This is the guide dadda is talking about, for reference:

Remember this is for the Evo4G, NOT the 3D. Not sure if someone is working on something similar for the 3D.

(I'd love to know, I've been shopping for a slightly used 3d).

There is a thread stickied in the Development section discussing this. The person the OP originally linked to (not mikmiks) was just retrying stuff we had already tried because there was an $800 bounty for s-off at the time.

Hopefully now, four months later, everyone realizes he was just scamming people...
[HTC EVO 3D] JustSomeDude:
My apologies, I actually have just started looking at the 3D forums, so I missed that. Thanks for the heads up.

No worries, that last part wasn't toward you or anyone in particular. I just wanted to put it out there in case anyone stumbled upon this thread and thought it had already been figured out.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] emd2009:
I want to buy a new phone. I have had my evo 4g since it came out. My friend has a s2 and I love it but what are the common issues with the sprint variant and are they worth looking over? I am currently running cm7 so not having sense won't be an issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ga101698:
I came from an EVO as well and absolutely love the sgII E4GT (maybe not the 8 character abbreviation) but the phone rocks. It is just like every other brand of phone out there. The majority play nice and then you have the ones that want to be stroked and then you have the bad boys. And last but not least the occasional bone head behind the keyboard.

But my over all experience has been great. Your mileage may vary....... :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] emd2009:
Thanks so lemme ask you this, is it worth purchasing without a contract? I've seen a couple on Craig's list go for $300
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ga101698:
300 doesn't sound bad.........not tell you to go out and do it. But for that price I would.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajones42:
I hear a fix for most bugs is coming next month. At $300 i would do it. Thats how much sprint will take u for if u buy it new on contract.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starbuck123:
I just received a text and email from AT&T today saying they disabled my data because they detected that I put my sim card into a data connect device. When I called to question them about it, they said their system detected my phone as the Samsung GT-P7501. I googled this model # and it's the new Germany version of the Samsung Tab 10.1. I really don't understand how or why their system detected this model. I don't think it's even possible to buy this tablet at the moment! Did any one else encounter a similar problem?

I was on the $10 unlimited data plan and used the wap.cingular APN setting.

Hii, guys. I'm connecting my GN to Kies and it says that it has a new firmware upgrade available for me.

However, when I click ok, update it gives me the following error:

I'm not korean, don't speak it and in fact I'm pretty far away from that part of the world.

Does anyone know what this means?:)

Im porting newer kernel version for my device and I after succesful compilation (using config from old version with all new stuff added by make oldconfig) I have a problem.

When I flash kernel to the phone (LG p350) it does not boot (make infinite loop of reboots) before adb deamon is started and I cant get any message what the heck is wrong.

How could I get some debug msg by, for instance, saving them to SD card or phone memory, or mby route them via USB?

Yea, what the title says, i saw WP7 at a delicious price and found it really cool, my question is, i am 16, have been working with android for a while and i'd like to try something new, would this fit my needs, i am into social networks and it's got Xbox Live, which a major advantage for me!

If you (and your friends/classmates) don't care about handset's popularity, "glamour and prestige", WP7 is right choice for you :D

P.S. 15-year-old daughter of my friend rejected WP7 'cause it's "not so cute and fashionable as iPhone", and "everyone in school has an iPhone" :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth Oro:

Actually, teens here in portugal don't really care about fashionable phones, they stick to the simplest phones, but i might get a WP7 then, it seems reasonable and good for me, so thanks for the replies!

Hey mate, i think you will love wp7, im 17 myself and i came form WM6.1-6.5.x and i love WP7, only downside is that it is a closed source... but since you are not into that then it will be perfect for you :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -WP7User-:
Yeah, that's true. I've got an HTC Desire with Launcher 7 on it and an HTC HD7. And the only phone I use is the HD7. The WP7 experience is just incredible - it's really smooth and runs fast and everything you need is integrated into the OS.

/end of OT ;)

I think that WP7 is a good choice for everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a teen, an adult or an elderly person. I'd definitely recommend a WP7 device. You can't make anything wrong with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Now this isn't the best launcher ever but it is pretty cool that Google put this inside of ics!

It can be a little tricky to find but the way that worked for me was to download launcher pro. Once in launcher pro create a desktop shortcut then click activity. Then find "rocket launcher" under launcher in the long list. If done correct you should have a shortcut to blast off.

I'm running the de bloated ep4d that was recently released. I need to take a screen capture for work right now.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
On the new OTA build I can't manage to screen capture the notification shade anymore because the stupid animation makes the phone lag and it doesn't cap before the shade has gone away. This is a problem when using the stock capture method. (Sorry for hijacking your thread but this is a relevant issue depending on what you are trying to screen cap.)

Lol i tried this it's a joke.

The stock method has never worked for me on 80%+ of what I want to screencap. I bought ScreenshotIt and it works great, and there are a lot of different options for how to get a screenshot.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wus132:
How can i tell the difference between them , i have a few little dots on the top left of my screen i notice it when i turn the phone on and also when the screen is off.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
If it's in the top left, that's likely dust. That's a problem area in HTC quality control for this device.

Also, if they are there when the screen is off then its' certainly dust.

Dead pixels do 1 of 2 things. They either don't work at all so they are black when the rest of the screen is on, or they stay 1 color constantly lit so they are lit when the rest of the screen is black (not off)

If the screen is powered off, even dead pixels don't stay lit.

Also, dead pixels aren't nearly the common problem they were on LCD screens just 5-7 years ago. I remember going through multiple computers monitors once trying to find a good one when LCD monitors first became affordable. It was a nightmare.

Now...you can buy $1000 big screen LCD TV's and not even worry about it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_smurfo:
Anyone ever come up with a solution to the corner dust problem. I have a patch about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch in that corner and it's so thick I can't see the notifications in bright sunlight. I'd rather not take it apart and wondered if a powerful vacuum or something might work?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wus132:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dementor123:
Very simple - if you can see something even when display is off then its dust else dead pixel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazman69:
I recently installed an external sd card (Samsung 8GB class 10). I wanted to use it for photos, videos, music and app backups. Also to move some memory heavy apps to sd card. I realise with our sgs2's we're blessed with an abundance of internal memory storage, but wanted to cover myself for factory data resets and so on.

Anyhoo I can't seem to get my head round the folder/file name setup e.g.

Folder sdcard/ which contains sdcard/external_sd and also contains sdcard/usbstorage.

To confuse matters further I seem to have duplicate folders called:

mnt/sdcard/ which contains mnt/sdcard/external_sd it also contains mnt/sdcard/usbstorage.

I would have thought an external sdcard would have a separate root folder? My question is how to get "app to sdcard" to go to external_sd? Also what's the best folder/filename setup to sort out this mess? Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
OK so in the linux filesystem /mnt is the area devices are generally mounted to

So the links in the area are to the same sets of locations

/mnt/sdcard is the mount point for the internal SD on a non rooted phone this is the default file system

thus in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd in a non rooted filesystem would simply show up in the file system as /external_sd (and the same with the USB storage) they are in fact one in the same copying file via either path will have exactly the same result.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
If you're having trouble with the phone directory layout and you have root, you can change it by making a symbolic link to point in another direction or directly change the mount partition table, but I think that would afect the ROM behaviour...

For the first thing, if the phone usually has this directories:

/system

/data

/sdcard

You can create a new one (/external_sd or whatever you want) and make it point to your external_sd directory, so in your root folder will have:

/system

/data

/sdcard

/external_sd -> /sdcard/external_sd

The command to do that is: ln -s /sdcard/external_sd /external_sd
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazman69:
Cheers guys. Thanks for your advice and knowledge on this one. I'm unrooted on stock voda rom 2.3.5. If I understand correctly (and I'm not entirely sure that I do;-). The two copies of the folder/file tree is fairly standard and does not cause any conflicts?

When I move an app to sd, it defaults to internal sd. I can then move them via file manager to external sd. But is there a way to make external sd the default card for this or at least a way to make a choice between them? Apologies if you've already covered this and I didn't get it.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
my work is going to provide phones (w/2gb data plans) to every employee.

Most are getting iPhone 4s 16gbs

but since I am in IT, I got an early heads up and HATE the iPhone, so get to choose what phone i get...

it has to be $199 or less(since i'm in so cal, that includes the Skyrocket)

Note: I will be carrying two phones...

Do I get

A 2nd Vivid, maybe in White? (I have faith that the bootloader will be unlocked... either by good graces or by court order)

SGS II (I liked it except for the over saturation, but with a custom rom I can restore the ability to tone that down, i hear)

SGS II Skyrocket.

Or something else?

At this point I'm leaning Skyrocket... I do know since I will be carrying 2 phones, I'd like the 2nd one to be thinner, if not out right smaller than the Vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
I'd wait and look at the LG Nitro...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
it's $249 and has a reported 3 hr battery life.

So it's out.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
If you have the Vivid already and will be carrying both phones I'd go with the 4S. Why do you need two Android phones? I hate to admit it, but there's some things the iPhone does better (mainly sound quality).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
LG Has a HORRIBLE Record at doing any sort of updates to their phones. All you have to do is look at the LG Thrill that is still running Froyo. The SkyRocket has issues with banding if you are looking at dark pictures and or movies and if movies you also get the lovely blobbing effect. I just got the SGSII and it does Not suffer from the Banding of lines through dark scenes, I as of yet I have to notice the blobbing effect either. So I would say SGSII or the Thrill in White if those are the choices you have. Regardless I have heard some where or another forget where that there will be new phones released this weekend so who knows might be something there for ya.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
The iPhone doesn't hold a candle to the sound quality of any Samsung device with Voodoo Sound. Unfortunately, Samsung decided to skimp out on the GSII and put a crappy sound card in it. :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
because IOS is boring. and the phone looks old...

and I REALLY love android...

Also, the lack of HSPA+ is a deal breaker for me...

Did I forget to mention, that should i leave or get fired... the phone is mine... So I need to get a phone I like...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] RoboMonkey:
iPhone it holds it value for resale.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
If it's a corporate device, resale might not be an issue due to company policy.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
AFAIK only the Galaxy S phones

The 4S is HSPA+ and I hate to sound like an iPhone supporter, but they do hold their value (get a 4S and you can trade it for any phone released in the next 3 months easy). I guess the way I see it if I were to walk around with two devices I would want them to be different. Go for WP7 even.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
OK, but not HSPA+ 21... it's not as fast as the SGSII or Vivid(when not on LTE)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bloodiedwraith:
I just returned my Vivid and got the LG Nitro HD. Far happier with it overall and the unlocked bootloader is a plus. The phone will be $199 in areas with LTE just like the Skyrocket is. As for battery life I don't know where you got that 3 hour battery figure from but mine has gone from 1:30PM - 9:30PM and has dropped from 33% to 25% battery with a couple of 5-10 minute phone calls, 20 texts, and moderate internet usage.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
if the nitro is $149 in my market, like the skyrocket, it will again be under consideration.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Good luck man. LG just doesn't have a good rep around here, nor do they deserve one. Even with the unlocked bootloader, LG phones' development doesn't hold a candle to any HTC/Samsung/Motorola device.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bloodiedwraith:
It doesn't really matter to me because I'm not paying for the phones. They're from work so I can just swap to whatever new phone comes out, but I have a feeling that it being the first 720p screen device on AT&T as well as being available for our friends up north in Canada as well as overseas that it will see a bit more development than some of the previous horrible LG devices, such as the Thrill.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
The Thrill (Optimus 3D) was widely available as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bloodiedwraith:
True, but like I said I think the 720p screen as well as the LTE will be a huge draw for people. But either way, even if it doesn't get any development I have to say that stock and out of the box (my only modification was getting rid of the horrible LG Home and going with ADW EX) it destroys the HTC Vivid in day to day use so far, IMO.

Definitely play around with one in the store when it launches if you haven't already.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Yea... and look how that one failed lol. To above poster, LG and phones just don't go together well. The last good phone by them was probably the chocolate. :p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bloodiedwraith:
Oh God no. When I was a tech manager at VZW we replaced those phones 20-50 times a day they were utterly horrible! lol But I agree on the sentiment that LG and phones don't go together as I'm actually not a fan of anything LG.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
lol I kid, I kid. They had catchy commercials for that phone though! I've never gone with LG for appliances, but I don't believe they are too bad (correct me if I'm wrong). But in terms of phones, they just never stack up. They used to actually be pretty good, before smartphones got big. I remember one in particular it had a screen on the outside and then you'd flip it and it had another screen on the inside with a big keyboard, (not the most thorough description lol). That thing was decent and ahead of the game from what I can remember.
