K heres the latest (we r making progress!)

I got my device to be detected by my PC and used KFutility to change it to normal boot. Now instead of booting into recovery everytime it boots normally.... to a black screen (guessing my rom is shot or I deleted it while playing with it). The issue is the ONLY time my PC recognizes my kindle is for a .5 second period when i first turn my KF on and the yellow triangle appears. I can use this window to change it to normal bootmode, reinstall TeamWin, stuff like that, but i cannot mount it so I can transfer or adb so I can push. You can watch device manager and it'll pop up ADB android phone or whatever it should but poof, a second later gone.

Get your device drivers working so you can use adb. Follow the instructions in the post below...

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anomiefaunus:
That is excellent advice and I wish it would work but I cannot pull up ADB once in TeamWin. Keeps saying no devices. As i said my PC detects it and ADB will detect it for .5 seconds on the orange triangle. Once the orange triangle disappears and it either boots to blackness or boots to TeamWin ADB stops recognizing my device. But I will play around with your suggestions once I get off work and let you know what i find out. Thanks again for everyones support.

Frozen screen during rooting

Hi,

I am new to the forum. I have a kF screen stuck (where it says 'kindle fire') while I was trying to root it. I tried hard reset, charging for half hour, calling AMAZON...nothing works. The screen goes off if I hold it for 20 seconds but when I put it back on same thing. I was trying to root it with 'fastboot (?). Is there anything at all I can do? Thanks.:(

Phone Dog seems to have a nice video review of the EVO 4G LTE. Aaron really is becoming an excellent phone reviewer. I like the way he always goes through the apps and screens to show how the phone truly works rather than make opinionated reviews with out detailed video explanations to back what he says. HE really has nice things to say about battery life if anyone is interested. All I can say is damn.....this phone is really fast.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
Troubled times needs a little inspiration to show that the trouble and wait is worth it or not. I see some people debating canceling their order with no other phone coming with in the next few weeks. Those people need inspiration to be patient! Did you hear that part where Aarons says the camera best the mighty iPhone, and calls this the best phone on the market today!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ajonesma:
I just finished watching his review. I really like his reviews, they are almost better than Android Central's. I'm just waiting for this whole thing to get straightened out so I can actually purchase my EVO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jabawockee:
Best review I saw so far. I got to see what I'm looking forward to. Made me feel a little better during these troubled times. :);):cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyapd21:
Yeah very good review. I also agree with him about Sprints pathetic 3G download speeds. They really need to speed the NV upgrade up before they lose a ton of customers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
It wasn't like this a few months ago, because I was able to get 1MB up, and down on 3G in some areas. In the last month or so it has become terrible. LOS, dropped calls delayed text messages. I hope network vision upgrades are complete here in NYC.

I was told by a CS rep that network upgrades are the problem because network vision is being rolled out very soon. I know NYC market is listed as a 1st round market for network vision to come live in 2012. I am hoping this pain will stop in June or there about!

Also may I reiterate that Aaron does a very good video review for each phone that seems fair, unbiased, and truthful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Viridus:
I agree with you regarding the speeds. I live in Columbus, OH right now and used to get around 800-1000kbps during the day. Now its absolutely atrocious, though Columbus isn't even on the NV roll out list. Hopefully we can get LTE here before the end of 2013.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
As bad as sprint 3g has been I'm still able to stream google music and spotify with no problems. But its always ugly in the speed test app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thesabri:
Viridus

If u don't have the speedtest app download it, once downloaded change which server u use. I connect to Radnor and get better speeds than I do on the Columbus tower
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
What happened when u change the server? Does that mean actual 3G data speeds will be faster?

Sent from my BadAzzEvo using Forum Runner!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thesabri:
Yes either slower or faster depending on where u r and which tower u choose to connect
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Viridus:
It won't actually change your 3G speed in browsing the web, just your results in the SpeedTest app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
Honestly, although I like and want this ELTE device. I feel like we r being played by Sprint. I used to work for them for 5 yrs as a CSR and I like them for their plans and devices. I dont want anyone to think I'm just hating on them. I really enjoy my service and plan and genuinely roll with Sprint, but c'mon.

I mean, we have to pay an additional fee for "premium" data, but a lot of ppl don't have access to premium data. They were told they wld be rolling out 4G nationwide (for the most part) which is still not accessible nationwide. Now, all smart phones pay an additional fee? Sounds like we were hood-winked and that's just not right.

And about this release date being push-back b/c of CBP, this is absolutely insane! Ok, so you have a press conference saying this high-end (flagship) phone will be released on 5/18 for a network that's won't initially be ready until June, possibly. Then we are expected to go back to using 3G (EVO owners with 4G coverage) until the network catches up, right? And still pay an additional fee!? That's also insane and confusing like the guy in the reviews said.

My problem with that is that u have HTC, Sprint, and At&t, which are very big companies that are waiting on a major flagship device. You mean to tell me that noone is any of these organizations had the foresight to say, "now u know there's some patent issues and the phones may not get imported?" Noone in any of these companies had the intelligence to think, what if? What contingency plan do we have? And to make it worse, some ppl can't cancel their order?? That's Sprint saying hell no you not getting your money back even though we fudged up, you're going to wait until the phone arrives and then send it back. Yea right? After we've been drooling over the phone, we're gonna send it back once we get it? I don't think so.....I just feel like the end-user always gets "it" up the rear with no lub!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
You are making the same mistake almost everyone else (and everyone who complains about that 10.00 data charge as far as I know) does:

Premium data does not mean 4G. It means premium data. Flip phones don't have that fee.

After the Hero came out and other smart phones became more prevalent, Sprint charged a fee that was initially erroneously assumed to be 4G related (because it came out with the Evo 4G). The data charge is simply due to the fact that smartphones use one HELL of a lot more data on the network than flip phones, or 'non-smart' phones do.

Sprint realized that as these phones became more common they were going to be adding to the networks in order to accommodate the influx of data use, and rather than simply raising the rates on their plans (which they should probably do so people stop *****ing about having to pay a '4G premium' (it isn't) when they don't have 4G service) they just added a line item surcharge.

It's not a '4g' charge. It's a charge for phones that use the most data on their networks. I find it to be eminently fair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
The ONE X launched on AT&T on 5/6. The ITC didn't ban imports on that device when it launched, so what would make HTC or Sprint think the evo launch would go any differently?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
Ok, I see your point! But what then does premium data mean? I think my TP2, Moto Q, used 3G and there wasn't an additional data fee. And I was informed by sprint that initially it was being charged b/c it was 4G device. And I believe initially only 4G devices were billed this fee. Now all smartphone are billed this fee. My point is, It's all about the money like everything else. I just think as big as Sprint is, they should know better than to count their eggs b4 they hatch.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
It was only the Evo that had that data fee in the beginning. But it was never a 4G fee. The reps made an invalid assumption....basically never believe anything you get from a Sprint rep.

What they did was hit EVERY smart phone after the Evo with that 10.00 fee, then grandfathered in the old smart phones like the Hero. The reason they didn't have that fee prior to that is because they realized that with newer phones having a higher capable speed, coupled with the massive amount of smart phones they already had in the pipeline, they were going to blow up in terms of data usage...so they instituted the fee and to the best of my knowledge have been using it for upgrades to the network.

Again, the fee came about due to the massive amounts of data that smart phones use, whether they're on 1x, 3g, 4g. They use a TON of data. Think about how many of your apps have an hourly poll to the network (weather, most widgets, etc), then multiply that by how many smartphones are on Sprint's network and you'll begin to see why they added that fee.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chasoo:
Aaron shows the best angles of this phone in any review yet. He tends to get off topic and only complain about Sprint's network in every review he does for the carrier, so at least he's consistent.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
Sounds more like submerged hate and grudge to me man. They can not control other things going wrong. Dan had no idea that Clearwire had no money to roll out Wimax. He even bought half the company to help them stay a float. LTE is different, and even with the 10.00 premium data they are cheaper than any other game in town. Get over it 10.0 for unlimited premium data is cheap.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyapd21:
I totally understand it's not a 4G fee. I get it's because smartphones use more data. But what I don't understand is what's considered "premium data"! Is 100kbs or 200kbs down premium data? I think not. We're barely getting any data let alone premium data. Also Sprint brags how they don't throttle data like Tmobile. Wow, I'm sure glad they don't throttle data because the 100kbs down I'm getting now will end up being 50kbs. Basically my phone is useless without a wifi connection which is really pathetic since I'm paying for and should be receiving premium data. I don't care about the stupid $10 charge just give me what I pay for. I would even pay $20 for consistant useable data speeds during peak hours.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
Agreed, but that's not off topic. Every one wants to know how it will perform data wise and with Sprint lately it must be frustrating to him. I know its frustrates me for sure to have such slow speeds and mostly los and dropped calls and messages showing up 3 days late recently.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
I'm not complaining. I actually agree with the 10.00 fee.

They should probably change the wording to 'smartphone fee' or something.

Premium doesn't refer to speed. It refers to AMOUNTS of data. In this case it refers to the fact that smartphones use a lot more data than dumbphones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
Premium data in my opinion is text messaging and internet....Verizon and AT&t charge more for
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
I dnt think it's premium data...

I don't mind the fee and I'm a huge Sprint cheerleader!

How does Dan not know that a company is broke? I'm sure he has resources that far out weigh ours...use them....sounds like Dan and his crew aren't the best decision makers...and i say that with love.

The actual price of this phone should be $100 or less and it should be an early upgrade for anyone who wants it. Did you see the phone dog review? This thing is a Corvette with an empty gas tank. How sprint can release a phone with no network anywhere to support it is beyond me. Heck yeah, great phone on att, not even up to original evo on sprint. If your out and need some information i will be happy to find it for you on wimax.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dally28:
Hey Fachadick....

My thoughts excactly....in fact, Sprint should SUE apple! Apple purposely held up a flagship device for a struggling company knowing this could bring them down. How did Apple purposely, because they let AT&T bring out the One X on their launch date May 6th, and they didn't block T-Mobile getting the HTC One S phone that is basically the same phone with the same OS. SUE SUE SUE I say!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
I've never had wimax so this phone is nothing but a upgrade for me. Plus the wifi I'm around is in the 30 to 40 MB download range.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyapd21:
"This thing is a Corvette with an empty gas tank." I believe that statement is the best analogy I've heard. The phone is a beast, just make sure you have wifi near by. :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
I was ok with the premium data fee, then Dan and Co. spent $15.5B to secure the iphone deal. Sprint has rarely been the leader in terms of the newest and greatest devices, but my friends were on Sprint long before i was, and their data speeds were some of the fastest I was seeing back then. Then the EVO came out, which is when i jumped in, and they remarked that the speed was starting to slow down, understandable because of the influx of EVO users. I defended the premium data fee using the same logic that they needed money to upgrade, and upgrade quickly as their speeds kept dropping.

Now they spend that large sum of money on securing the Iphone, which bogged them down even more because now there were people jumping ship due to the unlimited plans. I'm not sure if the revenues from the premium data fee went to that deal or not, but the result was the same. Maybe they were banking on wimax taking the load off of the 3g network? Maybe they are banking on LTE doing the same? Wimax didn't really take off as far as I'm concerned, markets that were promised wimax never got them.

Whenever i think of the bad decisions that Sprint has made in the past 2 years, i just think of the episode of Family Guy where Peter wrecks Joe's yard repeatedly with ridiculous vehicles like the Petercopter and the Hindenpeter and what Joe screams at Peter: "HOW DO YOU AFFORD THESE THINGS???"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shadowhawk2020:
I can't watch the review (would buffer forever on sprint speed in this building), does he mention multitasking at all?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
shadow i skimmed through the review real quick and didn't see anything on multitasking. They really like the phone except for 3g
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mlin:
that seems to be the consensus from many reviews. Seems weird to doc points on the overall review due to the network though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shadowhawk2020:
Hmmm either it isn't an issue, or it OS ignored.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
wake up the Evo didn't have 4G Wimax when it launched, and I have no problem buying this for the phone experience and then the LTE here in NYC should flip on by June or so....

If it bothers "you" that much don't buy it!:cool:;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Sorry, but this analogy is horrible. Corvettes ONLY are for driving - therefore useless if they have no gas. Our phones serve a LARGE purpose even without mobile Internet at all, but certainly with slow data too. Many, many users don't care much that they won't have 4G at first. WiFi is everywhere, and many of a phone's primary functions work perfect on a slow network.

To change your analogy to be something I find to be more accurate, I'll say our EVO 4G LTE is a Corvette that is running on low octane fuel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Actually, I don't even think apple had anything to do with it. I think it was some overeager government official with the ITC. I don't think there's some big conspiracy going on - I just brought that up to explain why Sprint and HTC didn't anticipate any issues with customs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
Yeah.. it was good before the iPhone came out. Although downtown, Verizon and AT&T are 1/10 of the speed of Sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
That's a worse analogy low octane fuel in a car designed for high octane can cause premature detonation and lead to damage in your cylinders.

The better analogy is buying a Corvette but only being allowed to drive it in a school zone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Haha you got me there, but it certainly isn't a WORSE analogy - at least it shows that the phone is still usable! However, our 3G speeds certainly shouldn't cause deterioration to our EVOs! :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
I dunno 3G isn't going to cost my Evo a new engine block. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
Is the correct definition of this device a "mobile smartphone"? In reality it's more of a "smart landline" My contract is about 13 months out so chances are i will get the next model of this phone and it is a really good phone but sprint could have done a much better job with the lte transition. I sure hope these networks roll out soon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krazygreen:
Not a fan of Aaron at all.

Not trying to say that it makes a difference, but the article he wrote a few months back proclaiming why he uses the iPhone 4s as his primary phone cast a negative light in terms of his Android reviews post article because it seemed like he nitpicked to no avail and for no reason for the most part.

And he compares every single Android phone to the iPhone 4s, and not to say the 4s isn't the "standard", to each their own, but please man, can we get one Android video without an iPhone reference/comparison?

I prefer TechnoBuffalo, MobileTechReview, BlackPrince, HoodTechMan, MobileBurn, and PocketNow.

Aaron puts his face in front of the camera far too much, and his video's lack any real substance, he just points to "smoothness" and why Android isn't as "smooth" as WP7 and iOS. Just can't watch an entire video with him in it, his entire presence annoys me for some reason. But like I said, to each their own. A lot of people enjoy PhoneDog so...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QWIKSTRIKE:
You may not like Aaron, but this thread is about his review. He may like apple, but he made a thread on how if Sprints speeds were up to par the EVO 4G LTE would be his daily driver.

For the most part I find him to be fair, and honest. Hell you must not like watching TV....lol Faces are always in front of the Camera. Noah from Techno Buffalo gets in front of the Cam just as much when he was on Phone Dog...To each his own.

Does anyone know how to remove the shutter sound from the camera. Could I just delete the sound file using root explorer? The reason I ask is I use an app called cerberus in case my phone is ever lost or stolen. If the wrong password is entered on my phone it takes a picture. It is kind of obvious though because it makes that stupid noise.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Ahh, so in reality you don't want to be caught taking pictures on the sly ;)

If anyone knows the answer it would be helpful :P. As it is actually rather annoying

They do have a spy camera app that makes no noise. That is not an option in my case though, as the cerberus app is what is taking the pic.

I love Mean ROM. The best.

To remove sound, unpack HTCcamera apk in root/system/app, remove .ogg camera in apk/res/raw, repack and insert back into original folder with the same permissions as before. Owner R/W, Group R, Others R

For ease simplicity, you could just flash MeanROM. Runs great. But if you're like me, I'd rather know the technical since I customize my ROM a lot.
