[HTC EVO 3D] zedwards:
As it seems since it's been a while since the last "what's the next phone to get?" thread...

I've only had this phone for less than a year and I am going to eventually bite the bullet and just pay full price for a new one. While there are some great ROMSs out there (Clean, MIUI, etc.), Frankly, I've never had a more boring phone when it comes to choices sans bugs. Sooo....what's the next Sprint phone to get?? I looked at their website and it seems the same phones I had a choice of getting when I chose the 3D. Anything coming down the pipeline? What would you get?
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
I'll be hopping on the Nexus bandwagon as soon as they get it. I know it's going to be already "old and outdated" but I think I would still be happy with it. ;)

---Jay---
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
If you look at half the thread titles in this forum, it has to be SGSII. If I were you I would keep the 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] zedwards:
Hmmmm yeah the SGSII isn't very exciting. So that's it?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I've been pondering the same thing man. I might have to give it a shot and see what I think. Put that 14 day trial period to good use. I wonder when Sprint will release that thing?

As Jay said, the Galaxy Nexus will be coming to Sprint sometime in the near future. If you're wanting more of an update than either of those two phones, you should wait until later this year and see what Sprint has to offer for LTE phones, and better processor's too.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lol I still have 1year and 11 months left.. So I been happy with my EVO 3D :D I also don't have 4G in my area and I think sprint will never get it up and going....
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
Just get the iPhone and be done with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lmao a crapple apple phone really :rolleyes: :p lol...

[HTC EVO 3D] evolving:
id rather not have a phone than to wander around the icrap store with ppl that are like wow look at what this phone does,when, what it does is so 6 months ago.we would blow thier minds with our phones!and to the point if your wanting something exciting and diff it may happen by the end of the year but i just dont see a phone being much more than my shooter right now as far as the wow factor goes.

[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
I'm not going to jump ship but rather wait to pull up to port to see whats next. I would not even consider another dual core when quad cores are on the way. Next phone will also be LTE compatible.
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisDos:
My next phone will be on sprint and will support LTE on both of springt's frequencies, 800Mhz and 1.9Ghz(I think). Quadcore on 28nm die. 4.5" screen. After seeing what HTC did with the bootloader, I'd like to see a Nexus device on sprint that supports the LTE I'm looking for.
[HTC EVO 3D] GGerk:
I love my evo3d, running Myns 547 nightly, Anthrax kernel and system tuner to keep the voltage low for great battery usage. As long as people dont chase all the developers away with their complaining, this phone will only get better with all the creative talent here at xda
[HTC EVO 3D] royshero:
Hopefully in about a month we will know what the next one is. Hope it's quad core and big
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
To be honest switching phones right now and extending your contract for a phone of this time is really stupid .

One they will be generally around the same specs so there's no point .

Just wait a year and a half when phones will have major upgrades and quad core.
[HTC EVO 3D] royshero:
True that. Once we get ics are phones will be insane. If it's anything short of quad or 4.7in I'm staying. Very pleased with the 3d so far.

[SOLVED]

Hi there peoples..

I bought Xplay 2 days ago..

All working fine,except there is some minor bug.

I turn on the audible selection and screen lock sounds,but it has very low sounds,even if i maxed the media volume.But when i reset setting the phones (not factory reset) then it fines,until after open some apps,then the bug strike back again.

The speaker seems fine,i test out all,such as play game,music,dial phone,etc

I pulled out the battery also,but not fixed the problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Doesn't download mode do that? Excuse me if I'm wrong.

Edit: LOL not if your bricked it doesnt. Could we use a working skyrocket to get the correct files to fix a bricked one using QPST?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Download mode does, yes, but you can't read or write from QPST in it. You get a "Phone did not answer/respond/whatever" error back.

What I would say needs to be figured out first is how to get a non-brick and a bricked one recognized as a COM port. Really annoying, but QPST doesn't work otherwise...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Sorry for the question, but what exactly is QPST? I've never heard of that before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Qualcomm Product Support Tools. It's a program used by Qualcomm to program Qualcomm chips in phones. Can flash/backup software, program the phone's service, check/change EEPROM settings, EFS settings, etc. It's free software, but I do NOT recommend looking through it and tweaking things if you don't know what you're doing... Quite a bit in there that's really easy to mess up. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nkamurlekar:
it does recognize the phone on COM 2 port via QPST. QPST will detect the phone in download mode on COM2. I think we will need the bin flash files... someone needs to extract/backup the files using QPST on working SkyRocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Send me a link to what version of QPST your using. I can't get it to see my device at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Stated this earlier...

It recognizes the port, sure, but won't do anything since download mode boots the phone a bit different. QPST doesn't recognize it as a phone, so it won't go any further.

Would recommend this until we, if at all possible, figure something out to get it out of this state.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nkamurlekar:
Try Opening QPST Configuration program and then use combination of Vol up/down + power and then putting the battery... once it detect the phone.. Open software download program and see if you can back the phone...

You could also try totally discharging the battery...solved that issue on my Tab 8.9 LTE (same SoC as the SR), and it was a surefire way of fixing the dreaded "APX loop" on Tegra 2 Tabs (APX is Nvidia's version of QPST).

GOOD NEWS GUYS! :D

Got the phone to be recognized as a COM port and backing up the image now in QPST! (Edit: Backed up successfully!)

For those curious, here's a quick walkthrough (FOR WORKING SKYROCKET):

1. Download Anycut from the Market

2. On home screen, make a Shortcut, AnyCut, then look for PhoneUtil, click Ok on name

3. Open new shortcut and set USB to Modem

4. Plug in phone to computer and wait for drivers to install, and the port should now be recognized by QPST

5. Under QPST Configuration, you should now see your phone listed (probably with an ESN of 7FFFFFFF)

6. Go to Start Clients>Software Download

7. Backup tab, Start, and it should back up the NV data.

That's half the work there! I don't have a bricked phone, so I don't know how to get this BACK on to one, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

EDIT: Another quick edit. Took the plunge risking bricking my phone, and tried restoring that image I just made and it worked great! Did a reboot just like it should have and I'm back to my home screen. :D

And quick question, is the NV data what we need to get these things back up and running, or does something else need to be backed up?
