[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NateWhite:
I just picked up the EVO for me and the wife. The radios are fine. You really can't go wrong either way, with the SG3 or the EVO. I had an SG1 before this. I would say you have to try it out at your house. If sprint doesn't fit the bill then you just stuck with Verizon.

There are some other differences between the SG3 and the EVO, I found that the Evo had the things that I really wanted like camera button. I really did think that I would have the SG3 about 2 months ago, just saying really look at them closely if that is the way you go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I, too, am an HTC fan. Love Sense and I don't care for Touchwiz. I'm sure either phone would suit your needs. I would think Sprint would trade out your phone if there was a defect issue. I got mine through Best Buy but have bought from Sprint before and had issues with my 3D after I had it for about 6months and they traded it out for me. Also, just wanted to mention, in case you didn't already know, that any phone call made to any mobile number with Sprint does not come off your minutes. I barely touch my minutes because most of my calls are made mobile to mobile. And the nights and weekends start at 7pm instead of 9pm. You may not need the unlimited calling plan if you don't do a lot of land line calling.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pov1:
Let us know what you decide. I don't know what sprints return policy is. Think you should just go to Best Buy & see what there return policy is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] moses2303:
As far as price, sprint really is great. The network can vary greatly from horrible to average on 3g depending on if your tower has gotten the network Vision upgrade. (there are places online that you can check if it's gotten the upgrade, but I don't know the link)

As someone mentioned, you can get the airwave femtocell to improve service in your home and sometimes you can get that for free.

I too am a fan of Sprints green policies. And I love the screen on the this (evo) compared to gs3. But they are both great phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
I love the sprint pricing/plan practice, but the network is terrible. It's usually been pretty good but lately it has been garbage, I'm hoping it's due to the upgrades and tower converting..

I wouldn't recommend Sprint at this time with someone who has health issues, but you can try them and see. I think they have a decent return policy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iamkoza:
in my area the NV upgrades are causing lots of dropped calls for me and my wife... the 3g speeds have always been abysmal with sprint... the unlimited data sounds great, but do you really need more than the 2gb caps that most other companys have in place? I don't think I've ever used more than 1gb of data in a month.

If I were you, I'd wait a bit before switching to sprint, make sure NV actually does what is promised, before you commit to them for 24 months
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xirin:
Keep in mind that Sprint does free mobile to mobile. My family plan has only 700 minutes, and we usually end up with 500 minutes unused every month. That's free *any* mobile to any mobile. If you get a call from a verizon user, for example, you're still not using your minutes. Lots of minutes is nice, just make sure you don't end up paying more for a plan you don't really need :)

Sprint has very similar coverage to Verizon, since they rent towers from each other. The difference is that Verizon uses different frequency signal, which penetrates some hard objects (like walls) better than Sprint. So yes, your reception indoors is likely to be worse with any Sprint phone.

Sprint can give you a minitower for your house though (they call them Airave). If you tell them you don't have reception in your house, they will give it to you for free. It plugs into your network router and gives you about 100' radius of very good reception.

As far as Galaxy vs Evo, I can't really say, since I don't have a Galaxy. Evo's reception seems to me to be very good, compared to my old Moment, Transform, and Epic. Similar to slightly better than my wife's iPhone4.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] varaonaid:
I'll let you know. Mostly I want to know that Sprint will stand behind either phone if the radios aren't up to par without the restocking fees and a second activation fee... I can't afford $210 of activation, restocking and another reactivation fee for phones that are defective. I'm not talking about just changing my mind and wanting a different phone but needing to trust that one way or another I'll get two phones with no radio issues.

It's not as simple as just staying with VZW, my husband's phone was stolen during one of my medical emergencies... He's currently using an old phone but it's not working very well. So, we either pony up for a new phone (even if it's via Craigslist) or we get a new provider (who hopefully gives a care bc Vzw certainly didn't!), both get new phones and sell our current ones to cover most of the upfront cost of the new phones. We could wait until Network Vision is completed or moreso but will they still be able to offer unlimited data plan at that point. Since we feel that we want to switch, now feels like a good time to do so. Does that make sense?

No we're not out of contract with Verizon but have people lined up to do an AOL (assumption of liability or contract takeover) so we'd be out of it with no fees. However, we won't complete the AOL until we're sure that Sprint will work for us now.

Does anyone know if the everything data plus (we'd be looking at the 1600min family plan) has free activation? I'd have to order online and it would be via employee referral? Also, do you get any numbers you can pick that are unlimited to those numbers? Verizon had friends and family where you got to pick a handful of numbers that you call the most that don't count against our minutes. My only concern is my in laws as they have a VERY limited cell plan and use their land line almost exclusively. If we could add that one number that would help a ton. I'd read somewhere online that Sprint had something similar but now, of course, can't find it again.

I appreciate all of your help and advice so very much. I hope this explains more why we're considering the switch and why we need good phone reception... At least as good as is currently possible on their network.

BTW, when we informed Vzw about the phone theft we were tracking the phone on Google latitude and the refused to help or advise us as to what to do in any way. Super disappointed with their lack of help. If the customer service had been better, we might have gotten our phone back. I've heard good things about Sprint's customer service.

Any other thoughts or suggestions or advice... Please share! And many thanks to all of you who have shared!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] long_tall_texan:
I'll add my 2 cents. I have bought phones from Sprint local stores, employee referral that you mentioned (I have the 1600 employee referral plan). I have had similar service from all places. And yes, Sprint does have an add-on for call any number for free. It is called pick 3. After you sign up for service, call customer service, and tell them you came from Verizon which had that feature and you really miss it. Ask them about pick 3 and they should be able to give it to you for free. 3 numbers that don't use your anytime minutes. Can be different numbers for each line.

Whats good XDA community?

I dont know exactly what happened (I bugged this little dude out awhile ago I've just been too lazy to fix it) but now that I want to flash my kindle fire back to the original... I cant seem to. It seems I've wiped the ICS rom I had running on it and now when I hit the power button(and dont boot into TWRP 2.0) it just loads a blank black screen. Also, I cant seem to mount my kindle via the TWRP mount option, do I need the android debug bridge for this? I changed computers recently so I dont have any of the tools that I had when flashing this the first go around(for the record I'm on a mac).

Thanks for your help, my first post so please be kind :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
I guess you didn't make a nandroid backup? You don't need adb to mount the SD partition though, If you can i would try a different computer because when you mount SD through TWRP you should have no problem accessing the SD on your computer and dropping a ROM or in this case the update.zip from here

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620

since you are already wiped, all you will need to do is rename this .bin file to update.zip and install like a normal ROM. you will then be left with an unrooted, stock version of the kindle fire (without TWRP or FFF also)

my problem is

i can't update my phone into ICS 4.0

is anything wrong with my phone??

anyone can help me?

sorry for bad english
[General Questions and Answers] pronkjuweel:
Do you mean you can't flash a custom rom, or the official update doesn't work. Because if sony isn't going to update your phone, you can't update it via the official way. Then you have to search a custom rom who has android 4.0.

[HTC EVO 3D] Philolagnos:
Turned my Sprint CDMA EVO 3D (S-OFF, rooted, MeanROM ICS 1.4) on today and the screen flickerd and went out, it still rings when I call it and I think touch is OK since I was able to hang up on myself by tapping in the right place. I have Sprint total protection, but I want to flash back to stock, unroot, and S-ON so they don't get any funny ideas. Can I do this through USB and ADB? USB debugging is on.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
If the screen is dead, there is no way sprint could tell it's rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
Well if the screen is out, they'd have to fix it before finding out your rooted and unlocked! I'd say just send it in, as is. But I do think the unroot method is done only on the computer if you're really worried about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] kickyoace:
If ur that worried about it bat pull put an ruu on ur sdcard flash that then fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and ur done
[HTC EVO 3D] Arceo85:
Asurion

Somthing similar happend to me i was not able to unroot my phone because my phone did not connect to the computer. My screen was often getiing stuck on the lower part of the phone and home botton did not work. Turned of my phone and called asurion paid my deductable and they send me a refurbished phone. I belive they will charge younfor the repair if the phone is rooted, even tho they will fix it ferst if u call them they will tell you that on the term and conditions.
[HTC EVO 3D] Philolagnos:
Thanks for the advice everyone!

Arceo85 did you have Sprint Total Protection and they still made you pay?

I've read the horror stories about local stores flipping out when they hear you rooted your device. One guy on here last summer mentioned it in the store, they never saw it they just blacklisted it by marking his device as stolen. He kept calling the CEO about it, got a hold of internal memos saying not to **** with rooted users, etc. not sure how that ended. Regardless I'd rather have everything in shipped condition when I bring it in tomorrow.

I've been using Android Screencast to view my phone through my PC, thankfully the touchscreen is still working as ICS currently has no mouse/keyboard support in the app.

https://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/

got on there and made a full titanium backup, used 4ext's software to reboot into an automated nandroid backup since the recovery screen is garbled through Screencast.

Then it got ugly.

I used an app to reboot into bootloader, waited and pressed power once to get into fastboot, I set the flag through the command line and rebooted. Device never showed up on ADB again. I still haven't flashed the RUU (the default USB debugging in the RUU is off and I figured cutting my lifeline would be the last step). I battery pulled, waited 2 min and turned it on, no adb, waited for it to boot like 10 min and called it- went straight to voicemail. It's apparently bricked.

I'm going to try this unbrick now: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1627917

At least I have the backups.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
My volume-up button went bad about 3 months ago, I walked into the Sprint store (The Parks Mall in Arlington TX) and asked them if they could repair the button. The rep took my phone and immediately did a reboot and the MeanROM bootscreen appeared, lol. He asked what rom I was running and I told him and he said "cool!" and walked away and came back a few minutes later with another EVO 3D (refurb), handed it to me and said "Have a great day!" :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] Philolagnos:
Took it in yesterday, they exchanged it no questions asked. Just finished downgrading and restoring my nandroid. Thanks everyone!
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
You shouldn't restore nandroids from other phones. Especially with wimax, you can easily overwrite your wimax keys.

[General Questions and Answers] uleavittbe:
So i recently rooted my HTC EVO 4G with AlterROM Redux (Codename: CHIMERA) and unfortunatly, i cant remember the settings i used to install the rom. My problem lies with the audio output from the 3.5mm headphone jack. ive found that the audio is mono and outputs on the right channel only. ive tested it with three different stereo systems and both my earbuds and stereo handsfree set. i had stereo audio before the root/ROM and now i dont.

i use my phone for testing home and commercial audio systems and I NEED this feature to work. is there anything i can change on the phone setting wise or maybe an update that addresses this issue? the rest of the rom seems great. i like the user interface and the program options that i installed but this may be a deal breaker for me if i cant get it fixed.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
I'll be honest if you use your device for work and need everything to work then I would not run custom roms that can have such problems. I would read threw the rooms thread for anyone else having the issue and post in your devices forum.

Do factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache. Flash rom. Reboot into bootloader. Fastboot flash boot boot.img. reboot phone. Then reboot back into recovery to flash gapps. Should work "
[HTC One S] fipsib:
so did you already flash the (right) boot.img via fastboot?
[HTC One S] brwetz:
If you haven't, extract the boot.img file from the .zip and place it where you have adb/fastboot (Android SDK). Then boot into bootloader, go into Fastboot, plug phone in for "Fastboot USB" then type the following in command prompt and reboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

ive tried all that boot.img from zip even another one with the download no luck just stuck on boot with that cm9 rom on loop thanks for your help though guys any other suggestions other then just shooting myself in the head??lol

Try flashing the latest alpha 14. Maybe you got a bad download of alpha 13.

did you solve your problem?

if not & you're not quite shure about flashing the boot.img properly with fastboot I set up a Tutorial yesterday:

Can this downgrade the Hboot to 0.90.0000? If so, should be able to s-off...
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Just open the tool and it will take you to filefactory to download the files

It depends on your carrier, for my tmobile us wfs it can downgrade only to 1.03.0001. I think for the Europe versions that it can downgrade to 0.90.0000

your welcome

I'm not sure about the S-OFF though. Some carriers are compatible with 0.90.0000

[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
You can be on any ROM but I forgot to mention that you have to have a locked bootloader or S-OFF

Locked bootloader or S-off?

That mean I can use this to downgrade this phone
