[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cordy:
Here is a link to Android Police's Review - > http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...view-sometimes-the-ugly-ones-try-the-hardest/

Gotta love reviews and the fact that they really are just opinions of the person reviewing it. It's an interesting read nonetheless. Couple of things I take out of it;

1. Just like everyone else including most of us, we all liked the look of the One X and he really hates that Sprint and HTC deviated from that. Especially the top plastic cover. Personally spends too much time complaining about the design decisions.

2. He also really likes stock Android and hates Sense. Again shares some of the common complaints such as the recent apps menu being different than stock and the software menu button. Also interestingly complains about bloatware but realistically there is only one app that should be considered bloatware and thats Sprint Zone. Every other app he mentions comes stock on every other HTC phone. And lets face it every carrier uses their own visual voicemail and hotspot apps, the latter being to have control over tethering. Also call me crazy but he complains about Sense not being landscape but I have landscape Sense running a 4.0 rom and I'm pretty sure that was one of the added features to 4.0.

Either way everything is subjective and it makes for an interesting read as long as you objectively respect he is entitled to his opinion and it is in fact that his opinion. For me it flirts close to the line of knitpicking each and everything that goes against what the reviewer prefers and is accustomed to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Legendary20:
Thanks man added the link to the op. Which would spark a very noob question. What does OP stand for?

Most the reviews I seen thought sense was either ok or just terrible. Phil from androidcentral seem to be one of the few that actually liked it over stock android. Me personally I haven't use sense 4 yet but I'm impatiently waiting.

I'll try to keep the OP is up to date as I can which shouldn't be hard considering I'm graduating High School Friday. So I have nothing but time until August.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cordy:
OP stands for Original Post(er).

Yeah most reviewers dislike Sense compared to Stock however even the most anti Sense reviewers have stated that Sense 4 is a lot better than previous iterations and end up enjoying it even if they aren't crazy about it. I know we all have our personal preferences but facts are the only true Stock phone is a Nexus phone. Every manufacturer puts a skin on their phone. It's just something people will need to accept. So depending on which skin you like the most you should choose your phone accordingly. If you like stock buy a Nexus. It's easy for these reviewers to complain though cause they get these phones handed to them rather than going out and buying them in most cases.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Legendary20:
Added BGR and Pocketlint for the hell of it.

Pocketlint really didnt review much.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
Well All I can say from my memory about that review is that who the F is going to be watching the back cover, Most people don't go around showing their phones from the back. His biggest gripe about the back is moot since the phone will probably be in a case, or mainly viewed from the "FRONT". ROFL what a joke review.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Legendary20:
That's true but some people have different needs than others so if his is having a fashionable phone then you got to respect that

GSM arena's review is out:

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_4g_lte-review-762.php

A review that actually doesn't hold the EVO 4G LTE at fault for the shortcomings of the Sprint network.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Legendary20:
It was a nice detailed review.

That is the biggest knock on the evo in the reviews that it didn't have a 4g network.

You can't fault the HTC for that. Now customs need to stop bullshiting and let it be release.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Nice review, but they call the phone a One X at least twice that I saw, haha. Can't wait to see how great the battery life really is!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
There's a pretty in depth review on phonescoop too.

http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=10427

I'm bothered by the comments under the sound section. Sure I use the phone for data, but i use it just as much for calls (using the ear piece). Will have to wait for some demo phones at stores before truly committing to the purchase.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Legendary20:
Thanks bro added to the op

Most reviewers have said the sound was good enough for calls. Nothing spectacular but good nonetheless
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I played with a GN at a sprint store the other day. Thought the volume was very loud and clear on a call to 611. Phonescoop's review of that phone also finds the sound quality lacking. I will definitely have to test the thing out before trading in my old evo. I expect the sound quality to be at least as loud/clear (running cm7 with the audio boosted kernel).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I think some people are to big of audiofiles and want perfect sound out of a cellphone lol as long as its loud n doesn't sound like a half blown speaker or something I'm happy lol want better sound get a BT
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
Some of the reviewers that bash Sprint seem to be biased against Sprint. The phone should be evaluated not the network that it arrives on. Yes, a note should be made about network performance, but if the phone is a 10 dock .5-1.0 for that issue instead of going off in tangents about it just list it as a con!

IMHO the nay sayer's for Sprint will be jumping ship to come aboard when NV starts to launch on Sprint by months end.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ECrispy:
It's amazing how these professional reviewers try so hard to find fault with android phones, yet fall over themselves praising the iPhone.

This is the phone they should have released globally.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Legendary20:
Pocketnow and Techradar review is up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kyle_G:
I find this to be an extremely accurate statement.

When I see a review for a phone all I care about is the phone, not the network the phone is on. I'm aware of the networks of each carrier and I am aware of the pros/cons of each.

For what it's worth I spend a majority of the time on Wi-Fi networks and get great network reliability.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
Until the devs get the CRT animation for ICS sorted you can use this app

Screen off and lock

The donate version has loads of different screen off animaions including "Old style tv"...

Also, you can put an application shortcut onto your homescreen, so I suppose its a bit like an on screen button mod for your power button as well.....(Not quite, but close enough)

Check this you tube video

Hope this helps untill we get a native solution

Confirmed working on my stock ICS with modified stock kernel.

EDIT:

This may help the devs get a bit closer to a permanant fix

http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/message/169101

I tried this, I didnt get a bootloop, but I also did not get the crt screen off animation...maybe I just missed something.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armerad:
Hello everyone, I'll get straight to the point.

I have a 32gb White Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Verizon LTE, to be clear.

I upgraded my device to ICS (AOKP), without realizing they hadn't figured out data yet.

Sadly, I forgot to make a backup of my pre-ICS device.

Could someone please tell me how to get back to 3.2 from a 4.0 ROM, without restoring a NANDroid backup? (Or provide me with a 3.2 Backup off of someone else's Tab, assuming this is legal and allowed on the forums)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drhunter:
You should be able to download a rom on you PC then transfer it to your tab. You can flash from 4 to 3 without issue but make sure you do a factory reset in CWM recovery before you flash.

Edit:

You could try a different ICS rom. I'm sure that the latest AOKP and CM9 roms have data working.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armerad:
The newest AOKP for the i905 is Milestone 5 (The one I'm on), which is only one release away from the newest, Release 35. I'm staring at my i905 right now and it has no data.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
1) Download a ROM (zip file) and put it on your tablet.

2) Hold down the power button for a couple of seconds. Restart into recovery.

3) In Recovery, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache (in advanced).

4) Now click install ZIP; choose the ROM you want to flash and click yes.

When it finishes, click reboot. Give it at least half an hour before messing with it. First boots can take a very long time. You're golden.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armerad:
After downloading the official EL01 3.2 .zip file for the i905 (From http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15138-of...x-update-file-for-the-vzw-lte-galaxy-tab-101/ )

and trying to install it via CWM, went through the following steps.

-- Installing: /sdcard/3.2 leak update.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation Aborted.

As you can see, this is quite problematic. Any help would be appreciated.

After more searching, I have found a CWM Backup provided by a member of the forums, although the backup is from the 10.1V. Would that be compatible with mine? The backup in question is at

You will need to use Odin I think to restore your tab.

Go look at the guides on here, and follow the steps
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Honestly, I think you should stop messing with your tablet. This stuff isn't that simple, and you're making it pretty apparent that you're not doing your own research. I'd take a step back, turn off the tablet and put it on the shelf, and start reading some more of this forum before I did anything else with the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armerad:
With all due respect, what have I done to make it apparent I'm not doing my own research? I've been reading across the main forums to try and fix my predicament for the past week or so, however the i905 support is very sparse compared to the other versions of the Tab 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MediocreHippie:
I'm having lots of problems with my i905 as well. I can't even find a working CWM. (mine is US Cellular) Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
If you can't restore to stock 3.2 try going to stock 3.1 first and then updating manually by repeatedly checking for updates. Once back to 3.2 my suggestion is to root and make an nandroid backup in CWM manually periodically and keep a copy on your PC. That way you can immediately restore via CWM the next time you test out another ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woffoja:
Sympathy

If its any consolation (and I'm sure it's not) I did the exact same thing. Spent a good but of time researching to get this root/upgrade done, and did not see anywhere that 4G/LTE is still not working on even the newest builds of AOKP. Just finding the correct CWM was a challenge as there's not a lot of information on the i905.

Very frustrated at the fact that AOKP actually advertises a VZW build without telling you that this build basically turns your tablet into a WiFi only device. Its absolutely useless given that I pay for a 5GB data plan on this tablet, and am now having to decide if I should keep waiting in anticipation that someone may eventually fix the data issue, or spend time trying to downgrade back to 3.1/3.2 just so I can have my data outside of WiFi.

It's odd - I've probably spent 5 hours reading up on everything and completely missed that data isn't working. Either it's not obvious, or I really just missed it in my eagerness to get ICS working on the 10.1.

Is it just the modem "driver" that's missing? Are we going to have to wait until the actual Sammy/VZW build comes out to have a chance at a working custom ROM? So many unanswered questions.

I even read the "FAQ" and the closest thing I found (prior to install) was:

That to me implies data is working. Maybe it should be and something else is wrong.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armerad:
From something I read from around January (Having trouble finding the link), when the official ICS is released for our model, it will hopefully be a more viable future for our device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sangahm:
I see that there are many calendars available for nooks, but none seem to have a nice looking UI. My wife has an ipad which comes with a very nice display, along with day, week, month views and daily tasks and reminders. The closest I can find is Pocket Informant, but while this scores high in functionality, it just doesn't have that "wow" in appearance.

Are we stuck with these sub-par looks on android?

PS. I'm running CM7 on NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Well, the default CyanogenMod9 (ICS) calendar is really nice. But youre on CM7, id recommend flashing the CM9 rom instead, but thats user preferance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
There are a ton of calendar and task widgets out there for Android. They won't change the guts of the calendar, but they will affect how you interact with it. I'd recommend trying out Android Pro Widgets by Dr. Appche or Agenda Widget by Everybody All The Time. Android Pro is skinnable (and has many other widgets besides calendar). Agenda Widget isn't skinnable, but you can configure pretty much every aspect of the widget to your heart's content.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] balrog558:
You should check out business calendar free, it is pretty user friendly and allows you to sync with your Gmail calendar. The widget is also useful and lets you have all of your upcoming events on the homescreen. Plus, its free.

Try aCalendar from the Play store. I use it on my phone and NT.
[General Questions and Answers] dstarfire:
Solution: Apparently, switching from the stock rom to CM9 fixes this problem. At least with firefox.

Setup: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Player. The wireless network where I volunteer has a proxy on their wireless that requires you to login before you can access the internet.

Thankfully, it's set up so that (on a properly functioning device) any website you visit is replaced by the login page if you're not logged in. After you login, that same page refreshes to the url you originally entered.

Behavior

On my laptop, and my friends iphone, this works just fine. However, on my droid it does not, whether I use the built in web browser, firefox, or opera. Instead of the login page, I get the standard 'page load error' page.

If I input the url for the login page it pulls up just fine, but does not redirect properly after I login. It simply reloads the same page over and over, simply appending (rather than replacing) the url of the site I want to visit to the login page's url. This same behavior occurs if (after logging in) I type a url directly into the address box.

I've tried a few different proxy apps, and configured them to what I think is the proxy (determined with tracert on laptop), but get the same page loading error, even with the login page.

[General Questions and Answers] astratb:
Did you do all the wipes?

Try wipping data/factory reset and then reinstall the rom.

Then do the wipes again a try using the phone.

One or two reboots might also help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NickTsilo:
I realized there hasn't been a topic on this for the Skyrocket. After experiencing the bugs on ICS roms I needed to find a rom that will get be as stable as a rock. I am currently using NexusMoD GB 4.3 and I find it to be very good. My battery life on it has been OK not that great. It seems to me that the ICS roms where running just fine for the most part for me, even battery life was decent, but I had weird bugs where I wouldn't receive SMS or Calls, and my texts would say they sent but they wouldn't even actually send. This would happen at random times even though it worked most of the time. Any favorite stable roms guys?

I've been using the same ROM you are using. I've found that battery life has been pretty consistent among all the ROMs, which is to say sadly, not very good. It works pretty well overall with just a few hiccups here and there. I have had numerous issues with various ICS ROMs. I tried 3 of them (including SkyICS) and they either didn't run well, or in one case it just plain didn't work at all. That's why I went back to a GB Rom. YMMV but if I were you I'd stick with your ROM until ICS gets a formal release and see what the community does with that.
