Well I'm sticking to this third phone. No reboots in 2 days (although I am getting a funny skipping problem in PlayerPro).

In summary, I got 2 new phones, both with HBOOT 1.30. I also got a refurb that was 1.50.
[HTC EVO 3D] palekillerwhale:
I definitely sympathize with your frustrations with Asurion. They're sending out terrible devices and I've yet to figure out what the cause is. I'm the lead tech at my Sprint S&R location and have exchanged a high number of these phones because of defective units shipped by Asurion.

The policy in all corporate Sprint S&R locations is to replace these devices in store instead of making customers go back through Asurion even though it's covered under the Asurion 1 year warranty. Granted they will most likely have to order it, but you'll still get it in the same amount of time it would take Asurion to send it, if not faster.

I would suggest asking a tech to replace your screen before spending the $100 on your deductible. I harvest screens just for this reason and replace them on a daily basis.

TL : DR - If it breaks Sprint can fix it. If Asurion sends it and it doesn't work, Sprint will replace it.

Nice. Hboot 1.50 isn't that bad though.

I agree that it is a little more of an annoyance.

Although FlashImageGui by joeykrim is aweseome for flashing kernels. I have flashed like 4 or 5 of them with no issues.

I just want to know if the latest Security Update breaks ROOT. If it does guess it's time to flash the newest SPRINT ROOTed ROM than. BTW for Bluetooth HID will that ever be added to Stock ROM or will I have to go to CMS?
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
i tried to install it, on the rom below, i did look around for info but couldnt find none and took "the risk" , rom manager couldnt verify the signature, and aborted the process, so i left it at that, from what i gathered from google, its only an "official" update to 4.3.4. But most ROMS on xda are 4.3.4 anyway, so i dont think were losing out, if your already s-off'ed and perm rooted, i wouldnt risk it, i just take chances

edit... i'm on gsm this a cdma question, not sure if its applicable now, but handy for any GSM users reading, with the recent HTC OTA
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Regarding the details of the OTA for Sprint, I give a fairly decent summary here

I also answer questions regarding the impacts of loading this OTA and the impact it will have on the bootloader here

If you're interseted in running the OTA I detail out the impact it will have on root access here and more step by step directions in this post.

A user posts back the steps I provided worked for them here.

The CDMA update and the GSM update will be similar in regards to the OTA structure and application process. Majority OTA releases from HTC for the EVO and EVO 3D reflash the device with a stock recovery and remove all setuid binaries in the /system directory.

The steps I outline in my previous posts advise how best to handle and patch up these steps HTC steps to remove root access.

If you have any questions, please post back up! Hope all the details and long answers I wrote up help!

Thanks that answered my question.. I am running stock rooted ROM so I can update with no issues than.
[HTC EVO 3D] SfinxSoft:
Can say that I've installed the latest OTA on my revolutionary rooted GSM EVO 3D. You need patch the update-script and remove the hboot and recovery images from firmware.zip or you will have the S-ON bootloader and fail signature update check. Anyway the update breaks the su binary but simple reinstall fix this, so now I have the latest update with full S-OFF, root and latest (5.0.2.0) recovery image working like a sharm.

So I´ve got the Wi-fi version of the 7 inch gtab, GT-P1010, and it´s runnin Froyo version 2.2.2, but I´ve got root access.

The thing is I got it at a discounted price from a big Retailer down here(Peru), and they stuck their damned brand name on it every time it turns on or off, do you guys know of any way of getting rid of it? I´ve seen a couple other posts, but they mentioned it might vary if its a wi-fi version, I would think that since it doesn´t have a carrier concerned with hacking or w/e that it´d be easier, but I don´t know.

Any help would be greatly apreciated! and im not much of a modder, so I´d need an explanation through easy street lol.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I did some testing of video chat apps today with some fairly unfortunate results. Here they are:

1) Skype

--Video: Excellent

--Audio: Excellent, but some cases of no audio when making phone to phone calls.

--Bluetooth headset support: Yes

2) Qik from TMO

--Video: Very good

--Audio: Very good

--Bluetooth headset support: No

3) Yahoo Messenger

--Video: Very good

--Audio: Excellent

--Bluetooth headset support: No

4) OoVoo

--Video: Not tested yet on SGS2, but generally gave me problems on EVO 4G.

--Audio: Not tested yet on SGS2, but generally gave me problems on EVO 4G.

--Bluetooth headset support: No

5) Tango

--Video: Not tested yet on SGS2, but worked fine on EVO 4G.

--Audio: Not tested yet on SGS2, but worked fine on EVO 4G.

--Bluetooth headset support: No

I really don't like video chatting in public or work with the speaker phone blasting to everyone around. So having some kind of headset support is required for me. But it seems like only Skype has it, but neither of us have been able to hear audio on Skype calls on the SGS2. Has anyone gotten it working? or do you know of another video chat app that works on the SGS2 and has BT headset support?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] huggosz:
Skype works great for me, it's actually the only one that I can actually have a conversation with, I've tried everything else Tango, Qik, Fring etc and they all cut out I can't ever hold an actual conversation, Skype is awesome I can hear them perfectly and there's almost zero delay!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Its not really any different than using an app. Its just the phone software is integrating with an application. No different then who the mytouch 4g had integration with qik video calling. It doesn't really mean its going to work better or worst than before. We just need the developers to make their apps more universal and better programmed for video chat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I tried some more Skype calls. I had extremely good success from my phone to Skype on the PC. Even internationally. The person I called remarked how great the FFC video looked (better than my PC webcam).

The sound was very good on both sides when using my Samsung included wired headset. The noise canceling on Skype with the loud speaker used for audio was also quite good! I think that it gets worse with a slower connection though.

I need to try some more Skype phone to phone calls with Bluetooth over 4G to see if I can figure out what the problem was the other day.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosert:
I have a few apps that I got from the market which allows the user to choose personal dates (such as astrology softwares), with "+" an "-" for months, days and years.

All of them seem to present the same bug which is not giving the possibility to enter years before "1970" as then, when reaching "1970" the "-" key that change years backward disappears.

I found this bug on different softwares so I guess there is a problem with the Transformer (I wrote their authors who told me this problem doesn't occur on other android devices).

Does someone have an idea about that and maybe how to fix if easily ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
january 1 1970 is the beginning of the linux timestamp's epoch (kinda like year 1 BCE) is the beginning of our year-numbering system. my guess is, the developer is using timestamps to store dates...instead of the proper data structure, either date, or datetime.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosert:
Thanks for the answer.

It is weird to see such a limit, even if it is not a major one, in android.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
this is not a limition on android/linux but the timestamp data structure.

timestamp is stored as integers as the number of seconds after an arbitrary (but standard) date...in this case, january 1 1970. so that day it the 0th's second, the 1 second after that is 1, then 2, etc.

linux is perfectly capable for storing dates before that epoch, but not by using the timestamp data structure.

databases typically support at least two data structures that can store dates much better than timestamps. Date (YYYY-MM-DD) and DateTime (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). i have no idea what storage mechanism the dev was using, but i'm sure these guys are supported.

but again, this is just a theory. either way though, i don't know what app(s) you're talking about, but that bug is definitely a flaw with the apps, and not the android.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amaddux:
Just to be clear, this isn't an android limitation, its just generally the method used in operating systems and computer, to keep time from Jan. 1, 1970. If an application wants to outside those bounds, they should be storing their own data structure for it, like the earlier post mentioned. Unless your using 64-bit time, you also can't choose a date beyond early 2038.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosert:
ok, I see. So there are no ways to fix this excepted if the creator of the apps does something ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordo:
Not a timestamp problem

Hi all,

I am an android developer and few of my users are complaining that at some point they started to have this problem. It is not related to how I store the date (I don't use a timestamp). It seems some issue with the android date picker control. As far as I understand from my user's description the date picker control itself does not let them go below 1970, even if they try to enter the date manually.

It happens on Droid X2 as far as I understand, but it does not happen with motorola's Droid X2 emulator. So I am confused.

Cheers
