Damm $600 :eek: I thought the $450 I paid was crazy. The Rep actually told me there was no way it could be cancelled. Mainly because it was a Business account, with multiple lines. Tried saying I had a four year contract with them. Had my lawyer call Hellrizon. Somehow they were able to do it after that :rolleyes:

$300 charge for going over my minutes

$300 to tell Verizon to **** off and cancel my contract.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
12 lines on a business account :) . No way were they going to let that go without a fight. Maybe they should've been a little more considerate when I called them with issues on my Bill :rolleyes: repeatedly ( read monthly ) .

I miss the Motorola and Nokia brick phones
[EVO Shift 4G General] jsp254:
Lol. Yeah.... me too. Haha.

As far as Sprint vs. Verizon and $.... big red would cost me $100+ more each month. Sprint has been kind to me with the unlimited data and any mobile to mobile.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I hear that. It would cost me at least double what I pay now.

Well, this settles it- Moto's going to let us unlock it! I hate my Shift with a passion, so I'll be in my Sprint store on Sunday!

... bye-bye Shift- it was ... a phone, I guess.

Cool! Be sure to let us know how you like it. :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] fallnSaint:
Ouch... I remember the last "phone, I guess" I had, didn't do half what I expect outta my Shift.

I am lookin forward to an upgrade w more ram & processing power. Plus I like Motorola, dropped my last flip phone in the snow getting out of the car one night & the wife ran it over coming & going the next day, dried it out & still worked fine. I'm even excited about the recent union w Google, lookin forward to see what they release in the next few years.

Long story short, this Lil shift will always hold a special place in my sub cockle region. Blew away all my expectations. Doubt I will be able to OC another one almost 3 x's the original spec.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Always ;)

Cheers and Enjoy :)

The Photon, I assume? Well, 30 seconds after getting it home I immediately unlocked it. What was nice about that was it wasn't some arcane Windows-only procedure, either- just copy-and-paste some "fastboot" output, then "fastboot oem unlock" with the code they send you back.

What I'll do soon is build a small custom update.zip (or recovery) that extracts the boot.img, reverse that to turn "android.secure=0", then fastboot that back, and we'll have root. It's been a busy couple of days, but I should have it soon.

But having worked with ICS (and further) quite a bit lately (I'm part of a group that's got a Tablet ROM, and I engineer Android handsets for a living) it does everything I need it to do- namely, not run out of space, be fast, and no lagging. I've re-installed at least 100 Apps on it and it's still quite fast and while I can't comment on battery life yet (first day playing with it, ya know :)) I'm sure it'll be better than my Shift, in any case.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Yes, and I guess that might have been nice, the Shift's big limitations were its small RAM and Flash, the latter which was quite slow and caused a lot of lag. I was always having to **** around with TiBu every time I took an update 'cause it was always filling up /userdata (and so synching would stop).

Rebooting when using Navigation was also a big peeve, and it wasn't largely overlocked, either (10XX, IIRC).

I'll hang onto the Shift as a backup Sprint handset in case of loss or theft, but if someone in SoCal has any other recent Android headset with a clean ESN, I'll swap them my Shift for it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Can you post a review of it?
[EVO Shift 4G General] kcrudup:
Not trying to be difficult, but is there something specific you'd like to know about? I only ask 'cause I might not be the best reviewer- since I own a Tablet (and build Android handsets for a living) all I really need in a handset is to be fast, have a keyboard (for all the E-mails I have to push out), have lots of storage, not lag, not have to replace the Launcher with GoEX, not half-connect calls then have the other end hear me while there's no notification at all on the screen so I don't know I'm in a call, and not spontaneously reboot when using it as a Nav (almost all of which the Shift sucked at- even when rooted and (slightly) overclocked- as that won't help overcome Flash that's too small and too-little RAM).

I do use it daily, and do find myself using it more for browsing and finding "stuff" and Yelping/GV Texting/E-mail/... than I did wih the Shift because it's far more instantaneous to do so.

There's a couple of little gripes though: Apparently I can't use AudioManager (or anything else) to silence ONLY the ringer w/o silencing Notifications and System sounds, and the "Reject/Reject-With-Text/Answer" dialog circle on an Incoming call takes some getting used to (I sent my first couple of calls to VM that way).

But it's essentially the way it is on the "Standard" review sites. I don't care too much about the lack of a removable battery, but I have to admit the completely non-removable SIM (I was willing to take it apart to get to it, and have already popped the back cover) is a bit of a letdown- no way I'm paying Sprint's ridiculous roaming prices when I have GSM handsets collecting dust at home I can bring with me.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Thanks. That's all I needed to know.

Feel free to port CM10 and I'll let others correct you on any errors in your review. :good:

hey guys im new on the s3 i came from the g-note i was wondering if the s3 is able to oc-uv at this point....also i am a huge benchmark person what does the s3 score? i do know on my note oc'd i hit 7600 on antutu and 64 on quadrant if there is anyone here that may be able to point me to the thread or link how i can root my new phone that would be great!! i know or think i know its odin but not sure which version... also i used super user 3.07 on the note with cwm 5.8.8.4 i think.... are those two the same ones i use for this phone thx again for the help

EDIT...i meant to add that i pre ordered it lol just to clear that up lol

Benchmarks don't mean shhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] neubauej:
Check out the stickies in the development forum for rooting/flashing etc.

For oc/UV check out the original dev forum.

As for benchmarks... Yeah.

The random number generator known as quadrant will spit out anything from 5,000's to 9,000's for me.

The random number generator known as antutu spits out anything from 4,000's to 8,000's.

Have fun!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jblazin52:
Yeah, I'm new to these boards too. I've been looking around and it seems some of these developers require a reach-a-round in order to post in their thread based on responses I've seen by them. Great start from a noob poster, I know.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrapo:
Hi, I'm pretty new to android so I did something that I shouldn't.

I wanted to upgrade SD card.

Naively, I connected my HTC desire to PC a I copied all the data from phone directly to the new SD card.

I inserted the new SD card and all the problems started

when I turn on the phone I have an error "open sense plugin manager (process com.htc.opensense.pluginmanager) has stopped working

I cannot call

I cannot delete SMS

Many applications have various problems

The errors are same when there is the old, new, no SD card. Yes, know I know that it was stupid idea to copy the data from a phone that is running. Is there a way to fix it without hard reset? Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrapo:
I just did hard reset. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joykiller:
Hello all I have a problem. no matter who I call Im told my voice sounds muffled. This is a stock phone. nothing changed. I did a hard reset but still have problem. Any suggestion?

Take off your case
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joykiller:
I don' t have a cover.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bloodhawk:
Yeap, same thing here...

Arent other people facing this issue?

Even a lot of online reviews mentioned this. But i never thought the mic quality is going to be this troublesome.

I tried calling myself on an Atrix/Galaxy S/Galaxy note

I myself find the microphone quality quite cheap. It picks up the slightest of nicks and bumps but its definitely too muddy for the other persons comfort!!

The call volumes were very low on my G2 and Sensation in the past. They fixed that but messed up the microphone quality!

Seriously disappointing. Not buying a HTC device ever again!

btw. Not using a case or anything.

Hey folks I got a few questions. I have a rooted droid X2 thats got a few issues. Here is what happened, I got this app called Advanced Tools that I really liked cuz I could change my phone considerable. Well I went about to change my heap size from the default 48M to 64M an then my phone tells me I have to reboot for the changes to take effect so I told it to an then it waited a while then it said it wasn't responding so I hit wait an waited a while an it still didn't do nothing so I manually rebooted it. an once it rebooted it was totally changed an the writing was terribly small an every thing an it kept saying that com.motorola.process.system has stopped unexpectedly so I factory reset it an now I can't do anything with it an it won't let me reprogram it an I can't get further then trying to select the language so please help if you can.

I know, what you mean. I have same configuration on my phone, and it took some time, before I was satisfied with performance.

My baseband is 1035.21.20120521 and my RIL is 0614/622 (V10c,Europe).

After installing RIL, I rebooted phone and VOILA.

GetRIL declares it a "no match", but I have perfect reception and signalstrength!!!

Hope this can help.

Hi all,

I recently found a post on androidauthority about a DARPA tool that looks for known open vulnerabilties on your android device.

The good part for us is many rooting processes are based on these :)

If you are new to the game or just not sure which method is the easiest for you too root your device you can start with this one. If it finds an exploit on your system just search for the tool that help you rooting your device through that hole and you're done :)

unfortunately these vulnerabilities get fixed soon, so if it doesn't find your security hole you will need to flash something that has one :)

Enjoy.

I have a question I if your in call and try to adjust the volume to the lowest setting it will not. but if you reach up and try the on screen control it works fine. is this just a feature? I have confirmed it on cm10 and BB 6/9. The volume rocker works fine for media ringer and all other features.
[Member-Found Deals] cajunflavoredbob:
Before you buy it, please read my review of it in the second post.

Asphalt 7: Heat was just released in the Google Play Store at the low price of 99¢. Compare this price to most other Gameloft games, which are around $7 each. This is a great price for a brand new game.

Google Play link

The file size for this game is 1.36GB. Please make sure you have the space for it before buying!

Thanks for the heads up from Product Fred.

EDIT: I downloaded it to my SGS2 and had issues getting any car to steer properly. Might just be me, though. It does not work on my Acer A500 running JellyBean (CM10). It will work right up to the pre-race fmv, then it crashes when the announcer begins to count down. I'm hoping it's just initial launch bugs that will be sorted out soon. Just as a side note, Asphalt 6 runs perfectly fine on both of these devices.
[Member-Found Deals] cajunflavoredbob:
Ok, I got the game to play properly on a review device I've got on my desk and figured out why it's so cheap: in game purchases.

You play through the game, unlock a car, but then you still have to buy it. Yea, you only unlock the ability to buy the car with in game money. If you don't have enough money to buy the new car, don't worry, because they'll sell you in-game money.

The other thing I don't like is that you get spammed to share your progress on every social network on the planet after EVERY SINGLE RACE. Yea..... I'm no fan of Facebook, and sporadically use G+ and Twitter, so why not give the option to turn off the ads?

The other thing is that you can't play it offline. The game FC's if you try to load it up without a data connection of some sort. Load it up, then turn off WiFi, you might say. Nope. As soon as you do that, it FC's again. No offline mode at all.

The device optimization seems to be very bad right now in this version. I've requested a refund of the game. It's not worth it. Sorry for even posting this. Let it be a warning instead of a deal.
[Member-Found Deals] cajunflavoredbob:
Since the game will probably not download and install in enough time for anyone to request a refund the old fashioned way, with Google's crappy 15 minute window, here's how to do it the hard way.

In order to request a refund, go to your Google Play account summary page, then click on the Report a Problem link next to Asphalt. In the drop down box, select request a refund.

Enter your description of the reason you feel you are entitled to a refund. The download and installation of the game taking longer than the 15 minute return window should be more than enough to get it back. Here's my message below:

The game download is so big, that just downloading it takes more than the 15 minute refund window. After waiting for it to download, I installed it on two different devices. Both newer devices with reasonable specs: a Samsung Galaxy S 2 and an Acer A500. Neither device was able to run the game properly. The game was extremely laggy, looked nothing like the description, even factoring in for my devices not being top of the line. The SGS2 can't even seem to steer the car at all. The game force closes every time the data/WiFi connection drops as well. I also don't like that it spams me to publish my race results after EVERY single race.

Ultimately, I would have requested a refund if it would have been possible to download, install, and play it in the 15 minute return window. The game isn't playable as described. Google should really rethink this short 15 minute return policy. 60 minutes would be MUCH more agreeable for most people.​

[Member-Found Deals] KOCTA:
My Asphalt 6 I bought time ago doesn't start without licence check via Internet. So it's hard to play in underground or train, and these are the only places where I have a time to play.

I hoped Asphalt 7 will be better... so naive :)
[Member-Found Deals] Product F(RED):
It does work without a license check, but after a while it will re-check using a data connection (6, not 7).
[Member-Found Deals] Souai:
uhh, yes you can buy cars with in game currency. you need to earn enough stars to unlock them before you can purchase them with in game currency. the renting option is for those who want to 'rent' a higher spec'd car to win races more easily. its not necessary since ive been able to win every race without renting a single car.

not sure what you mean by bombarded with in app purchases. the in app purchases are tucked off to the side for when you want to buy more money or stars. theyre not really intrusive at all. you dont need the in app purchases to unlock all cars or to even get to the last race, it just has a standard unlocking system like almost every other racing game out there (android, iOS, pc, or even ps3/xbox360). and the in game currency comes pretty easily without having to spend any actual money. i just played for 2 hours and i've already got over 1 million in game currency. the only thing the IAP does is give you a headstart. nothing more than that since the races are locked to specific tier cars, so spending actual cash to buy a mclaren f1 doesnt mean you'll win every race since the mclaren is only allowed in races of that tier.

the sharing option has a loophole, on mine, i set it so it doesnt actually post on my facebook. so i can hit share and reap the benefits without a massive spam of posts on my wall.

you dont need to go through ten menus to start a race, and i havent even noticed any loading screens in between menus.

the only things youve stated that i agree with are that the game lags badly and that the game requires an online connection (which sucks for my google nexus 7).

hi guys, im new here. here is my problem:

i have a brand new samsung galaxy s3 and im having a problem with the s voice application. it works fine on data conection, but when i switch to wifi i get "network error. please try again". this is the second phone the dealer gave me. the previous one was giving the same error, i returned and got a new one and still having same problem. its a non rooted international version.

can anyone help me with this???many thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Olywa123:
If you've had two S3's with this same problem I'd say chances are it's not the phone. Where are you trying this - at home? How is your wifi signal generally?

I find the S3 Wifi signal is not as good as my S2 was and so in certain corners of my home the wifi signal is more picky and even though still connected I will also get network error with s-voice, being closer to the router resolves this for me although it is a pain.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
Use titanium backup and backup the app data before you screw around. Does it work at all on the N7?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CAJBarnes:
It worked prior to the update, now its in a bootloop. I was starting to think that it was a problem with jellybean devices b/c I had the same problem on my phone but after trying again it now works. I've been reading the comments and it seems that the problem may be due to it not recognizing wifi only as an internet connection.
