Navigation. Also as a cheap phone to take it with you on a beach and not worry about someone stealing it.

I plan to keep my desire even if I buy a new phone. Just in case if the new phone needs servicing or maybe if I don't like it and want to exchange...

I will never sell my desire.
[Desire General] Kumabjorn:
That is impressive, then you need to have it connected to Wi-Fi 24/7, don't know that is possible for me.
[Desire General] erklat:
While I concur there is something limited, it certainly is no RAM in this scenario you described.
[Desire General] Kumabjorn:
I'm not selling mine either. I have bought a prepaid SIM card for it so if needed I can use it as a backup phone, as for navigation the Galaxy Note is far ahead due to respond time and large screen size.

One idea I'm tossing around is as a kitchen aid, recipes and cooking videos.
[Desire General] Kumabjorn:
I meant the phone memory whee you need to leave some part of the app even when you move it to the SDcard, I always thought that was part of the phone's RAM.
[Desire General] Rageypeep:
I don't take the phone with me any more, so it stays plunged in to mains at home next to the router :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carlos64030:
I never accept OTA updates since I always root my phones. However, I find it interesting that my phone never alerted me that an OTA update was available for our phones. I've had my phone since the first day of it's release, and my phone has only been rooted for 5 days now. When did the OTA update come out? Like I said, I have no intentions of accepting the update, just curious as to why my phone never alerted me that it was available.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 18th.abn:
Under settings>update you may have "check for scheduled updates" unticked. I always check it after a flash to make sure its unticked

I think I do recall doing that when I first setup my phone. Thanks.

Haven't gotten a ota notice yet. Just to make sure it will say 1.5 right? I'm on 1.13.65 or something.

What do I do about Google wallet if I'm gonna root? Should I uninstall it? Can't clear settings bc it still says device not supported.

What do I do?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Since you can't get in to it just root wipe install rom n what not n the version is 1.22
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tnman7:
Hey guys I need a little help/advice...

I have never rooted before but I am considering rooting this phone via the HTCDev. If I accept the OTA update will it kill my ability to do the "soft root"?

Also if I root it via the method above can I install MeanRom? I am looking for a simple (factory like) rom taht has some tweaks to save battery and fix little minor issues. I am not looking for a mega fast overclock mod. I love the battery indicator on mean rom and the quite shutter etc..

Any suggestions would be appreciated for the noob!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Sure u probably went elsewhere for suggestions since, but u can accept the ota and still unlock thru HTC dev. The new ota hboot prevents the S-OFF exploit via lazypanda is all.

Think I remember hearing that we will pretty much always be able to unlock thru htcdev no matter the ota. S-OFF isn't necessary to flash roms, root, mod, flash kernels or any of that. Just needed for radios and I actually think it isn't needed for splash screens anymore. Not sure if the new hboot restricts access more than the old one or not.

Probably just wasting my breath, but good luck. Hope it goes or went well for u.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mexiking713:
You can't flash kernels or splash screens if you are HTC dev unlocked on the latest ota hboot. You should be able to install Mean Rom without a problem.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
I thought that was the case with the new hboot. Glad I am waiting on soff before I accept the ota. Really want to flash some kernels when they're out.

Hello Freinds,

I am on stock ics updated via kies.I have never rooted my phone.yesterday I recurved a message while charging that voltage is too high so charging has paused.I removed the charger but every second my phone would beep and show that I connected charger.I tried to reset and it said battery empty even when it had sufficient battery.I did a reset from the options and even formatted the usb.in the night I charged my phone completely.Jun the morning it had list 20% so I checked the deep sleep mode and it was in deep sleep mode while night.I noticed that battery monitor states I charged it in morning but I did not.so I assume it was the voltage thing again.now my phone does not show me that message but my voltage is always 4.062V our similar.in short always high then 3.8.once I remove the charger it comes down in a couple if hours.

Experts please help.

Have you checked your micro sd charging slot on your phone for any dirt or anything or any moist got in there or..you could Remove the battery for at least 40 minutes, put the battery back in and allow it to fully discharge, afterwards do a full charge with it turned off; do not interrupt it. And i would of said do a f reset but you already have and b carefull f resetting with this " brick bug" problem going on :(

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00dahc:
When I first got my Evo LTE 3 weeks ago I popped on FoxFi and I could connect devices no problem. However, the data speed was soooo slow that I ended up uninstalling it soon after.

Now with the update to the Evo I thought I'd try again for kicks.

Now, I can't connect any computer/device to my FoxFi connection. They can see the Wifi hotspot but only tries a few seconds to connect and then errors out.

Major bummer.

Any tips/tricks for this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smalldice:
Make sure that when you turn foxfi on your wifi cannot connect to a router. If your wifi connects to a router foxfi will not transmit the right way and you will get error. Just go to the wifi settings and click forget connection on the phone and then try it. I was having the same issue and that fix it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00dahc:
Hey, thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned, I turn off wifi before doing anything with it, so that isn't it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
have you tried a reboot? my friend's sgs3 just had the same problem and a reboot got everything in working order.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smalldice:
When you turn foxfi on it will also turn your wifi on to work properly. Just make sure is not connecting to a wireless router and you should be good to go. Just try it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00dahc:
I keep assuming that purple would assume I tried the basics. :p

I rebooted. No good. I tried uninstalling any recent apps just in case, restarted. No good. I tried it with and without encryption, renamed SSID, reinstalled the app, tried with Foxfire add-INS. No good. We tried the same stuff on my buddies phone too. Button.

I have wifi off while trying all this, no possible way to be connected to a wireless router.

Thanks guys
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smalldice:
Even if you turn it of before starting foxfi foxfi will turn wifi on so it can transmit the data. Go to your wifi setting and click forget on the wireless connection that you currently use to connect thru wifi and then try foxfi. Foxfi will turn on also your wifi will turn on but because you took out the router out of your connections you will not connect thru the the router and fox fi will be working again. Same problem happen to me and it took me 2 days to figure it out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00dahc:
That did the trick! Thanks buddy.

I wonder if anyone has submitted a bug report to FoxFi for this?

Does anyone feel the need to use the FoxFi Add-On package with the FoxFi app?

This is what I accidentally did to get it to work but then I couldn't figure out what I had done later! Thanks, good explanation.

Dont buy me a beer just klick thanks.:cyclops:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kandiyams:
Yes. I had no idea abt FoxFi bcuz I had rooted my fone but I uninstalled the root 2 do the OTA update then couldnt get the root back. So I looked on here in themes & apps & found out abt Foxfi. When I typed it n the FoxFi add on showed up n the playstore & tht gave me the link 2 go 2 the developers website 2 download the app bcuz Sprint & AT&T removed the app out of the playstore, so once I installed the FixFi app I also did the add on. In the menu settings of the FoxFi add on app it lets u hide ur mobile hotspot usage 4rm Sprint so they dont kno ur data usage on the hotspot. It works fine 4 me, I checked it 2 c if it notices it when I chk my data usage & the mobile hotspot data is 0....this is a gr8 app!!:)

does it unlock the phone when putting a Custom ROM ???

and also is the only way to unlock by calling the service provider ???

Nope and nope...

Go to the Google Play Store... Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz

Once unlocked, always unlocked.

yes true..but i was thinking more in terms of general....say S2 , or S3....

All the different modifications we can do to our phones is amazing, but is there a way to change the MHz or whatever it is that wont let me get 3G to run on the phone?

I've unlocked my phone to use it on T-Mobile. I'm starting to be annoyed when I need to check something online without wi-fi and it takes

forever.

AT&T - GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz

UMTS: 850, 1900, 2100 MHz

Data: HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s, UMTS, EDGE

T-Mobile - GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz

UMTS: 850, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz

Data: HSDPA+ (4G) 42.2 Mbit/s, HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Captivate on t mobile will only get the Edge network because of t mobile frequencies.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whipps:
That I understand, but I'm wondering if there is a way to change the frequencies.

We can overclock and under volt our devices, so why not adjust the frequencies as well.

Unless that is a hardware thing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
That is the frequency receiver capability.. It isn't hardware... It is like trying to receive fm stations on an am only radio, is that analogy makes any sense

Edit: i meant to say it is hardware not isn't
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whipps:
Yea. That sucks, but I understand better.

Sometimes I hate the phone companies!! Greedy b*$%^ds
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baconatorXVI:
It's more of a conforming to a hardware standard deal, not so much a greed deal...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Plus, consider this; if all of t-mobile's subscribers were on the same frequency as all of at&t´s, there would need to be a massive increase in the necessary bandwidth to handle the load. That mhz split keeps speeds up and dropped calls down.

Just my thoughts, though.
[Galaxy S III General] ReaperBR:
Hey guys, about 3 weeks ago I bought a Galaxy S3 (after waiting for MONTHS to get one, by the way) at first I was delighted with the performance and looks, but after 3 days I noticed I had a stuck pixel (it was black, on a blue screen) using the *#0*# test

Okay, I got a bit sad and went to the store to get it replaced, and so I did, second one......noticed the same problem some time later

Tried AGAIN, went to the store, this time they let me open as many units as I wanted to , to find a perfect one, I went through SEVEN , ALL OF THEM with stuck pixels in some color (green, red, blue) after more than an hour looking I TOUGHT I found a flawless one.....went home with it to apply a screen protector, while I was doing that I found another stuck pixel, couldnt believe what I was seeing

Went to the store ONE MORE TIME to get ANOTHER replacement, the LAST one.....took it out of the box, and there it was, a black pixel on the green screen, just gave up and got my money back

What the hell is going on with samsung? I just wanted a flawless screen, afte all, its a state of the art device, should be flawless!!!

By the way Im from Brazil and the phones were all unbranded
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Might be the imported batch .

Mine is flawless .

[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Must be the batch, mine is flawless on the LCD test.

Tested a few and no stuck pixels on any colour background. Bad batch for sure.
[Galaxy S III General] Crunozaur:
Perfect screen here too. Honestly, I have yet to buy a device with dead pixels or similiar flaws, lol. Guess I'm lucky.
[Galaxy S III General] foo:
Mine is flawless as well - no dead pixels at all. So you waited months? It was released at 29th of May, so in the worst case you waited about 1,5 months.

To be perfectly honest, I don't believe your story...
[Galaxy S III General] ReaperBR:
When I said "waited for months" I meant: I was going to buy the S2, after finding out the S3 was gonna come out I decided to wait, and in my country it was only released at the day I bought it (about 3 weeks ago) so yes, I waited for about 6 months just dreaming about it

If you dont believe me I have one good solution for you:

The big X on the upper right of your screen, click it and witness the magic

For everyone else I hope it was just a bad batch really, for christ sake I loved the device but I cant stand anything but perfection on a US$1000 handheld (its how much it costs here on Brazil)
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
He probably waited since it's announcement and possibly even before. But that's pointless to calculate, since one might say I've waited for years to get it... Which btw is true since I knew that more or less the 3.generation would be around roughly at the time my S1's 2year contract was over.

I'm very sure you've not found a single Samsung Galaxy i9X00 phone with a stuck pixel and you probably never will. AMOLED screens have no moving parts so the pixels cannot get stuck as with LCD but either die (dead pixel) or react too slow (lazy pixel). Factory-defects such as pixels lighting at the wrong time or shorting with others are of course also possible.

Have you actually tried apps designed for stuck pixel / dead pixel repair? Often enough the pixel can be revived regardless of whether it's an (O)LED or LCD screen.
[Galaxy S III General] ReaperBR:
My dear friend im sorry for using the wrong expression.....im used to LCD screens and I would call it a stuck pixel because it cant reproduce one especific color (for example the pixel which presents itself black on a blue screen)

Yes, I tried the "unstucking" apps, left them running for hours and hours, like 12 hours at least, it didnt make any difference

Guess I'll just have to wait 2 months and try again, lets hope Im luckier this time, since its not looking to be a general problem...
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
That was (very faint) humor, so don't take it too personal :silly:

I think everyone understood what you meant, you just used the wrong term for the technology in question

Hmm, that definitively sounds like a bad batch. However I'm surprised, since Samsung's quality control might let one or 2 units slip but ALL of them having defects? I dunno, but that kinda sounds strange...

Maybe your seller got duped into buying units which Samsung's quality control filtered out. Only a hypothesis but well...

On an interested side note: How hard or easy are the dead pixels to spot? Maybe some of us got them but are unable to notice.

The brain is very good at interpolating missing parts of an image or color. Also how bright was it in the room?

I've recently seen a darker splotch on the screen on the red color but can't find it anymore. (Maybe it was just dirt after all...)
[Galaxy S III General] juliano_q:
Probably a bad batch, I also bought in Brazil and it is perfect.
[Galaxy S III General] ReaperBR:
All of them were very easy to see, at least for me

Bought pre-ordered on phone from verizon - 32gb w/2 gb ram. Unit made in china (blue) - unit flies and screen is flawless
[Galaxy S III General] kane.92:
i had to take my gs3 back to the shop because of a fault with the phone but that was my own fault. but ye the man behind the counter said the gs3 has never had a problem no one has brought one back apart from me to the store so the phones that you went throught must have been fake or something because these are the beat phones out and you dont get any problems with them.
[Galaxy S III General] kms108:
Lets just get one thing straight, a black pixel is considered as a dead pixel, other colours are considered as stuck or bright pixels, it's also normal for a screen to have upto 3-5 pixels problem according to the international standard, so you are luck the shop will allow you get a refund after all the unboxed you did, not that anyone will blame you if you get a dead or stuck pixels in the middle of the screen is quite annoying.

anyway here is my story with problems

1 st unit was a in store inspection, out of the box the power button was stuck.

2nd unit, instore inspection the phone had a few specks of dust in screen.

3rd unit seems fine, and thats the unit I took home until I made and received call, although calls made instore were fine, 99.8% of them, the calls will just cut off between 3 minutes and 7 minutes.

Next day

4th unit had more dust in the screen.

5th unit had a black dead pixel in blue screen.

6th unit with instore inspection seem ok, took this home and then I noticed there was a problem with the wifi.

Phone detects wifi but won't connect, just saves into the memory and sometimes it will connect.

Also my router has 3 ssid set, guest, 5ghz and 2.4ghz, most of the time it will just detect one of the 3 ssid while the other 2 will be detected about 5-7 minutes later.

I also have one of the air drive where i can stream music or video from a portable box, most of the time it won't even connect, but the phone detect the signal, if it connects, it won't stream.

If a wifi signal connects, just moving a meter or two away from the router will disconnect.

In all cases the wifi signal detected is very strong.

Next day

7th unit in store inspection found a dark grey stuck pixel in a dark grey background using pixel testers.

8th unit, the greyish silver side of the phone was made very bad.

Next day did not exchange phones

9th unit one tiny speck of dust right at the top of the right corner of the screen.

10th unit, there were two white spot on the bezel, one next to the ear piece and sensor and the other on the side near the volume, both on top next to the screen.

before I check the 9th and 10th phone I did say I will check 2 more unit and if unlucky I will return it to samsung and have the phone's wifi fixed instead, as I did have a good screen.

Well I took the 9th phone as the 1 speck of dust didn't stand out that much.

upto now the phone is working very well.

there you go, my short story.
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
It's interesting to see that there seem to be quality control issues with devices sold by Hong-Kong retailer and a brazilian retailer.

Both locations are known to have a lot of fake or "fell of the truck" electronic devices, so I stand by my earlier hypothesis that they might not be devices from a batch Samsung ever intended for sale.

(This does not mean the seller knew about it, any part of the delivery chain can be the cause)
