I have a ways to go before I get there but my daughter is 4 years old and tech savvy already. I don't have to worry about this just yet but I'm pretty sure when it's time I will start to think like you are. You wanna protect your kids at all times but you also want them to know that you trust them when you aren't around. It's tough trying to get it through your child's skull that you have their best interest in mind and especially a female. You just have to trust that the values you instilled in her will allow her to make wise decisions. The bad thing is nowadays cell phones are necessities especially dealing with young children and teenagers. However, on the flip side, it gives them more access to social networking sites and so on all the time. I know you want to monitor her activity but sneaking and doing it is probably not the best solution because that will lose the trust that she has built for you to this point. These programs are ok but eventually it'll catch up to you. I just think that if you see something in one of those texts and approach her about it, it's gonna end bad for you because then she will know that you were spying on her. I don't know if you care about that but it's something to think about before you go down this path. Talk to her and let her know that you trust her to do what's right when she is using the phone. I just think that sneaking and doing it is the worst thing you can do to your child.

Oh and Mikey you rock. 2.3 is even better than 2.0 and my battery life is awesome. No more lag, Beats Audio options, Back button to sleep and track skip controls! There's more but these are the ones I use daily. All we need now is source and ICS will be a thing of the past. Well for me anyways. LoL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
It's an interesting product, but they store your data on their Web server. I read over a hundred reviews and the biggest complaint is there is no way to have your data deleted. That's a bit scarry.

What's really amazing is that Sprint won't block private numbers upon request.

Mikey, not everyone can live up to your customer service. Thank you for everything you do.

My Alarm clock doesn't go off everyday. I set if for the morning for Tues - Sat. It will ring on Tues but on Wed the alarm clock symbol never shows up at the top of the screen. I need to manually uncheck the alarm and alarm for it to work the next day.

Any solutions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I use Extreme Call Blocker to block private numbers. I found the latest version (as of a couple weeks ago) to be a little buggy as it puts your phone on silence mode when a blocked call comes in and then doesn't re-enable sound after the call, leaving the phone in silent mode after the blocked call. Other than that (which they may have fixed by now), it works great. You can block SMS/MMS too. By number or "unknown".

Men my wifi tether Keeps Stopping/fcing. Is this an Issue or Is there Something I Can do to fix it. PLS HELP
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Ok I have googled this over and over. Someone please tell me what app to use to replace HTC sync manager that mikey has removed? I don't give 2 cents about syncing my music so iTunes really isn't an answer for me. I have almost 200 contacts in outlook and I NEED to sync them. This is otherwise a great rom but I just cannot live without the ability to sync outlook contacts.

I tested this last night and reinstalling version 2.0 worked when I installed signed copies of the htcsyncmanager.apk. This now no longer works post 2.0.

Please help me. I really don't want to bail on this rom.

I've been using an Outlook addon called GSYNCIT for a couple of weeks now. I've had to clear its cache for the calendar once or twice, but contacts haven't caused any issues I'm aware of. Believe you can get your money back for up to 2 weeks... It also syncs my Pocket Informant tasks and Google calendars quite nicely.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
A comment about the wifi off when screen is off. If you are using push for email using non gmail clients (I use k9), push will not work. I'm not entirely sure how gmail gets around this. An active data connection is required for any push to work (be it gmail or something else).

I leave my wifi on all the time, even when screen is off/phone is asleep. Push email (k9 mail) works just fine, and battery draw is minimal. The only other syncing functions are google calendar/contacts, and weather, but only when screen is turned on.

Speaking of wifi, where is the option to disable wifi during night time hours (12am-7am, or whatever it was) ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
Are you talking about Exchange ActiveSync?

My contacts sync just fine. Im on 2.3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
No. HtcSyncManager. It syncs with outlook contacts. Mikey calls it bloatware and doesn't like it so he removed it. I'm attempting to put it back as I still use this quite often.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
I replied to your question on the page before this one...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
That has been removed since the ICS days. It was SmartSync I believe.

Also you might be confusing Wifi with your Sprint data connection. With Wifi off you are still going to get push email because it uses the data connection(1X/3G/4G). I don't use k9, but maybe check in the settings where you will get push email from both Wifi and network data connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Sure.. Makes sense. But wifi would/should consume less battery than mobile data (1x/3g/4g/lte).

After some light digging I found the answer. Apparently there's a zip to flash that changes the mode. Really nothing more than a build.prop edit

ro.no.nightmode.SPCS_001=false

ro.no.nightmode=false

I'll test this out on the next reboot. I'm normally asleep at night, so no need to keep the wifi open. Nice to have control over this however.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Hi! Yes I saw that! Unfortunately I don't see the logic for paying $20 for an app to replace a free app that did the same thing. :( but thank you for your response.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smkyle:
Tasker is the way to go on this. You can have incoming SMS trigger a task that will delete incoming messages. You could then create an app and call it something benign like, HTC message service. You can be as complicated about it as you want.

Personally, I wouldn't do it with my daughter, but I don't know you or your daughter and you are the best person to be making the decision.

WiFi Tether issue

I have encryption turned on in WiFi tether but when I connect to it I am not asked for a password and it says open. Do I need to do something different? My passphrase is 13 characters long. I get internet access but I don't want it open.

<edit> Getting close. I changed the Device-Profile to Generic ICS/JB (wlan0) and now it asks for a password but my laptop never gets an ip address.

Access control on and off doesn't help. I changed the password and channel and still no ip address with encryption turned on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
That is understood. I'm talking about a sticky setting. Seeing how there is a update sometimes twice a day a sticky setting would be great.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nivarm09:
Can you tell me the steps you took because no matter what I do I can't flash these two
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kenpen:
No body know nathing about WiFi terrier frequently fcing...

Been looking for an answer for a while now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Sync Manager works fine with 2.3. I added it just now and it works fine: as soon as you plug in the phone, Autoplay shows up and HTC Sync Manager is selected at the top. I can't test it with MS Outhouse... didn't know anyone still used that relic: thought it died with XP, but from what I can see, it works the same as it did on 2.0 or any other version.

Did you "diddle" the file in some way? Why did you say "signed copies": that concerns me... maybe if it's a modified copy, your modified copy doesn't work? Why don't you just push the stock HTCSyncManager.apk. When I do that, it works fine. I guess I could make a flashable ZIP but honestly, it looks like you are the only one in the entire thread who wants it so if you're OK with pushing the file, maybe I don't have to?

Do you have Connection Optimizer turned off? Also, try clearing data for the WiFi Tether app and rebooting. I never get a FC with WiFi Tether but I do have the connection optimizer turned off because that interferes: that's under mobile network settings.

Just a quick note. I am thankful and humbled by the amazing responses (both public and pm) regarding my issue yesterday. We truly have the best community and developer around. I'm proud to be a MeanBean (although that sounds silly).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kenpen:
Men thanks for the response...thanks

But I have looked in network setting and can not find connection optimizers anywhere.. maybe you can post a screeny

Maybe I might have seen it doing a fresh install
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AHWagner:
Is this normal? I feel like I barely used my phone and the battery dropped rather quickly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
It's a bit hidden/poorly named. Go to settings from the main home screen, tap on "Mobile data" (the words, not the on/off switch), and then tap where it says "Automatic Connections".

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
No. do you see where your phone is "awake" and the screen is off? that's a sign you have some app running in the background. for the most part your screen on time should match your awake time. unless you're streaming music or something like that. then your screen would be off but your phone would still be awake.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy24:
Just did a full wipe and clean install of 2.3, added the sticky and white list, and I'm still getting reloads. I get it a lot when I exit out of chrome.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!! you can call it whatever you like sir! :) I'm forever pleased! I do thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Oakley707:
... Isn't every time the phone shows as awake mean you got an e-mail / text message or phone call? I just looked at my history and it looks very similar to the above screenshot, but I have two gmail accounts setup for push e-mail and receive no less than 50 e-mails a day. If this isn't typical, I'd like to take another look at it. I've noticed the biggest battery drain since moving to JB is voice calls. While on MeanROM ICS I could get 3-4 hours of talk time while now I'm lucky to get 2 hours of talk time. I know, gross I'm on the phone for almost 4 hours a day :D!

Thanks everyone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Lemme know if it works though. I'm concerned if you tried pushing the file and it didn't work because I didn't change anything (intentionally) that would change anything WRT Sync Manager.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Yes and those would be apps running causing your phone to be awake. :) try changing your sync time to something longer. I have mine maxed at 4hrs.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

It didn't work on 2.0 but let me upgrade to 2.3 and see if that works. I may have borked something trying to run these signed versions if the apks. if this fails I'll full wipe and retest. it means that much to me :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Oakley707:
One of the Gmail accounts is my work e-mail. Can't push out the sync past ten minutes... Nothing drives me more crazy than not getting e-mails on time, :).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Well there you are. :) If you're doing that activity the phone really isn't in sleep mode and is using more juice than it should. :) Stats unfortunately don't lie. So for you...that battery drain is normal. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AHWagner:
From 12:00 until when the screenshot was taken, I did not have 3G/4G or WiFi on. The phone mostly sat in a locker and/or in my pocket. I'm not sure why the phone would be "Awake" if there was no data being processed through the phone. What am I not understanding here. Lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Sadly this does not work. I did a full wipe (cache, dalvik, system, and factory reset) reinstalled 2.3 then flashed this zip. Nada. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
We went with the honesty policy and told her we were putting an app on her phone to block private calls and any text message not in her contacts. Too bad Jellybean broke the option for apps to instantly hang up and not go to voicemail. Basically, if a private call comes in, it rings silently once, then sends it to VM. I've come to the conclusion that jellybean does more harm than good.

The developer was really cool and was going to custom add features if her phone was rooted. FYI, Extreme Call Blocker is great (thanks Mikey) and works perfectly with MeanBean.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OakyTree:
I suppose I could put together something with tasker. I never really had this issue with my old rom though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Just making sure everyone knows that Google is stopping the support for ActiveSync very soon, unless you are a paid Google Apps subscriber.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Mikey, I should say for the record I'm s-on hboot 2.09 so this might limit my ability to flash to /system from recovery. As I said I wiped everything. Cache, dalvik, system and factory reset. reflashed 2.3. bone stock. then jumped into recovery and tried to run htcsyncmanager.zip it said it was successful. I rebooted and it still can't see htc sync manager. :(

As for the signed files? I used "zip signer 2" from google play to sign the files. then i installed them as you would any other apk. they installed successfully and this process worked on 2.0. I was able to sync. I am unable to do this on 2.3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
You've got something else going on then, perhaps on the computer side of things. I'm on 2.09, s-on, and it works perfectly.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
ok but it fails on my lap top as well. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Guitarified:
OK, now I'm confused. Couldn't get Beats or Sound Enhancer to work on anything so I did a clean install last night and then they both worked. Have done nothing different, but I just tried it and they aren't working again.

Any ideas?

Update: plugged in headphones then unplugged them and I was then able to turn Beats on and off. But, like others have mentioned, there seems to be no effect on the sound whether it's on or off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Do you even get the Autoplay screen with the HTC Sync Manager selection? That comes up as soon as I plug the phone in when HTCSyncManager.apk is present. Could even be a bad cable: maybe try a different one if you have one.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
You have to really watch what you install now that musicbox is in the ROM. Most things you install are not yet compatible with musicbox so if you install any tweaks, themes, or nearly anything else, you are most likely going to break some part of the musicbox code.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Guitarified:
I haven't installed anything since the clean install. Plugging my headphones in and then unplugging them got it working again, but there is no noticeable difference sound-wise with Beats on or off when listening without headphones. Do you hear a difference, Mikey? Could be my ears or my setup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
No, without headphones, only the EQ settings are supposed to work. Beats will not work without headphones.

On my after market stereo in my car, they make a huge difference. The WOW SRS and "Sweetener" are currently my favorite. I haven't had much time to play around with it because I drive for work, but def like what I hear so far! Thanks for this Mike, some of the options boost the sound to be more comparable with the sound level of a CD/DVD/Radio. The music from the phone (no matter what player) was always quieter, and for someone like me, made it much, much less desirable to jam to my phones music :D Awesome

No haptic feedback and other stuff

My wife and I both have the evo lte..(mine black..her's white)...and I noticed just recently that her phone has no haptic feedback whatsoever...if I press the home button...it just doesn't have any feedback.

I noticed a few things when comparing our phones...my phone is brighter (significantly brighter) than hers....whenever I try to activate the usb storage it never shows up in the computer (but when I switch back to the normal option it pops up but can't use it...i can however transfer files to it with the "internal storage" and "sd card" options in windows explorer..

Should I get her phone serviced at a Sprint store?
