Honestly it was because of the crap talking by the evo 3d users that prompted me to respond to this. we simply do not have to crap on other phones especially when it seems the people talking crap have never experienced ths gs1 or gs2 first hand.

here are some facts about the htc anything series thus far.

just about every htc phone i have experienced or used has a real crappy dac. thus it results in really ****ty sound.

go to HEADFI.ORG AND READ

go to HEADFI.ORG AND READ

go to HEADFI.ORG AND READ

the dac on the gs1 series and gs2 are superior especially with voodoo sound because of the dac. the samsung president is an audio head. they made alot of crappy electronics but the gs series aint one of them.

Do a self test

Do a self test

Do a self test

if you dont believe me pick a song you listen to alot. choose a 320kb mp3 version and compare it to a flac version. there's hardly any difference. the sound sounds muffled, tin can like and just bad.

if you have a gs1 series with voodoo sound. try the same test and you will find the gs is superior and worthy standalone mp3 player. unfortunately its really not that good. but far better than anything htc i have used

the htc series of sprint phones (i havent checked the new evo) why that phone came out is beyond me. bleeds light like no other.

the screen on the evo 3d bleeds light just as bad as the evo. the epic, and nexus not so much. honestly i dont like any of these phones and i have owned all of them. the nexus is superior but the build quality is not good. the epic is good but the build quality is not so good. the evo has bad battery life, lags, and a bad build in general. the evo 3d has a good build, crap sound, crap camera, lags, and for whatever reason i am holding onto it...meaning its the best phone out of the 4. however i and just about every 3d user outside this forum would trade it for a gs2 in a heartbeat.

if you dont believe me go to a sprint store and listen to the users. most will not want to touch the 3d and if you ask the 3d users which they would use. most including the sprint employees i have come across say the same thing. renton, wa. downtown sea, wa, lynnwood, wa.

Finally someone who realizes this sad, but true fact.

For others: You my pretend this is OK, you may fooled others it is OK, you might even fooled yourself, but there are still users with brain with the knowledge how to use it. You keep spamming this place and I'll give you tons of reasons why to hate it. Mods and admins won't do anything about it, because, lets face it, it requires a lot of energy and free time without any practical effect whatsoever, plus they have to stay neutral. I DO NOT. I know how to "surf" on the edge of the rules, which gives me plenty of free space to make you feel bad.

I don't know how you can ***** about the camera on the 3D. I have taken tons of pictures in 2D and 3D. While I have seen some pictures that weren't perfect, I haven't had an issue with pictures looking like crap. I have viewed them on the phone, as well as my 60inch plasma and pictures and videos look great. I wouldn't say that the camera on the 3D is better than any of those phones but I would definitely say it is no where near worse.

As far as lag goes, I have seen it on every phone. While the Photon may not seem like it lags, it does feel overall slower. The SGSII may feel fast and smooth but I have seen that lag as well. Every single phone out right now other than, MAYBE, the GNex, will lag some until it hits ICS.

Now, I am by no means claiming that the 3D is perfect but I will NOT say it is worse than ANY of those phones. Personally, I think that what most people are expecting out of these phones is unrealistic right now. No phone will every be perfect. For some reason everyone seems to think that what is better for them, is better for EVERYONE. ITS NOT! That's it. That will NEVER be the case.

@tailsthecat3 "lol"

@genax

Ouch man I feel for ya because the Evo3d your describing sounds nothing like mine buddy. My Evo3d runs great. Had it since launch date stood in line for 2hrs to get it. Haven't had not one issue out of it. I've done so much Modding and hacking to this phone and its has performed flawless for me threw it all. I can do just about anything from my phone I choose and it does it smooth as butter. It's unfortunate your experience hasn't been the same. Hopefully you find a phone that can perform for you the way you want it to. But I know several non xda members who have Evo3d's and are quite satisfied with them running completely stock no root, no s-off, or anything. So that leads me to believe that its different for all users. But I don't think every Evo3d user outside this form would trade there Evo3d for a gs2 I think that's just your experience and your opinion. Once again Happy phone hunting but the Evo3d is a winner in my book all day.

The SGSII variant for sprint looks nice. Its thinner and wider, which I like. the 3D seems kinda fat...however I'm very happy with my 3D and would choose it over the SGSII again. Sense 3.0 has a certain finesse to it that no other skin, UI, brings to the table in the android world. Its like having an iphone with android on it. Sure its laggier than the SGSII, but both lag. I'll accept that trade off!
[HTC EVO 3D] genax:
you said you have seen but how many of those phones have you actually used. i have used them all and for months at a time. i have gone through maybe 50 roms and 30 kernals or more out of the epic, evo, 3d, and nexus.

again the 3d lags at the most frustrating of times. i stopped using different kernals that has helped alot. i completely forget every phone reacts to each kernal differently.

dont you notice the pictures seem to be dark on the evo 3d?

it all depends on perfect. i have a feeling either the sg3 will be near perfect. but we shall see

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

thanks for that. if the bashers started the thread in this fashion i would not went off like that. i have been using the 3d since october and i can't figure out why it lags or just kills the battery. i have checked the battery useage and nothing seems out of the norm.

it could be the custom kernals or titanium as i am using backups from jeez the evo days. i merely upgrade them and batch and upgrade and later install all of them.

this phone baffles me. i think im going to put it back to stock and use my insurance. it could simply be i have a lemon.
[HTC EVO 3D] Luthien1:
ok i had both evo 3d and epic galaxy s2.. in fact, i initially put my evo 3d up on ebay and bought the galaxy s2...Thats when i realized i made a big mistake.. the Galaxy s2 screen resolution was so bad compared to evo 3d, then it was very cheap feeling, and touchwiz is more boring then anything. I initially wanted it because of the exynos processor, but did tons of research indicating that the qualcomm in my evo 3d was overall better. that fact is apparent in page rendering and many other thins. This checkbox exterior would always pop up on gs2 when loading web pages, and with the evo 3d....perfect...the only thing i can give to the gs2 was the sound quality, but thats it and i reckon that will improve with ics....so coming from someone who owned both, i returned my gs2, and took my evo 3d off ebay and said........its not worth to upgrade till quad core krait core qualcomm comes out.... and im standing by that... 3d will also continue to develop..the evo 3d is superior to the gs2...its a fact people...it only goes for less cus of popularity.. period

Yes this might be true but it might not be the case. You yourself has posted that the evo3d is frustrating to you and your thinking of going back to stock. Well if you have a little free time Im willing to help you trouble shoot your issue to see if we can solve them. Sometimes its just finding the right information. I think your phone is fine although I could be wrong, but I also think it could just need to be giving a little extra attention. Well you can shoot me a pm and let me know. Once again good luck.

Im not noticing any of this. Getting pretty good battery life.

[HTC EVO 3D] akiradavis:
Lag depends on the ROM/Kernel combination honestly. Also, depends on how much apps you installed on the phone memory. Even (sadly) how many text messages you have saved. There are so many variables to create lag in the Android OS that you can't compare one phone's lag to another.

As far as phones in general, I must say, it depends on what you need. I honestly can say I was a HUGE phone guy, flashing a ROM/Kernel every morning at work. However, after getting a tab, my needs changed and now I use my phone for txt, phone calls, and 4G tether. Thats it.

There will definitely be a time when our standard run of the mill phone comes with a 5.1 audio dac, full HD, 1TB of internal mem, and full reception 2 basement levels under ground floor. But until those phones come out, expect ppl to "converse" about who's phone is better. Its just nature.

In contrary to many ppl here, I can say this thread was mildly entertaining. I would have never thought the G series phones had quality DACs.
[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
The wolfson dac is superior to the Yamaha.
[HTC EVO 3D] Serren:
What a crappy thread. How come you EP4G Touch 2 or whatever its called people don't stay in your own section. We don't care about your opinion. You picked your phone, we picked ours. Were all happy, now go away. Unless...

You want to talk about the Sprint Galaxy Nexus! I also wonder if this phone will be late to the party by the time LTE is widespread across the Nation. This phone could be a year old or more by that time. That is an eternity in cell phone technology. Not just for quad core, which none of us really need, but want anyways, but other hardware features as well.

I guess time will tell.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misery in motion:
Anyone know if 4.54 will be the final OTA/RUU for the EVO 4G? I understand the classic EVO is EOL. And I also realize there are many ROMs that have ported 2.3.4-7, as well as ICS etc. I'm just curious if 4.54 will be the final factory release. I was really hoping we'd get to 2.3.4 at least.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregbradley:
Barring some sort of security hole that needs patching, it's pretty unlikely, but I guess the best any of us could do is speculate. Sucks that the EVO never got google video chat through gTalk, never having made it to 2.3.4. But alas, this is why I've been on AOSP for 14 months now.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GMcD:
So i rooted my wife's tablet when 1.4.0 was on it. everything was working great....until 1.4.1 was pushed. The android market app, android email app and android clock app no longer open. Ive been searching for a solution and i think i may have found one without having to revert back to 1.4.0 and start all over again. If i understand this correctly, all i need to do is this:

Sideload the ADB root hijack.apk file

Follow the Indirect's ADB Root Hijack APP, Allows Root PATCH and Reentry of Root Script video

And i think thats it. Am i missing a step? Also, for what its worth, When i try running the new NThidden app and try to run the unknown sources script, i get a force close everytime. Does this mean that something isnt right with my root? Sorry if im not making some sense...pretty new to this rooting stuff. Thanks in advance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
Honestly, as someone who half knows what I am talking about, I think your best bet is to back everything up, factory reset, and then use the latest and greatest auto root program. This will have the addecd benifit of you never have to worry about it auto updating again!

Everything I have read says 1.4.1 was put in place by people who hate you and want you to be poor. =p

This is just me but I would factory reset and follow indirects method with alberts youtube vids..I know people have 1.4.1 going but Im sticking with 1.4.0 until I really need to update. Then watch alberts vids on how to block Over The Air updates and then you wont have to worry bout her tablet getting a forced update.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Janonymus:
I'm having the same problem as GMcD.

AFAIK, I used the latest root script that should have blocked the OTA updates. Before I restore to factory and try rooting again, can anyone suggest how I can make sure that the OTAs are disabled again?

Is there any way to verify that the OTA updates have been disabled?

Thanks in advance!

PS much thanks to Indirect and Albert! Great work guys!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
go to your settings then device info--> about your NOOK--> Software version should be 9.9.9 if not then it's not blocking OTA's
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] grimknight:
Frustrated...

Okay, I must be missing something and have hit the point of total frustration :( I have, I think, a fair amount of experience with rooting (DroidX, GalaxyS, GX2, Axtrix2 and NookColor with NF and HL+ running before they were allowed) so can only guess it's something silly or simple I am overlooking...

I bought my (3) kids NTs for Christmas since I own a fully rooted NC and saw the potential of the device for the price AFTER it was rooted. After they opened and registered them, I jumped online, D/L'd Indirect's scripts (YOU ROCK DUDE!) and had them rooted and on their way in an hour. 5 days later, the stupid 1.4.1 update hits (I was one of those who thought the root alone blocked the OTA) and jacked up all 3 devices.

I have tried EVERY post, hint and tip I can find here to get 1.4.0 back on these devices without success. Things I done:

- Factory reset MULTIPLE times (turning on wifi ONLY long enough to get past the registration screen)

- Downloaded the acclaim_update.zip file multiple times from multiple sites (latest one yesterday afternoon from Indirect's post). I have left it zipped, not changed the name and put it on the root partition of the card.

- Tried 3 different SD cards (all 2GB and have been used for rooting all my other devices without any issues), formatted from the PC and formatted from the NT

No matter what I seem to do, I can't get back to base 1.4.0. FR reverts back to stock 1.4.1 after reset and when I try to boot to the SD cards, the screen flashes a second like it's going to then just errors out saying try again or contact support. I "think" I have followed every post or trick to the letter, but can't get anywhere...

Anyone else seeing this problem or do I just have three jacked up tablets? Am I missing something?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ashevillemike:
I had just gotten mine rooted (using Indirect method), when I got hit with the update. Luckily I had a titanium backup. Here's what I did:

Restored 1.40 with sd card (did not even move my data, just copied the card to computer just in case it got wiped)

Rooted using updated Indirect method (smoother and easier than 1st time and set version to 9.9.9.

Then restored apps & data from backup (still on sd card)

Only trouble I had was with the drivers (I had to load a program to delete the drivers-don't recall the name but it's in Indirect's troubleshooting drivers thread)

Whole process was a pain but still only took a couple of hours.

Mike
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ashevillemike:
I forgot one step in between the restoring and the rooting:

When I restored to 1.40 my n button wouldn't work so I had to erase and deregister the device (in settings under device info)

Then when I was able to connect I had to register again (no big deal)

Good luck,

Mike

I am having the same issue. I have tried to dl, re-dl everything possible to get mine to go to a 1.4.0. i just received mine as a gift and tbh i dislike how you have to purchase every little thing on it.

Oh another thing, as im going by albert wertz video, i cant help but to notice that his NT starts at 9.9.9? If I can get mine to go to a 9.9.9 and then restarting from there, I can do that as well.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shogun_x:
Unfortunately, you can't. I bit the bullet today and did the 1.4.0 restore, re-root and OTA block. I've had to re-download all my apps and lost any saved game data but it is worth it to me.

I had restored my son's NT and realized how much nicer it is to have a rooted device that didn't require adb commands for installing apps. The entire process took me about 45 minutes with about a third of the time waiting for large app downloads (Madden 12).

I have persistent ones for my two memory cards, plus the dock and keyboard notifications. Add to that the dual battery indicators, when docked, and it takes up a ton of space. I'll get a few emails from different email accounts, and a few auto app updates notifications, and the bottom bar is almost completely populated.

Anybody know if there's a way to get rid of these memory card and docked notifications, once they first appear? You should be allowed to just acknowledge the notification, and it would go hidden... Is that possible??
