[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DriftingJesus:
Hi all,

So I've been S=off for a year or two and have jumped around between ROMs with no issues as far as sprints network is concerned.

I recently switched to T-Mobile (One M8!!) and decided to give my phone to my sis since she lost hers recently. She's on Sprint.

We've been able to register or "activate" the phone online and through the phone. The problem is that calls don't come through. We get getting the "we're sorry you're account couldn't be validated" message. Could it be that my prl is out of date? Do I need to unroot?? Any help is greatly welcomed.

Model: EVO

Android verison: 4.4.2

Baseband version: 1.12.11.0809

Kernal version: 3.4.82-g15c16ed build01@cyanogenmod #1 Fri Mar 28 23:45:5 PDT 2014

CyanogenMod version: 11-20140329-NIGHTLY-jewel

Build number: cm_jewel_userdebug 4.4. KVT29L d5e6ae85e4

PRL version: 25017

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You have to be on a stock ROM to activate the device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
You probably need to flash a stock, sense based ROM to complete activation.

Edit: I see Captain answered just as I did.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DriftingJesus:
Thanks for your help!

Are the stock ROMs available here?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Practically any Sense ROM will work. Just take a look in the development thread and find one to flash. It's highly advised to keep a Sense ROM backup handy in case of future issues. There are things you can do on a Sense ROM that you cannot do on a AOSP ROM like CM.

If you're on the old partition setup you can flash the ROM from this thread:

New thread series - reasons to buy this phone from a new user, who is myself.

My Android phone history - HTC EVO, HTC EVO 3D, Sprint Epic 4G Touch, HTC Evo LTE, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4.

---Camera---

I always have to take 3-5 consecutive shots to get a sharp picture. I think it's because my hands shake, and there's not much I can do about it - it's enough to make even the best-focused shot blurry. This has always been the case with me and smartphone cameras - hold as still as you can, take 3+ shots, and hope you got a good one.

Not so - enter the HTC One m8 camera.

I took many test shots in a Verizon store, and each shot was nearly perfectly focused, after a single try.

I also took many test shots with an S5 in a US Cellular store, and *none* of the shots were focused.

So 16 megapixels were ruined by bad focusing, while 4 megapixels were great on this phone.

I may be somewhat biased because I'm now an owner of the 4MP HTC One m8, but even S5's 16MP camera couldn't hold a candle to the 4MP in my hands.

Please discuss.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DjCalvin:
Try zooming in..

That's where the camera falls short. (only downfall I see)

I still love it though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] p2kmafia:
Ya, but that front facing camera though. Snapchat is ****ing dope though
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nabbed:
Well, you are right in the general sense. 16MP(S5) looks MUCH better than 4MP (factor of 2 in sharpness - 2x2 vs. 4x4) under ideal circumstances. But that isn't the only variable.

But my point was like this - even if I zoom in, blurry cannot be fixed, because of bad focusing on Samsung phones. Blurring made my 13MP shots (S4) look like 1MP at best!

I was actually amazed at how well the HTC camera can help me focus shots - basically, all I had to do was press the button.

Also, the "best shot" is automatic with this camera, whereas on S4, you had to choose the best shot yourself (which makes zero sense.)

While the possibility is there to have better shots with Samsung phones, for me personally, not having to think about the quality and still get good shots is much more important.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hxdrummerxc:
I got my wife the S5 for "free" when I bought my m8.

While the camera on the S5 can be good with 16MP, it also makes you hold the damn phone for like 5 seconds to take the picture. Its so annoying. If you were trying to hurry and take a quick snap of something, you wouldn't stand a chance. You hit the shutter button and it seriously says something like "hold steady..." I can't remember exactly, but it take forever to snap the picture.

My m8 on the other hand, is damn instant. Sometimes I feel like I didn't even touch the shutter button yet lol.

People always get locked on the Mega Pixels. Mega Pixels does not mean better camera/pictures. I am a photographer by hobby, and any real photographer will also tell you this. Yes its true, the more mega pixels, the clearer the image usually is when you zoom in to details. (at least on a phone that is) on a real camera, a quality lens can also make or break.

My point here is, I have a 12MP Cannon DSLR that is quite a few years old now. But I have a lot of equipment (lenses, filters, etc), and even though its only 12MP it will still make any phone camera, and also most any point-and-shoot digital camera look bad. Case-in-point = Mega Pixels doesn't mean better pictures. It means bigger pictures and larger possible print sizes. Phone manufactures know that most people think "more MP=better", and they use that to market their device to attempt to sell more (Hence all the 16MP, 20mp and even 40mp phone cameras. They know people will literally say "ohhhh more mega pixels, that will take amazing photos". Lets face it, 99% of the users are NOT going to be making large 30" photo prints with their phone pictures. So IT DOESN'T MATTER.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 1ManWolfePack:
I love this camera.

I just came from a 13 megapixel G2. It WISHES it could hold a candle to this camera. Seriously.

I'm loocking for a simple sw that show the photo of the contact full screen or in a good size.... I tryed Photo Contact but I'd like one sw more simple without profiles ecc... just some sw that integrate the system phonebook and diusplay the image during a call...

Fopr the phone profile I use WMA Phone Profile and for thering assignament I use Ringo. I just need somethink to dusplay image and nothing else...

Any idea? :(
[General Topics] mccune:
Don't think you are the only one wishing this "simple" feature.. ..Now I own a QVGA screen and Microsoft uses only a small piece of the screen to show the picture :(

I would also like to have a fullscreen photo. Without the number etc. Because I already know who is calling :P

The best solution for me so far is using Address Book from Inesoft.

But it's not freeware, and still doesn't show up fullscreen..

I am her to the gear 2. Other than assuming to the home button is there a way to reorder the apps? I can see how you can reorder them on a single page but how would you move them from one page to another page. The two apps that I go to all the time are spread out so its multiple swipes to dig down to it
[Samsung Gear 2] Breach:
Rearranging shortcuts...

Tap and hold an app icon and then drag and drop it to rearrange the app shortcuts on the Gear's home screen or in the app list.

Removing app shortcuts...

Tap and hold an app icon, then drag and drop it on the remove icon at the top of the screen.
[Samsung Gear 2] muddychief:
Thanks,

I can drag the app and hover it over the page where I want it but when I drop it, it goes back to where it cam from. as I type this i am thinking that maybe I need to drag one off the page to create an empty spot? is that the case?
[Samsung Gear 2] ash99:
Delete an app off a particular page, it has an empty slot, then drag and drop the new app from a different page to the new one.

That works for me :)

I have been getting "Connection timed out" error all day today.

Any suggestions, anyone?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanu:
Does your data icon still appear or does it come and go when that happens?

My phone does that at my house because I have 3 towers with great signal and the dumb phone jumps back and forth all day so fast/much the 3G doesn't get to stay caught up so it drops and comes a lot.

Once all LTE shouldn't be an issue but I imagine your phone is either doing similar or jumping between LTE and 3G a lot maybe due to one being weak?

Try CDMA only mode for giggles too. (under more networks on settings).
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie Doo:
I don't know what the problem was. I just uninstalled the Playstore update and ran it, which went through and connected alright. So far it's been working after that.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie Doo:
Today I'm getting the same "connection timed out" error again on Playstore. I don't know if it's just me or Playstore has issues?!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanu:
Is Playstore only spot you have issues?

If the connection is really slow this will happen too.

To eliminate it being Playstore just try WiFi.

I'd bet it's the data connection though. The question would just be the cause and why. Is it dropping or just slow and if dropping is just the area tower etc.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie Doo:
Yes, Playstore is the only one having connection issues. I did the same trick and got it back.

But, you're right, I think the connection at my work area is not the greatest. All the carriers get 4G/LTE in my cubicle, except for mine. I have yet to see anything other than 3G, but not losing hope. :)

Well Odin isn't rally that hard but since you're fairly new to this I'm going to suggest you read up a lot more before attempting anything along those lines.

You could end up with a $600 paper weight if things go badly and trust me they do. The guy who made that post I sent you is waiting for his new S4 as we speak because he hard bricked it trying to do things like that. Odin can save you from a " soft brick" not a hard one.

i miss the quick access to disable my mobile data/LTE/4G connection on the S5. S4 had it right at the top. Best i can find is a widget called 'Data ON-OFF'. Couple other apps/widgets would turn it off, but not back on. i would have to go into the settings, more networks, mobile networks, and check the box by mobile data.

anyone know of a way to get this in the drop down menu in the top? On the S4 it was just a swipe and touch on the 'mobile data' button.

And it will add the disable/enable data to your notification panel and quick toggles. Some carriers have removed that quick toggle from the panel.

Note that this will just disable/reenable all data, if you need to specifically disable like LTE only and fall back to 4G, you will need a app like phone info from the app store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dcarlson01:
disable LTE

But with our AT&T phones not able to root would we be able to do that? In the tutorial it mentions needing root. Thats why I am asking

Yeah, I forgot that you are all locked sown on AT&T variants. You'll need to wait for a root method and then this will work.

I purchased an LG G2 on ebay to get me through until my iPhone 7 ships, had the same problem. I don't know if the USB debugging step is necessary, but here's what I did to get the app to recognize the phone:

1. Enable Developer Features (Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Tap Build Number like 5 times or something (it tells you how many after several taps) to enable developer features

2. Enable USB debugging (Settings > Developer options > USB debugging) - note that you cannot enable while the phone is connected to PC via USB. So unplug first then enable.

3. Start Software Upgrade Assistant software on PC.

4. Plug phone into PC and choose install/media sync mode.

5. Then go to phone and change the connection mode to internet > ethernet.

6. Update software started reading my phone status.

Unfortunately my device is 4.2.2 and software version "VS98008U" and says that it's up to date. I can't find any information about this software version anywhere, so I'm not sure what I got sold on ebay but it aint friendly. And all I want to do is upgrade to current Android version so I can install the latest ESPN Fantasy Sports app until my iPhone comes :(

I gotta vent. It's driving me nuts! My girl has my Droid DNA - and just like me when I had it, she gets at least 3 bars of LTE at home. I'm lucky to get ONE BAR of 1X on my M8!!! It's ridiculous! I can barely send text messages from home. They sit there for several minutes with the 'sending' icon. It's so choppy, people are even receiving double or triple text messages. How can one HTC phone have such incredible signal and a newer one have such terrible signal!?

When I get a chance, I'll take a look at the actual signal dB numbers. Regardless of the numbers, though, this phone's service sucks. Other than that, I absolutely love this phone.

I think the signal on M8 is much worse than on the DNA (I have access to both), but only at certain angles of the M8.

M8 has a complete solid metal back, which is completely opaque to microwave and radio waves. When you turn the M8 correctly, it gets a better signal. Not by very much but better.
