking you actually have a Sensation, so you can download their games. Only do the Sensation since it's one of the few phones that has the same resolution as the Evo 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1107963:
Yeah I use some of the desire but know that I didnt purchase them so I had to download like 5 different apk for each game in order to find the one that work for me..
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Thanks!

You can do that in Opera, right? I use that browser to download, since my stock browser has some problems downloading stuff that I don't get in Opera.

BTW: You use Sprint, right? Do you know something called: "sai://Sprintinstaller"?

Cause I just tried to take advantage of Gamelofts 99 cents sale, and gave my location as US even though Im in Europe. (Sale was yanks only, apparently) That link game up to download the game, and I couldn't get it to work, so I guess they assumed I'm on Sprint? Which is why I couldn't get the download to work?

Sucks, cause now I have to download it through their website, but I guess that's the price of saving 4 dollars ;)

I've tried to take out the Sim card, and after 13hrs of normal use, mostly connected to wifi, my battery shows 67% remaining.

But when I put the Sim card back in, still on wifi, I don't even use 4g, still same usage, same location, after only 7hrs, my battery is at 35%, it takes so much more battery to receive a phone signal then surfing the Web or playing games, is it my phone that have a problem or is it normal?

7 hours to 35% with the phone mostly idle is a problem though. In that period of time I lose less than 10% in good signal and 20% in bad signal on Serendipity VII. CM7 would drop by 15-25% at most. (Not TO 15-25%, BY 15-25%, i.e. not going below 75%)

No clue why - probably a rogue app. No details as to which ROM he's using so I cant give more tips. If Gingerbread, Settings->About Phone->Battery Use can sometimes give useful info.

My question is this.... I see that I need a custom Kernel to OverClock past 1ghz but can't seem to find any for this device. Is it because I'm to use the A500 programs an apps because the specs are the same except the screen size? Or because there are non foor this device yet?

I've been holding off myself wondering the same. The hardware is very similar but as far as I've heard there have been no custom kernels and I'm too lazy to try the A500 ones out. I'd assume the difference in drivers/modules for the touch screen parts would bork ours or at least make it work poorly, could get a bluetooth mouth then I suppose...
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
The problem is that even though the A100 is rooted, the bootloader has NOT been unlocked so you can't flash any custom ROMs.

Once that hurdle is crossed, custom ROMs and kernel will be possible.

I might abandon simply honey as there are bug I have no hope of fixing and my even after disabling the battery full notification it still causes a bug where I need to reboot the phone to mount the SD after a full charge.

Its either work on that or work on ucki3/4 and I'm leaning towards ucki3 over simply honey right now.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] doctahjeph:
If you are basing your decision off of developement then get the SGS2. Development has been started already for a couple months now. I think they already have CM7 ported to it. Plus the Infuse will probably lose most of the Devs to the SGS2.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
I would but I can't afford it yet. Higher rank equals better pay, but I may just wait for the sgs3. Who knows.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xcrunner65:
Honestly, I'd wait to upgrade until we see more LTE options available - it IS coming. There's a HUGE risk that when LTE is fully deployed we're going to lost HSPA+ anyway, so it'd be smart financially to just hold out until LTE ready phones are more abundant. In the mean time, just gotta wait out this down period...

For the record, my HSPA+ suspicions stem from documents released after Deutsch Telecomm "sold" T-Mobile to ATT. They are just that - rumor/suspicion, but I have a good feeling that we will see HSPA+ phased out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Very, very true. I'm impatient but I don't care to be phased out by something like that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
So far the whole delay with lte has been to stregnthen hspa+ so there is a strong fallback to lte...ie if you lose lte connectivity the phone still has a solid connection.

Unlike verizon who rumors say jumped the gun with lte...when their users are outside of that lte area they have been said to complain of zero connection.

Just stuffs I read or picked up in conversation here and there
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xcrunner65:
Sure and in lots of ways I can agree - I merely am saying that ATT, should the TMobile merger go through, will begin to discontinue that HSPA+ work. No one company is doing the right thing, that's for sure. I'd just rather not upgrade to a device that will be completely obsolete in a few months (Read: if everything goes to plan)

Is it enough to just 'freeze' htc iq & logger?
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
Yea, I found this last night. I was the one who originally posted it here. The article on Android Police stated that the best option was immediate removal of the HTClogger apk. I did that, and got repeated force closes over and over, literally to the point of not being able to do anything on my phone. I had to pull the battery and restore to a Nadroid I made earlier, so just removing the apk isn't gonna work. I think it has to be built out of the OS, because the system keeps looking for it. I don't know how freezing is going to work either, but I think it would have the same results. I'm waiting on word from someone who knows better than me, and hopefully the dev who built my ROM can do something to get it out.

I got no idea, (and don't really care) but prepare for a new twist on the question, and for fanbois everywhere to get their minds BLOWN on this phone:

http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3064&c=samsung_shv-e120s_galaxy_s_ii_hd_lte_samsung_celox

The Samsung Galaxy 2 HD... WITH has the SAME Snapdragon CPU as our Evo.

I guess that kinda nullifies most of the arguments about the Exynos CPU being sooo awesome, lol!

On a more serious note, I'm really curious about the performance of this one. If TouchWiz gets the same kind of performance as Sense does or not, since most other things in this phone and the Evo or the Sensation XE will be equal...
[HTC EVO 3D] zadias:
Interesting...
[HTC EVO 3D] gmelchert:
ohmy......
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Yeah, isn't it? Especially since HTC also have some HD handsets on the way ALSO with the same Snapdragon SOC, so you can make even more of a direct comparison.

People have said for years that Sense slows down HTC phones, something I don't really buy (Might make a little difference, but they had years to finetune it, so I doubt it makes a big difference).

But for the first time we'll be able to see if Sense really makes a difference in performance as opposed to Touchwiz or plain Android, and how big a difference drivers make.

And by comparing Samsungs ROM with HTCs or SEs ROMs, developers will learn a little more and might come up with some new tweaks.

So interesting indeed!
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
I really don't see why people are attacking the OP. He isn't trolling.

Anyway, something interesting I read was that the T-mobile Galaxy S II will be using the MSM8260 @ 1.5 Ghz. Engadget said so far from what they've seen, they couldn't see any hint of it being slower than the Exynos version of the GSII.

Here is the Xiaomi phone, which also has the 1.5 Ghz dualcore snapdragon MSM8620. They benchmarked it against the GSII and it kept us quite well.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/xiaomi-phone-review/

Based on all of this information, its clear that other phones with very similar hardware to ours are performing noticeably better which indicates to me that our software is the culprit.

Just look how similar this phones hardware is to ours:

"Being one of the few devices sporting a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8260 SoC, we'd be silly to not do any benchmarking with the Xiaomi Phone. Accompanied by an Adreno 220 graphics processor, 1GB RAM and 4GB ROM, a slick performance is a given -- after all, Xiaomi did start off as a third-party ROM developer, so system optimization should be a piece of cake for it. From the scores we obtained, we'd say the Xiaomi Phone is on par with the Galaxy S II despite the higher clock speed: on Quadrant the former got 3,040, which is only a bit behind the Galaxy S II's 3,396. However, the graphical performance showed mixed outcomes:"

This is good news IMO, since we should experience quite a performance boost once all the problems with AOSP/CM7 have been ironed out and we get more optimized kernels.

The EVO 3D is capable of more than what HTC's stock software allows it to do, that much is clear.
