[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
I posted this in another thread but....

OK this is weird. So I bought an EVO 3D at launch for $199. I expect to get a new phone in 2013.

I get a call from Best Buy on saying I'm eligible for a new phone. I'm like right.. that's next year.. didn't think about it.

Go online to pay my bill.. I see a ! next to my number and it says You qualify for a great price . I click on the link and it takes me to the phones with the 2 year discount pricing.. I click on any of the links and I see a 2 year agreement upgrade discount.

I click on my contract details on my account screen and I see that my contract is up on 6/23/13

So, even though my contract is up next year, I qualify for the 2 year discount price right now.. .

I am confused...
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopdog:
Don't do it. Let your contract run out.. also isn't sprint behind everyone else in terms of LTE network?
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
Well the Galaxy S3 does intrigue me.. I'm about done doing the yearly upgrades with phones .I just want a LTE one that will be easy to root and be done with it for a few years. I find myself using my tablet more these days anyways.

Guess we'll see what comes out in the next few months. I'm not going for the EVO 4G LTE that's for sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Are you living under a rock ? It's already out
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopdog:
Apparently you are.. official sprint update isn't out
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
I meant the EVO 4G LTE
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Um... The 4g LTE is out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
.....that's what I meant in my first comment , durp.
[HTC EVO 3D] krayziejoe:
I keep saying July, and its looking more and more likely.
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
I honestly did like my 3d. Not as much as this but it was a decent device. I have an argument though in another thread if there EVER was any concrete source from Sprint anywhere online that the 3d would in fact see ics? And I'm not talking about the video where they said June timeframe where I could say that's me and nobody would actually know the difference lol!
[HTC EVO 3D] jj14:
Are you referring to the engadget interview where a Sprint exec indicated that the EVO 3D was scheduled to get ICS in June 2012?

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/09/the-engadget-interview-sprint-product-execs-john-tudhope-and-da minute marker 8:20 or so

I'm guessing (nothing to back it up - sorry - just hopeful) that we might get ICS this weekend.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Were you a Premier Gold customer with Sprint (over 10 years)? If so, that might be why you are eligible for an early upgrade (not valid going forward of course since they took away that benefit)
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
All I can say is thank gawd for the EVO 3d gsm. Only way I know possible to grab unlimited everything +5GB of data for $30 no tax.

T mobile USA FTW, even worked at sprint and kept my hd2. :p

We'll all get official ICS, just us gsm guys will get it first. Carriers branding takes time.
[HTC EVO 3D] jj14:
T-mo gets you unlimited everything + 5GB data for $30? Is that an old grandfathered plan? Or is it available now?

(5GB of data - 4G? 3G? Edge?)

I thought SERO on Sprint was the best available, but that is not unlimited talk, and it adds taxes.
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
Switched off my grandfathered plan at 65 a month, to go prepaid and hack google voice over SIP calling for 30 total. No contract, up to 7mbps download in los Angeles, yes 4g.

You could always not do the hacked calling, for 60 a month no tax with unlimited everything and 5gb of 4g(where available)...
[HTC EVO 3D] jj14:
I'm seriously thinking about moving to a GSM carrier just to be able to get to use the Nexus device (not the pseudo Nexus that is on CDMA) - and for global use - but so far, Sprint (SERO) seems to be the cheaper option (with decent coverage - at least for my use). If T-mo were cheaper, maybe... :)

Anyway, thanks for the update. (didn't mean to derail the thread)
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
Yes, but I thought that was used up with the Evo 3D. I don't know if others that bought the 3D on contract who were gold are in the same boat as I.
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Of u watch they close enough that guy really looked pressured by that question and just had to throw something out there. Besides do have any proof that was even a real Sprint exec? I think we need just as bit more than a video man. Where is Sprint on this?
[HTC EVO 3D] jj14:
It is on engadget, and the interview was done by engadget, so personally, I think it is safe to believe - but if you don't trust it, sure.

Regardless of what that guy said, the update will be pushed when they decide it needs to be pushed. No sooner, no later.

Hopefully, it comes this weekend! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Jimlarck:
Wait wait wait?.. The EVO 3D isn't getting ICS? OFFICIALLY?! So they'll let us renew our contract as a Feel-Good-Treat?

Dude.. Don't you think that'll be a little more expensive then just finishing the dang ics?

But what am I worrying about. We have the Leak, If I get to renew my contract I'll just get Either the GS3 or the EVO LTE and keep my Evo 3D. Never really liked Sense 3.6, seems like Sense 4.0 took a dump and thats how we got Sense 3.6 .

Still don't believe it. Link to source please?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Let the thread die out. This guy seriously doesn't understand what happens when HE makes huge nonsense. and if it is true? Yeah IF*!! , he hasn't posted a single link leading to the OFFICIAL statement of a Sprint Executive OR AT LEAST A REP!

Don't make up BS if you're not willing to back it up.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwjames1985:
sprint gonna cancel ics update??? hmmm i doubt it... would be nice if they would give us an early end on our contract... i doubt it
[HTC EVO 3D] w8setter:
+1.........:)
[HTC EVO 3D] charlie hustle:
Why does it matter? Within this site is an Ics rom of your choice. Early upgrade would be great, if not so what.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jimlarck:
Why does it matter? It doesn't, your right. But its still annoying when someone out of nowhere starts spreading rumors, that don't make sense. Then next thing you know. You'll end up looking like an idiot when they actually DO release ics .

If you do believe this nonsense. Go talk on the phone with a sprint rep. I am pretty sure they'll say that its complete nonsense.

Another thing that pisses me off is that Sprint is blaming HTC appearantly because HTC is taking time to make the update. When in truth, HTC has done their part and all that's left is for the carriers to bloat the update. And block the cool features
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
Because everyone doesn't root.
[HTC EVO 3D] NexuGsx:
Exactly. I'm also stuck with VM at the moment, which could potentially be fixed by a Sprint RUU.

[HTC EVO 3D] SPreston2001:
Well I realize most people in general don't root, I'm just shocked that many members of xda do not root...

[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
I found myself wasting so much time flashing my Epic 4G, I tried resisting the urge to root my evo 3d. At first, I justified rooting because I wanted Wifi Tether, but was able to talk myself into staying on stock rom. I recently decided I wanted ICS(because the wait was killing me), so I went with MeanRom ICS. Couldn't be happier...may even keep my phone beyond my upgrade period.
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
If they do release an official ICS (and I believe that they will), then they will eventually release source for it. That means we will have custom kernels and hopefully less bugs in ICS.

I'm running MeanROM ICS right now and love it - but there are a couple of things that I think will be fixed once our devs can get that official source.

Someone may have pointed this out already but I didn't go through the 14~ pages to find out. I was kinda shocked that a thread started about an unsubstantiated rumor had this many posts, to be honest.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jimlarck:
Like I said, somebody fed the troll
[HTC EVO 3D] woody296:
I think it may be unwise to trust anything any carrier would say, most of the time you get different answers from each person you talk to. Now that the early upgrade program requires you to turn in your old phone it seems even more likely we won't get ics anytime soon. More refurb phones to use as replacements for boost and virgin mobile. Sprint is even more clever than i thought!;)
[HTC EVO 3D] lucidvtec:
Lmao. ....sry to troll

Im not surprised .. thats why i dropped sprints .. empty promises all the time
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
It never ceases to amaze me how often the term troll is overused. Perhaps those of you using it have been spending a little time with Charlie Sheen?
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Sprint obviously has ICS ready look at the virgin mobile
[HTC EVO 3D] woody296:
The easiest way to avoid all this nonsense is just to root, as others have said. I waited almost a year and it was so easy i couldn't believe it. I was worried about the bricking method, i have about a zero skill level, and using the toolkit and doing a little reading made it a breeze. I encourage those on the fence to give it a shot. At least it's an effort in a positive direction.
[HTC EVO 3D] negativzeroe:
F it. ICS roms don't even flash on my phone and GB runs fine.

ICS

ICS is far more stable than any GB rom ive ran, take the 3 minutes and do the wire trick for s-off 1.50 or the 10 min for the 1.4 downgrade method. they are both very simple and well worth it!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jimlarck:
Don't be lazy, do the s-off

Do not feed the trolls. You troll! Troll! Troll! And finally troll!
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
I would love you to live my life for a day, then you might understand why I don't have the time to root. I don't have a problem with people who do it, but it's not for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
All carriers make empty promises because there is so much crap behind the scenes to keep up with because of people on old plans, people coming in to new plans and things changing more often then a woman does trying to figure out what dress to wear, reps will say stuff that doesn't necessarily ring true any more. Don't get me started with the two huge fiascoes I had with AT&T, which were beyond ridiculous.

Sprint (this being my second tour with them) gives me the less crap out of all the carriers I've had to deal with.

Trust no one. Search the answers for yourself, not from the uninformed. I can't believe this thread is still going. Complaining about no ICS here will do nothing to motivate Sprint.

True, I ran ViperROM and CleanROM Reborn as my last GB ROM's, and they were stable, however, I've had less system glitches and crashes on ICS. I average 1 every two weeks. I do a simple battery pull and restart and I'm good.

Not everyone is technically inclined. We have to accept that. This is not an insult, it's just how people's brains work.

HOWEVER, rooting is the way to go. The benefits out weigh the cons, the two largest being full system backups and being able to strip ALL crapware from a ROM that you don't want.

So, if you don't "have time" or don't know how, find someone to root the dern thing for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jimlarck:
With the new 1.50 hboot s-off it just takes 5 minutes. If you don't have time to spend 5 minutes then how did you have time to unlock?

Pants are for squares!
[HTC EVO 3D] acevo3d:
I rooted using the HTC method and still S-ON. Just do the same and use 4EXT Recovery. It is almost as seamless as S-OFF. If you don't want to use 4EXT, just use TWRP recovery + Flash Image GUI + HTC Dumlock and you're good to go.

And on the subject of this thread, I'm fine with GB and Sense 3.0 for now. I've flashed many ICS Roms and always went back to a GB Rom. Why? Generally ICS doesn't have one or all of the following things:

1. Wifi Tether

2. Beats and/or Chad's Anthrax Kernel

3. Wimax/Camera etc...

There is always something missing. I'll give the devs some time to develop the ICS roms much further. And yes, the difference is significant when using Beats with an Anthrax kernel. Its not the same as Beats with a htc or modified htc stock kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] evomike77:
You need to try zr3dx ics it has everything there very solid Rom
[HTC EVO 3D] TheDaltanian:
It took me about 2 days to root my phone. A day to do all the research and one whole day prepping, researching some more, downloading all the files, about 2 hours trying to figure out how to brick my phone (I wasn't reading the instructions on exactly when to pull the battery out, so it kept turning off right when I pulled it :facepalm: ) and then the rest of the night installing roms and messing around with my first rooted device.

So, in a nutshell, yes you are right, it does take some time.
[HTC EVO 3D] sdialect31:
MeanROM ICS has been wonderfully stable and functional for me as well as ZR3DX. Everything appears to work just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
Booster Shot, port from a Boost Mobile phone.

My response:

1) My Wifi Tether works

2) My Beats works/No custom kernels available yet, however, moves smooth without them.

3) I have Wimax and fully function camera, including 3D.

So........I don't understand what's missing.

You may be referencing the few Sense 4.0 ICS ROM's that are available at the moment.

However, Booster Shot Port and any other ICS Sense 3.6 ROM's are fully functional.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jimlarck:
You have to understand that some people consider a Sense 4 the only ICS Rom out there and because they have used a Sense 4 they believe Sense 3.6 is the same -.-

Yeah but there is also a new method to gain Hboot 1.50 s-off xD it literally took my friend 5 minutes.

Then once the downloads are done, dedicate at the most 20 minutes of your time. And you got s-off

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarandinga2:
Hello, excuse my english.

I have a tablet (Titan 7005A) with RK2918. The original ROM for this device works well but It cannot be routed (S-ON problem). I have another ROM but it's for a newer version of this Tablet that can be routed.

The problem is that with this ROM WIFI and CAM doesn´t work. So, the big question is: can I install/copy WIFI and CAM drivers on this new ROM taking it from my original ROM?. There are a guide to do something like this?.

The WIFI, when I try to turn it on, i get error. Same whit CAM.

Thanks in advance.

Long time Lurker. First time poster.

I've had the n7000 for a few months now, and my home button feels different to press. It feels like there may be something underneath the button.

It works fine, I just noticed it the other day comparing it to my girlfriends n7000.

When I had an iPhone 3G a few years ago the home button went wonky too. Maybe I'm just bad luck.

Got a message on my screen saying PHONE IS USING MORE CURRENT THEN BATTERY CAN KEEP UP WITH. Does anyone know what is happening. I'm on the first leaked update.
[HTC Rezound] marblesmike:
Is this while you're charging it via USB? I got this message when trying to charge it on my pc and I was doing too much stuff on the phone to allow it to charge.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Exactly what the message says: The Rezound can easily pull 500-800mA during sustained usage.

Download a battery monitor app from the market that tells your mA and charging method; I use Battery Monitor Widget.

My issue was my 1 amp AC charger was reading as USB plugged (which is only 500 mA rate). Diagnose that first.

Yes it was while charging and it then drained the battery within 10 minute's, oh and last night it died and wouldn't charge.

* SGSII (i-9100)

Updated my phone to latest Resurrection Remix (v 2.1), and everything was fine for a whole day. Today, when I tried to reboot my phone into recovery mode from Rom Manager, everything just went black.

I can't get into recovery mode, but I can however get into Download mode. So what i tried to do, was to download the latest Siyah kernel as a TAR-file, open up odin and I chose the PDA and pressed start. Odin responds with FAIL, so I'm stuck atm.

Please help! :)
[General Questions and Answers] RealSpZ:
Fixed it by following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458

I also needed to change the USB-port in use for Odin to work propably.
[General Questions and Answers] muralikrishna72003:
Hi ROM Manager is not suppported in RR Rom. always when you want to go to recovery press power button in RR Rom.

Option 1:

what you can do is Remove the battery and while keeping it again Presee Volume UP + Power + Home button which can take you into recovery mode.

Option 2:

down load latest RR version Tar file and flash it using ODIN. this may work instead of flashing siyah kerenl.
[General Questions and Answers] RealSpZ:
Great, thank you! I thought I had read something about this, but it had worked great before! :)

So anyways, I found out that I can choose reboot in the power menu with options like reboot into recovery or download mode. :D

Hi,

Anyone has idea about the specs for this phone ?

Unofficial websites show 140mb internal memory. This should be too low for possible ICS upgrade, IMO. In that respect Karbonn A9 has better specs.

Also, with Spice annoucing the launch of MI-500 (ICS, 5" screen), there would be healthy competition in low end Android handsets in India.

Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] charismakid:
nice thread . if i , by any chance , get the stock rom of the spice ics phone then i shall try and port the rom for you

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rusty4ever:
if mi425's memory is 140mb, KA9 looks better!!!

I would love to see the mi425 ROM though. I like spice in terms of dual sm management.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
I have provided links above which show the specs

140 MB is user available memory, its NOT for the OS.

The OS is installed in ROM, this ROM might be somewhere from 1 GB to 500 MB and it is a reserved space for OS, so dont worry about ICS, the handset has enough power to run it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] apdgt27:
eceike cooed

Thanks Prasad.

Would 140 MB User Available Memory be enough for apps. I understand that apps can be moved to SDC. However, some say that not all apps are movable e.g. G-Maps etc.

I am an Android newbie.
