[General Questions and Answers] haydenm92:
Hey, after much searching I'm still unable to come to a conclusion on the questions listed below. Any help would be much appreciated! I've got the EVO 3D running HBOOT 1.5 on Sprint.

Will rooting my EVO 3D wipe out my apps/texts/ect?

If yes to 1, then is there any sort of backup I can perform before the rooting process to gain back my previous apps/texts/ect?

Finally, is this a good method of rooting? hxxp://htcevohacks . com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-evo-3d-2-08-651-2-and-later-htc-unlock-method/

Still need help so I'm bumping. Anyone have any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] dannyboyex:
from what i've read, if you use htc's method, it does a factory reset so yes you'll lose apps and texts. backing up texts and the call log is easy just seach on the market. apps are harder especially if you don't have root.

if i bought my sgs ladt year october will i be able to upgrade?
[Vibrant General] thenikeman:
Did you lock yourself into a 2 year contract? If so, you can get it, but it'll cost you more.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Did you sign a two yr contract? If so, you still have one more year left. You may be able to get a partial discount (partial subsidized price) on the SGS-2, but that means you are renewing an additional two years on top of the remaining one year. That is 3 yrs.

I sure as hell wouldn't commit to T-Mobile for 3 yrs just to get that phone.

You can buy it at full retail and wouldn't have to sign a contract, but that would cost you obviously more for the phone.

Why don't you check out ebay for the Sensation 4G, you can pick one up for 300 or so without contract. Or wait a few months and SGS-2 will be on ebay for cheap.

Just don't sign another contract, 3 yrs more with T-Mobile is insane, especially since nobody knows what is going to happen to them.

Another option is to cancel your T-Mobile account. Pay the 200 ETF. Then go to At&t and get the SGS-2 for 149.99 (if you shop around).

This comes out to 349.99.

Also, contrary to popular belief, At&t is actually cheaper than T-mobile. If you compare the current contract plans on At&t to the current contract plans on T-Mobile, you get more for your money on At&t (especially if you are on a Family plan). However, if you are on a grandfathered T-Mobile plan then that might not be the case.

Anyways, deffinately don't sign another T-mobile contract, that is crazy right now.

Edit:

According to Archie53 they don't add an additional 2 yrs on your remaining 1 yr, they just renew from that point on for 2 more yrs.

Thanks for the clarification.
[Vibrant General] archie53:
They don't add time onto existing contracts, they just restart the two years. The partial discount is pretty much not worth signing a two year contract , your almost better off just paying full price.
[Vibrant General] donnygg:
I'll be in US for a year or so starting next Jan. What is "going to happen" to T-mobile?
[Vibrant General] kboater:
seriously?

not flaming, but seriously?

The whole Att buy out....
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
Seriously??????

I never heard that from anyone. Can u support ur claims?
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
What claims?

The part where I said current At&t contract plans (especially family plans) are cheaper than current contract T-Mobile plans?

Just go to At&t and T-mobile compare the plans side by side. At&t comes out cheaper. At&t gives you unlimited calling to Any mobile on any carrier as long as you get family text messaging. I'm on a grandfathered plan with T-mobile, and if I switch to At&t I would save about 30 bucks a month and get unlimited mobile to mobile on any carrier. The only thing I would lose is my 5gb data cap, compared to 2Gb on At&t. That's ok though, I don't even use the full 2GB, I'm always on wifi wherever I go.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
I just did this...tmobile unlimited min/text/5 gb of data is 75 a month...att unlimited min/text/2 gb of data is 95 a month. Where the hell did you learn math?

The family plan for two lines is 160 on tmobile with 5 gb of data a piece..170 on att with 2 gb of data a piece also..tmobile wins again.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
First off, you don't need to be rude. I'm pretty sure I'm more educated than you are.

Secondly, why would I get unlimited talk on At&t when At&t offers rollover and free mobile to mobile on any carrier with the purchase of famly text messaging for 30 bucks or individual for 20 bucks.

With At&t rollover and unlimited mobile to mobile TO ANY CARRIER, you can get one of the cheaper At&t minute plans and save a lot of money, yet still basically have unlimited talk. THAT WAS MY POINT.

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/messaging-plans.jsp?fbid=pmoRmsc3B5p

"Get unlimited calls, text, picture, instant messages, and video messaging to any mobile number on any U.S. wireless carrier!

•Does not count against your Anytime Minutes

•Included with Family Messaging Unlimited ($30/month) or Messaging Unlimited ($20/month) for individual

•Available on $69.99 and higher FamilyTalk® rate plans and $39.99 and higher Nation individual rate plans"
[Vibrant General] HaloMediaz:
Thanks for you help guys. i really appreciate it :D
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Yeah you're right bout the rude part. Sorry.

Everyone's family is different and needs for phones are different...your way is fine as long as your family won't call landlines. Mine tends to talk to a variety of connections(mobile and landline/google voice*) So an unlimited makes way more sense for me and mine. With the unlimited Tmobile beats At&t hands down.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Apology accepted.

Ya, both carriers have their pros and cons, and you're right sometimes one is cheaper than the other depending on one's needs.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
I knew I forgot something...i put the * on google voice up there because if you're calling to and from GV alot it is considered landlines. Another reason I need the actual unlimited as everyone now has my GV number. Unless you're calling a sprint GV number, then it's a mobile...i think.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Whether he re-ups his T-Mobile contract, or gets a new contract with ATT, he'll be in the same boat. Except he'll probably be paying less on T-Mobile.

If the merger goes through, ATT has to honor all existing customer contracts. If they raise your rates, you get out ETF-free.

[HTC Desire S] LogicXLz':
Hi, guys.

I've just started using my Desire S and have updated to (OTA) 1.47.401.4. From my previous experience with Wildfire (Buzz), you could not root your phone anymore after some update... So far I'm running on stock software;haven't done anything to my new phone yet, but I'd like to try some custom ROM with sense 3.0. :o

So, would you be so kind and olease tell me whether it is safe to go on with S-OFF and ROOT procedures as described in guides on this forum, after the above mentioned update? :confused:

Thanks a lot in advance!
[HTC Desire S] fdebef:
It is described for right that version here:

[HTC Desire S] LogicXLz':
Thanks for the tip...

But as I've been reading thru the forum, no one seems to have problems after updating with the stock update to the 1.47.401.4. version...

OR, did all of those just update to the mentioned version with a custom ROM?

Would any of you who have updated via the OTA update please confirm that it is safe/no problem S-OFF-ing and rooting the phone with Revolutionary and SuperOneClick?After the 1.47.401.4. OTA, that is?

Please, I don't wonna screw myself into bricking my phone or putting myself in a situation from which it would take me hours to get it back on track again. And there is no straight answer to my question.

Just a simple "YES" or "NO" will do...

Just so we're clear lol obviously I have a Verizon HTC Incredible 2, Gingerbread (2.3.4) with HBOOT 0.98...

I'd like to get rid of all the bloatware, or freeze it, whatever needs to be done. I'm not a n00b but I am a bit of a rookie when it comes to Android devices specifically, I've never really dabbled in this department.

I was following: incredibleforum.com/forum/htc-incredible-2/9918-successful-rooting-incredible-2-finally.html

I figured out the ADB thing, so don't worry about that. I went to try doing the revolutionary s-off part before I could gain root access to my phone, but it told me my device was not supported, that's when I figured out I have hboot 0.98, pffffttt. I wonder if it's even possible to do at this point in time. I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

Could someone please point me in the right direction? What am I missing or not finding for myself? >_<

[HTC Sensation] ptit developer:
The "notification LED" color depends in first of your phone, so any applications even if you have root access can give you an other color, if your phone doesn't have it.

The "notification LED" of the HTC Sensation (or HTC Sensation 4G) shows a :

- Solid green light when it is connected to the power adapter or

a computer and the battery is fully charged.

- Flashing green light when you have a pending notification.

- Solid orange light when the battery is being charged.

- Flashing red light when the battery level reaches very low.

So except if you open your phone to change the led (at your own risks), you can't have for exemple a "notification LED" blue color.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSebRa:
Hello, this is my first post. So be gentle.

My problem is as follows:

Currently I'm using RevolutioN v1.0 A2SD+ ROM but I've also had this problem with InsertCoin CM7 1.1.4.

Whenever I try to load the 'People' App it will say 'Loading...' and then stay that way indefinitely. I can switch to the 'Groups' & 'Call History' tabs and my contacts will appear, but it will not load on the 'All' tab. I cannot access contacts or the People application through my saved SMS messages nor through any other method, 'People' will just force-close if I try.

I have tried a full wipe and reinstall of both ROMs but with no success.

I tried deleting the application and then reinstalling it from the APK located in the system, which didn't help.

I'm now at a complete loss! Without this application the device is almost useless as a phone.

I did restore a Nandroid Backup of LeeDroid 2.5.0 A2SD+ and the application worked fine in that. I think it may be an issue with 2.3.3.

Please offer any help you can. Thank you.

Oh, and here's a list of my phone's specifications:

HTC Bravo PVT4 S-Off.

Current ROM: RevolutioN v1.0 A2SD+.

1024MB EXT-3 Partition.

ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You need to combine modem with Kernel. To my knowledge no I9000 gb kernel works on i897 rom. Also the speed difference is just upload.

Captivate roms, with the exception of the very latest leaks, don't show H, only 3G.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
H= HSPA wich is only a upload speed increase. You can try different I897 modems see if you can increase your bandwith in your area. Personally I get about 3Mbs download and 300Kbs upload.

Edit: My observations are based on ATT network.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
So by latest leak you mean KJ3?

sent from my cappy rocking gingerbread
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
I think it started with ki1, then the next couple had the H+, but the last one didn't. I think it is kj3.

H and 3G usually have about the same dl (HSDPA)speed. The difference is in the upload (HSUPA), which is capped at about 350-375kb/s. The i9000 modems don't have that upload cap built in. The H+ is only cosmetic at this point, until att starts increasing speeds through the towers.

He will be greatly missed I'm sure. I know I will miss his support.

I've tried a few different apps and selected different sounds but they aren't playing. Any ideas why?
[Motorola Photon 4G] pIxiLatEd:
Because you're on vibrate?

Kidding of course. Try seeking out your own notification sounds online. Down load them as mp3 files, plug in your phone, then drop them in /media/audio/notifications ringtones would go into /media/audio/ringtones....this is o n your internel storage, btw. They should then be applied in the usual way.

Much better options are out there online vs market apps. Just google "notification tones"
