[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
I think the question is, will returning my $200 after upgrade EVO LTE between 15-30 days allow me to exchange it for another phone that costs $200 after upgrade, or will I have to pay 550 for the S3 and my phone is only worth $200.

If it's the latter, that's not an exchange at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DroidRC1:
Just call best buy about the $50 gift card I didn't get and they email me a downloadable gift card! I just got it that is how you take care of a customer!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Wasney:
It's the first. During the return period you qualify for upgrade price with exchanges.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
how many returns are you allowed (is there one in the policy)?? I had to take back a couple lemons and when I got mine the BBY rep said this is the last evo they'll give me, but if I want to go with the s3 would I be able to? it would be my 3rd exchange and I probably wouldn't go to the same store
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
So basically if BB has a Galaxy S3 on the 22 I can upgrade. Otherwise I get something like the Nexus or sell it later.. Hmm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shrimpdumpling:
Call the best buy store or customer service?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phantomevo77:
Correct. 30 day exchange period goes off what discount you got on the phone.. so you got a 2 yr upgrade price discount. Within 30 days you can exchange that phone for another phone at the 2 yr upgrade price discount. If that makes sense
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tourbound129:
I called the best buy store today and the mobile rep got my name, number and receipt number and told me he needed to call to get the gift card. About 5 minutes later he called me back and told me I should have the gift card email within the next hour. About 5 minutes after I hung up I got an email notification from best buy mobile with my gift card. Purchased 2 evos with best buy and had great experience each time. They will be getting my business again in 18 months as I signed up for buy back on both phones.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Curb71:
The best buy I bought my phone at would not do the 50 gift card & price match. I finally went to another best buy today and they were happy to price match. They put $42 back on my credit card.

Also I read that phone freedom is back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Do you have any links or support information. Exactly what is back?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carnitas63:
What if i used the phone freedom 50.00 discount does that mean i have to pay the difference for the phone or would it be an even exchange
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CaptainCool:
Yes. You basically have to surrender the gift card, or pay the difference.

Autocorrected by my EVO 4G LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MadFlava:
I returned mine today. I cant deal with the terrible reception this phone has. Ive already been trapped once by Sprint with the E4GT and its not going to happen again. Ive got my OG Evo back in service and while its a great phone, it runs games and stuff like crap, Im sure due to it being so old.

I dont know what Im going to do. I had intended to go to Tmobile but it doesnt look like thats going to happen either so I guess Im going to wait on the SGS3 and see whats thats all about but I dont think there is any cure for Sprint's ****ty network. Even my OG Evo which used to perform flawlessly drops calls all over the place and has spotty data almost everywhere I go. It aint the phone, its Sprint although the E4G LTE has its own issues.. it doesnt help that its on a subpar network.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jvs60:
Lol!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P. Dexter85:
Exactly. I never posed as an employee. I am in this just as much as everyone else. I pre-ordered my phone too and I'm pissed as well. What I'm generally saying is right now its been a back and forth of some stores having them early and others never receiving a shipment. I give and get info on here like everyone else and like everyone I'm entitled to my opinion. I never told you I worked for Best Buy but you know what they say about people who assume......hmmm. Moving along...anything else from HTC or Sprint?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jygsaw:
Someone from Best Buy called me today and pretty much told me that the phone was delayed and they'd call again when they have a date. That pretty much put a damper on my lunch break/rest of day :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ktulu909:
This could be serious,or a genius method of creating hype.Anyone remember how hard it was to get a Wii when they first came out?Everyone wants the thing that they can't have :-)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
The only reason i pre-ordered at bb was for the $50 gc and the $100 credit for trading in my evo. This will probably drag out long enough since the $100 evo trade ends on 6/2 that we will get screwed on most if not all the promos. This makes me even more unhappy the employee made me pay $50 to get the $50 gc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dhoshman:
I'm in SoCal and I just called my local BB and was told its a no go for the Evo on Friday due to customs. Also was told there is no release date for the Evo currently due to the customs problem. Sucks for us, Sprint, HTC, BB, and everyone involved. I love Apple computers but as a company this **** is ridiculous and it really harms the perception of their company. Also like everyone else has stated the patent system is completely ass backwards and prehistoric. Sorry for cursing if I offended anyone but I had to get it off my chest. I was really excited for Friday now that's a complete wash. I know you all feel my pain.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AngelofChaos:
I still haven't received any sort of notification by e-mail or phone regarding my preorder from Best Buy. Granted its a little under 48 hrs until the presumed launch date so I'm going to assume what the manager told me over the phone today as to them having an early stock of the phones as true - though I still don't believe it, considering whats been going on. If they aren't there Friday morning, I'll most likely be canceling.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sephirothvfc:
We got a email saying that best buy will not be recieving the evo until further notice. Correction notices have been posted around the.mobile department to let ppl know
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shellguy:
I received a call from my pre order store, all units of the EVO have been held @ customs from what she was told. She will call me when they are ready to be sold.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
At least some of your best buy's have the courtesy to call you. My best buy barely took any of my information and certainly will not be calling me. I will have to rely on this thread probably to know when best buy gets the pre-orders in and starts selling.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iNT0XiC8D:
I received a call from BB as well. Boooo....

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
It's $50 trade in for the EVO 4G and it has been said like 300 times. I'm not even sure why you paid the $50 if you've been reading this thread. If the employee had even taken 35 seconds to read the info about the launch, he would understand. So, essentially, you aren't getting anything back if you paid $50 to get a $50 gift card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Its a $50 trade and a $50 giftcard for trading in the evo. There is also the $50 card for pre-ordering the device. I tried to not pay the $50, it came down to pay the $50 or you wont have a preorder. I had to get back to work so it wasnt worth arguing any further. As long as the phone launches before 6/2 im walking in with my $50 gc in hand, receiving my other $50 gc for pre-ordering and trading my evo for $100 off. I will be paying nothing but the taxes since i already paid $50.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] john1028:
If you paid taxes on the gc you shouldn't have to pay taxes again. If your balance is $50 or less you just walk out paying nothing out of pocket.

Personally I believe keeping the phone is better than $50 or any insurance policy. I can just activate the EVO if anything happens to my new phone and not really miss a beat.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
i'll be going to bestbuy EARLY EARLY fri morning, and just play dumb.

say i got the 18th email, and hope my phone is there.

if not, oh well, gives me more time to save money instead of using my BB card.

ive yet to recieve a call, or updated email from bestbuy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suprmallet:
I also went with BB and haven't gotten an update email. I assume I'd hear something one way or the other tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Just met up with one of the guys from mobile at the bar. He said they haven't gotten word to not sell either the One X or the LTE so they are going to sell, unless directed otherwise. However, they said they may not get inventory. They don't have any right now, maybe tomorrow when the truck comes in or if they drop ship them on Friday.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jabawockee:
I just stopped by the Sprint store today inquiring about the LTE. The employee told me that even if they had the phones it would be illegal to sell it until the whole debacle clears. Now I take that with a grain of salt because 99% of the time those guys dont know what the hell their talking about. I cant stand the employees at Sprint, thats why I preordered mine at BB.

BB employee news article

so i haven't posted 8 times and i can't post a pic. but if someone wants to see the employee article stating up to $150 GC and $50 instant savings i'll email it to them or email them the tiny pic link.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] downsouth11:
Good friend of mine from BB in Miami Beach said they would be calling all customers who placed a preorder to let them know the phone will not be available Friday. I do not know if this is a companywide policy.

He also said that they are doing this mainly to be proactive. They are not 100% sure they will not be selling the phone on Friday, but they rather have to make a second call letting customers know that they did receive the phone on time. They feel that next week is the latest the phones will be shipped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JeanP1234:
Hello everyone,

I have buy a penta band note form Canadagsm, I have problem because when I receive it it is not unlock.

It take them one week to give me the unlock code (after 3 emails), after this it work good on AWS bands, now I have a question and I did not know if I am in the good section of the forum to ask this.

It is possible to "lock" the note in landscape mode?

I try to play with the setting, but it did not work.

Thanks for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Not with stock (or even any current custom ROM).

There's an app on the market (paid) that does it though.

Found a free one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker&hl=en

I'll test it out later to see how it works.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] straylight:
I noticed something after the latest update. Players like Dice-player and other media players can no longer stream media to my Kindle.

I have shows shared via Windows file share (SAMBA). Normally I could find these and play them on home home network via kindle. After Kindles latest update, I get the message "this media is not capable of streaming". Then the program starts to download the entire file to my kindle and THEN play it.

Its effectively neutered all media except local files or Amazon Instant video.

Has anyone noticed similar behavior?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrmulio:
try bs player, i found it streams better over smb from my nas than dice did for me at least

What's the current fastest, most stable, ROM for this device? My boss just go this and is switching from the iPhone and I need a ROM for it that wont give her issues.

Thanks!

Three letters: S-O-S.
[EVO 4G General] meirg:
Any particular flavor you recommend for someone coming from the iPhone? :)
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
i have four letters for you A O S P lol gingerbread build to be exact lol sos is stable and fast ( and a side note pick the one with most of sense removed would work in my book too lol) but losing sense imo makes it more stable and faster :)
[EVO 4G General] Kev1jm2:
SOSx, stable release. Then flash underworld kernel v5. Smooth as silk, rock steady.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
That's mah boy.

Personally, I reccomend straight up CM7, plenty of themes to choose from, or team nocturnal's Xplod rom. Use either the tiamat kernel 3.3.7 or 4.1.
[EVO 4G General] guih:
If you go for sense digital karma is also a really good ROM to use
[EVO 4G General] Angelus359:
Swagged out stock n is faster than sswagged out stock x or s... I use that with aggressive lionfish kernel
[EVO 4G General] AFschizoid:
Why use a sense Rom that has the stock phone.apk removed? Can't do ##codes with SOS n. But yes it is very fast
[EVO 4G General] Cool Cake:
This is a hard decision because the Evo4G is quite possible the best supported device on XDA....a quality problem. That being said....

Another option is Evo4G Classic. Currently at a preview version 0.06 that will be bumped to a finale "Supermagic" 0.1.

The dev is Tommy Tomato and if you look at the credits of most of the above roms and other Evo4g dev posts, his name will be there. Also the community is very friendly.

I've tried all of the above ROM and then some and the are all GREAT options.

The thing I notice about Evo users in general is that the vast majority are friendly and generous.

Good Luck,

I think the main question (for an ex-iPhone user) is how do you want your user experience. Sense is a more intuitive interface (IMHO) bloated, but easy to understand with many widgets to keep your info at your fingertips.

One thing that bothers me about a pure gingerbread android ROM (CM7) is that there is no organic way to access (view/dial) contact groups. And for a business owner who does all of my lead generation, I need a fast way to keep my prospects in view.

Just my 2 cents.

Are you guys for real,heres the perfect rom for your boss,i noticed it is a female,soo here.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1584137 im working on getting the pics back up now,i deleted them by accident.

[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
Fastest and most stable rom isn't even out yet. Keep your eyes peeled for decks reloaded in the near future. Blows any iPhone to dust.
[EVO 4G General] vader5998:
I'd have to agree with Big Smoke on this one. Been running the Reloaded preview since it was released and this thing is great. So if the official Reloaded is anything like Jamie-G says and blows the preview out of the water it's going to be the ROM to run.
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
This is my personal tweaked CM9 that I'm currently using. If you don't like any of the 3rd party apps I included, simply delete them from the /data/app folder of the zip.

BUGS

Using the Long Press Volume Rocker Track Skip defaults to the stock Music.apk no matter what. Either uninstall Music.apk (use Titanium Backup Pro or similar) or delete /system/app/Music.apk from the zip before install if you plan on using 3rd Party Music Apps. That's a bug with CM9 (all versions).

Beats Audio disables the CM9 DSP Manager, available in optional cwm zip.

Flash doesn't work. Need a user of stock CM9 to determine if its a bug of the rom or CM9.

Recommended to do.

1. Open Terminal, type "su", type "kak.sh", use option "5" then use option "7", then use "13" to exit script.

2. While still in terminal, type 3g.sh, use option "k" and allow the io scheduler tweaks. Exit the script and terminal.

3. Open No-Frills Cpu, select BOOSTEDassV2 as the governor and noop as the io scheduler, select apply on boot. OR Open CM9 Performance Settings, select BOOSTEDassV2 and apply on boot.

4. Reboot phone.

The "" aren't supposed to be typed in the terminal, only there to the separate commands from the text.

Its also a good idea to disable either the CM9 lockscreen or the MiHome lockscreen when using the MiHome Launcher. Go to Settings\Security for the CM9 Lockscreen or Launcher Settings for the MiHome Lockscreen. Miui Android Black 2.3 lockscreen fully works with no Chinese Characters, not included.

[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Yes, other than any problems that CM9 may have.

There's also a MiHome Launcher available from MIUI.ES and it may be in Spanish. I haven't installed it so I don't know. Here's the link if you care to try.

flash player work
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Youtube's a bit choppy, not by much (seemed like buffering problems at beginning 10~20% of the video, the rest played fine). That's all the flash I've tried. I was also overclocked with 300\20, 700\42, and 1100\55 using BOOSTEDassV2 governor.

Forgot to add. Using the Long Press Volume Rocker Track Skip defaults to the stock Music.apk no matter what. Either uninstall Music.apk (Titanium Backup Pro or similar) or delete /system/app/Music.apk from the zip before install if you plan on using 3rd Party Music Apps. That's a bug with CM9 (all versions).

If you try the miui.es MiHome Launcher, let me know if its in Spanish and I'll update the first post accordingly.

I'll install and try it out, but after reading the user reviews, it seems it has sync issues with all ICS roms. I'll post back after trying it out.

UPDATE

App works until you try to actually view something. Not sure if its a flash, CM9, or Veetle TV problem.
[Bravo Android Development] mataflakitas:

wifi

wi-fi was working then when i messed with profile(everything enable) wi-fi wont even turn back on. is this an issue? or do i gotta re-flash and not mess with profile?
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
If you're refering to the screen off sleep policy, I've changed to "Always On When Plugged In" (a must if you tether your home wifi) and haven't had any problems. I did have a few issues with "Never" on the last 2 CM9 releases (04\13 and 04\17) where wifi wouldn't come back on until either Airplane Mode was enabled, Deleting and Reentering my my router info\password, Rebooting and Cache\Dalvik wipe, or a combination of all 3. I've also had similar issues with CM7 in the past.

Did you use the 3g.sh and option 7? That's the Wifi Afterburner setting. I'm using it and haven't had any problems with wifi since I installed the rom yesterday. My only wifi "problem" is the battery drain.

I did have to reset my router info (on phone,not router) 30 minutes after install to fix wifi not connecting once, but haven't had any problems since. Also installed Wifi Afterburner at the same time, so I can't honestly say if the reset or Afterburner was the fix.

If your router saves its settings during a power outage, try unplugging it and your modem for a few minutes to clear their cache out.....Fixes PSN issues (not on wifi, ever) and my Parents' iPhones when they don't connect to home wifi.

I don't have this case, but looking at it, it looks like a good case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lindenhurst:
Looks a bit bulky, and there are plenty of cases for much less. I bought the S-line case for under $10 bucks and it works great. DO I really like it??? Not really. I prefer the Note without a case, but I sure don't want to drop it.

I use the Samsung flip case mostly, even though it is not wearing well. I dropped the phone once and the Samsung flip case actually came off of the phone. No damage to phone though. Must have landed just right, because the flip case offers zero side protection.

Sweet Armors motto from their home page.

"We firmly believe that only by adhering to keep the original, innovative, and continuously improve their product quality, and through responsible business practices to obtain the consumer market, industry colleagues and the whole trust of the community to build first-class international brand."

So.....what are they saying again? hehehe . I get a kick out of some of the sites that seem to pop up overnight every time a new phone model comes out. The prices are wayyyyyyyy too high as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
Well case-mate has a rather large list of products, yes they're expensive and bulky but honestly I'll spend the $30 for a case that I can drop because I am that clumsy. I like the Sedio's Active case series, I like the otterbox commuter series cases. I have big pants, I'm willing to spare the room to make sure my phone is protected.

Also Sweet Armor makes me laugh, they charge double the price of everyone else for a quarter of the material.

I posed this because I thought someone like me would like a thicker case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Got these from Amazon, I ordered two of them for a total of $41.95.

Of all the "heavy duty" cases available for the note, this one seems to be the smallest in terms of bulk.

There's already a review on this here in the forum, but basically it fits great, it looks great, it feels great, and the only complaint I can make about it is that the upper and bottom portions have the Silicone inner case exposed, and we all know those things are dust magnets and don't fit snugly like a TPU does. I wish the polycarb hardcase wrapped around both of those ends.
