Tethering on that bad boy will be awesome! Then when I head upstate I can still fall back on VZW's 1x roaming. LOL! Seriously, I love sprints 1 yr upgrades. Can't wait!
[EVO 4G General] DiMa1720:
exactly im loving the fact that i can upgrade in 1 yr now... hopefully this phone will be coming out as my upgrade approaches...
[EVO 4G General] magicalan:
illl buy it right now! if it works with sprint :D then sell my hero later.. or give it to my brother..
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Hmm, Just joined Sprint in Oct and started a family plan. What is this 1 year upgrade?
[EVO 4G General] DiMa1720:
sprint offers its preimer members 1yr upgrades instead of waiting the full two years, i dont know what qualifes you to be a member but i know i am, i would just call and ask if you could join or if you are one already
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
Pay your bill on time for three months, and you are enrolled in S|P program, I believe.
[EVO 4G General] mrinehart93:
I've gotten the bill on time for three months, but what's the S|P program?
[EVO 4G General] samrozzi:
its the sprint premier customer.

it makes you eligible for upgrades once every 12 months and you get 25% off all accessories.

you have to have an individual line plan for more than 70$ a month or a family plan totaling more than 100$ a month, pay your bills on time and sometimes jsut be with sprint for awhile.
[EVO 4G General] tkirton:
Either you have to be with Sprint for 10 years or get a plan that starts somewhere around $75-$100/year and wait three months.
[EVO 4G General] SystemIdleProcess:
I don't suppose there is any word on if it will have 802.16m instead of 802.16e.
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
I look forward to seeing reviews of this phone. Even on 3G, this phone will be a beast compared to the Hero/Moment. I have my upgrade coming in October, but will see how 2.1 performs on my Hero when it is released.
[EVO 4G General] jonnythan:
A beast in more ways than one - it's going to be humongous.
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
Very true. I hope the Sprint Nexus One rumors are true. I don't know if I'd want a phone larger than that in my pocket. Although, the lure of a 4.3" screen is inticing :D
[EVO 4G General] deadonarivalry:
I looked at a comp video of SS to iPhone... not that much bigger. When it drops, I'll hit the Sprint store and see if I like the feel of it in my hand. I can always get a holster or something if I don't want it in my pocket all the time. Lol.
[EVO 4G General] abcdfv:
I'll wait til it's rooted, but should be eligable in november.
[EVO 4G General] deadonarivalry:
Might wait til it's rooted. But with the Snapdragon, everything should be super snappy from jump. I'll check the reviews vids and play with it in-store before making my final decision, though.
[EVO 4G General] theresthatguy:
I was on my sprint checking my bill and stuff other day and Sprint premier customer is now a 6 month deal instead of 3 btw.
[EVO 4G General] swornenemy:
Really? Only 6 months now? NICE!
[EVO 4G General] abcdfv:
6 Months until you're made Premier.
[EVO 4G General] arashed31:
Check for your upgrade here:

http://www.sprintpcs.com/pages/upgradeProgram.html
[EVO 4G General] Is_907:
Cool, I checked that page and it contains a better explanation of the upgrade pricing for Premier customers:

"Customers eligible for $150 with two-year subscriber agreement can either get $150 off or Sprint’s nationally advertised price on a new device, whichever is better. Nationally advertised price reflects regular price minus all eligible mail-in and instant rebates."

That last sentence really explains things well.
[EVO 4G General] flammenwurfer:
There's no doubt the Supersonic will be a beast! My concern is battery life with that 4.3in screen and fast processor. If it's comparable with my Hero then I'll be happy.

We have a family plan, so we'll be eligible for 1 upgrade at the beginning of December. If there is a phone that we really want to upgrade to we could use the upgrade to get 1 and then sell our 2 Heros hopefully for enough to get a 2nd one.
[EVO 4G General] ro_bro:
from email sent to me by sprint cust service

To be eligible for the Sprint Premier program, Sprint customers must be

at least 6 month or greater tenure and meet one of the following

criteria to be eligible:

• $69.99 or greater MRC for single plan (based on 3-month

average)

• $99.99 or greater MRC for shared plan (based on 3-month

average)
[EVO 4G General] BhRaElEfD:
Disappointing...somewhat

Too bad no AMOLED screen. Could've been the "perfect" phone for me...
[EVO 4G General] HeroMeng:
Looks nice. I'll be eligible for a new phone in Oct, so I can wait. This phone is worlds above the Instinct I had before it, so I'm wondering how that will be.
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
While the instinct isn't a bad phone, it doesn't take much for any smart phone to be an improvement over the instinct.
[EVO 4G General] watzone69:
and if the Supersonic is to tame for you, this one's gonna rock you like a hurricane!!

[EVO 4G General] ricersniper:
i plan on taking advantage of sprints lemon policy to get the phone when its released. i got my old palm pro that way when i had all sorts of issues with the 800w. i have all ready had to replace my hero 3 times. once was my fault and it didn't really need to go back. the second time the 3.5 mm jack died and the third time the headset speaker started making a funny metallic noise. as in the past after the 4th or 5th replacement they are obligated to give you the next comparable model phone and i will make sure that it happens about a week after the supersonic comes out.
[EVO 4G General] freexx89:
waiting egarlyyyy
[EVO 4G General] minorsecond:
Careful they don't stick you with the Moment
[EVO 4G General] Is_907:
I had my Pre replaced 4 times then finally was given a Hero. I think as long as you get something of "equal or lesser value" so to speak you're okay. The Hero was an upgrade in that it was a much newer phone but it was about the same price to them as replacing with another Pre.

Be nice to the managers and assistant managers... it pays off ;)
[EVO 4G General] droideveloper:
Not cool.

People like you are what make the prices higher for everyone else.

Are you also going to brag about being on disability for a bad back?

Or how you took advantage of Costco's TV return policy as a way for free yearly upgrades till they cancelled it?
[EVO 4G General] Sottilde:
Wow, dude. Chill. He does have a legitimate claim, actually. Three broken phones is no picnic, that cost him money and time too.
[EVO 4G General] theresthatguy:
don't you guys read rss feeds? :p
[EVO 4G General] Tipharet:
Whats this return policy you speak of...
[EVO 4G General] maejrep:
Yeah, that is almost certainly not going to be a phone, FYI (though it will have wimax and 3g connectivity). I guess that in itself could make some people consider it a phone, but to me, a phone as a maximum form factor :)

http://www.qctconnect.com/products/snapdragon.html
[EVO 4G General] ELIMINATED:
Have we seen any news on when the Supersonic will be released? Is it for sure it will be through Sprint? I remember all the crud that we went through with the Hero.
[EVO 4G General] don_sefer:
hope supersonic have 4.3" screen like hd2... if yes, goodbye hd2 ^^
[EVO 4G General] gmelchert:
I got an instant upgrade when I acivated my account with sprint. but in the fine print, when I check my eligibility it says "program expires April 18, 2010 :( the supersonic better be out by then... if not I'll buy it at full price and skip the ipad for now haha and to people who asked if the nexus one rumor was true... yes it is, it was tweeted this morning by sprint. bummer bout the non-AMOLED screen... btw... Anyone know why I got an instant upgrade when I switched to sprint?
[EVO 4G General] brinox:
is this comment referring to the nexus one or the supersonic?

http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/htc-a9292-supersonic-shows-up-in-another-inventory-listing/

It's anyone's guess whether we'll see this mythical Supersonic from HTC show up at CTIA next week (wouldn't that be awesome?), but a phone identified as the HTC A9292 has recently made an appearance in yet another internal system which can't be a bad sign. As a refresher, the A9292 is popularly believed to be the Supersonic, a 4.3-inch Android-powered beast for Sprint that could become one of the carrier's very first WiMAX-enabled phones. This time around, the phone's turned up in a warehouse portal used by indirect third-party dealers, which would seem like a sign that they're getting ready to distribute these bad boys; hopefully we'll know all in just a few days' time out in Vegas. Stay tuned.
[EVO 4G General] ajones7279:
Everything I've been seeing is saying it's gonna be a summer release but take that with a grain of salt.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Apparently the guys at engadget is stupid, because it CLEARLY says SPRINT on the screen. So how would it be a 3rd party??

http://www.glowfoto.com/viewimage.php?img=18-091827L&rand=1169&t=jpg&m=03&y=2010&srv=img6
[EVO 4G General] kellybrf:
the program always expires when the current mir window closes, but then starts again. dont ask me why though...

yes, because there is NO WAY that systems used by third parties would have a system with the name of the company theyre selling products for! youre probably right though, its the guys over at one of the most respected tech blogs that are stupid...
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
HAHA, you clown. Dont try and come at me when they are the ones who purposely "CROPPED" the photo so that it doesn't show the Sprint name. So if it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck..........you know the rest.
[EVO 4G General] ajones7279:
It could be a decepticon.....posing like a duck. :D
[EVO 4G General] mental26:
FDT is indeed a sprint system used in the call centers... I can't remember but I think 3rd party retail stores (warehouses, other companies, etc.) use it too.
[EVO 4G General] kellybrf:
they cropped the photo to make it fit their banner pic. fdt IS the system third parties use to order phones, and the program is from sprint and therefore says sprint on it. wanna keep going?
[EVO 4G General] richse:
Yeah, you is so right. They is so stupid. It wouldn't make any sense for a sprint 3rd party dealer to have the sprint logo on their inventory. Obviously Engadget cropped the photo and they are just trying to trick you because they is bad people.

On a more serious note, is anyone surprised that a moron like swaze actually knows how to use a computer and found xda.
[EVO 4G General] donalgodon:
Sorry to ask such a noob question, but if I use an HD2 now in Latin America on a GSM network, would this phone work here as well? I'd be interested in buying one if it were possible to use it here.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Good you found a grammatical error, now since you are so smart why not go dig a hole and then bury yourself in it.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Phone looks pretty sweet. With absolutely ZERO QWERTY sliders on the horizon (with large screens) I may have to look hard at this.

Those of you that can't seem to keep your Epeens in check and feel the need to argue up every thread with senseless *****ing need to be banned.
[EVO 4G General] noidea`:
This phone is being built for Sprint's CDMA network ;)

So it wont work with your GSM network.
[EVO 4G General] BhRaElEfD:
It is referring to the Supersonic; the N1 has an AMOLED screen.
[EVO 4G General] abov3dis:
oh i have to say goodbye to my beloved hero,too bad
[EVO 4G General] Vegeta:
is there a way to unlock, cook it and release a GSM build rom ? tx
[EVO 4G General] tstack77:
No, you're looking at this the wrong way.

What you want to do is open the case, remove the CDMA radio and swap it for a GSM radio, then find a place to add a SIM card.

It's not a software issue.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
Alright people, I just bumped this ancient thread for a real world reason.....look at the first page, when people say they are truly pissed about the 1yr upgrade they mean it, look at how it was mentioned in this thread seriously, it was to be praised, thanks Sprint for taking mine away along with others....

The more interesting thing to me about this topic is that people knew about the EVO as far ahead as January last year. This year its pretty silent so far...
[EVO 4G General] speedy0339:
Before Sprint called the evo, "The Evo 4g" it's name was the supersonic. Why would they make another phone with the same name? Unless its the supersonic 2...
[EVO 4G General] richse:
Since when did Sprint take away the 1 year upgrade? I'm pretty sure I still have it.

[EVO 4G General] richse:
Then what was the point of the person's post that revived this thread?
[EVO 4G General] bwcorvus:
They are changing the upgrades, and unless you with them over 10 years or have a plan over a certain amount, you will not have a yearly upgrade anymore.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947274
[EVO 4G General] richse:
So they did basically take it away for a large portion of their customers. That sucks. DirtyShroomz, I thought you worked for Sprint, why are you saying "they haven't" when that other post clearly indicates they have?
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Because whatever it is they are doing doesn't go in effect until April 1st. So they haven't done anything as of yet.

[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
IIRC this was posted in the HERO forums. It was moved to the EVO forum when it was started.
[EVO 4G General] newone757:
this combined with the $10 extra charge for all smartphones is gonna cause me to leave sprint here soon. with 3 lines and two wanting upgrades soon, its would raise my monthly bill another $20, plus no yearly upgrade. Which makes thier pricing about the same or even more than other carriers for me now.

That was Sprint selling points, cheap plans, and yearly upgrades.

edit: the fact that 4g is garbage (slower than any carriers 3g, and I tested in a sprint store) where i live doesnt help their case. and clearwire is abandoning consumer business, wimax building penetration is the worst. Yeah, the more I type the more I realize Ill be leaving sooner than later, $200 etf's and all (ill be spending more than that over the life of the contract in extra data charges anyway). Just not sure where to go now.
[General Questions and Answers] cris_rowlands:
As the title suggests, I use Visual Basic and was wondering how to change what image is shown in an imagebox through code?

Most of the suggestions google found me only work with the normal .net framework, not the compact version >.<

Any ideas anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
The following code will change it.

pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap("\\windows\\bt_tran.bmp");

I only code in C#, but in this case the code is almost identical for VB and C#

VB: Use single slashes in the pathname, and drop the C# end of line character ';'

Insert your pathname in the function.

Note that the 'Image' property is itself an 'Image' object, you can't just stuff a path to your file in it, as you do when it is created in design mode. The path is a string, the object types won't match, and the compiler will throw it out. You have to create a new image from the pathname first and pass it that instead.

The pathname must exist on the emulator or on your device, or it will throw an error. Don't make the mistake of referring to a file on your PC, your device can't see it.

[HD2 General] Sallcho:
Hello,

Just a poll to know, while driving and using GPS navigation software do you use your HD2(and other 2-way capable devices) in landscape or portrait position?
[HD2 General] omershahab:
I'm using Landscape but my screen keeps turning off automatically after a while running the GPS with iGO8.

Anyway to disable this auto shutoff while GPS is running?
[HD2 General] Josan123:
Landscape, as Navigon Mobile only displays the advanced route information in Landscape mode (pictures of exits).
[HD2 General] novaci:
I'm using landscape mode with CoPilot Live. Works beautifully!
[HD2 General] zift:
Portrait

I want to know where I am going, not what is around!!!!
[HD2 General] thegios:
somewhere in the settings choose any other option besides DEVICE SETTINGS

this applies also for screen orientation
[HD2 General] Archer:
FLAME ON!!!

I can't wait till the flaming starts over this. It'll be great sitting back and watching people slating each other over the orientation of their device. I wonder how iPhones will be brought into this discussion though?

;)
[HD2 General] Alpha4:
By merely mentioning them perhaps?
[HD2 General] thomas_pieps:
landscape with TomTom 7 here, works fine
[HD2 General] Sallcho:
Well, I use iGO8 in portrait and 3D view because you can see the road a bit further ahead. I think I should get used to landscape :)
[HD2 General] lbkn:
Portrait!

This is one of the most odd phenomenons in the world: why do manufaturers make gps in landscape mode?? It is only topped by one oddity: why does the customers accept a nobrainer as landscape mode for gps navigation?

You are moving forward and is probably more interested in what lies ahead then what happens a kilometer to each side? It is an artisfact of the all-ruling marketing "logic". It looks hip resembling a cinema movie ... so it must be right says the marketing "logic".

My first gps unit only had forced landscape and it showed a broad info band at the bottom and a broad info band at the top, leaving only 60% of the already small forward area for the actual purpose of showing the road. Jesus Christ, how dumb can it get!!?!

I must quote John Cleese: "marketing people! <spitting noise>"

I have an HTC Desire and is thrilled about Google Maps in portrait mode. I am checking out the Garmin 3790 with natural portrait mode!

I would ask in their Q&A section then, someone is bound to be able to help you
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
Meh, fail troll has failed.

Get the boot.img from the ramhack thread (select any you wish), make a note of which version of CM kernel you're getting the boot.img for, then get a CM build of that version and pull out the /system/lib/modules and /system/modules directories (you'll need these later so you can have wifi working etc).

In linux, download "extract-kernel.pl", "extract-ramdisk.pl", and the "mkbootimg" binary (google them) and add them to your $PATH (for example, toss them in ~/bin and when you open a terminal, export $PATH = $PATH:~/bin).

The reason the hacked boot.img can't boot the Hero build is because of differences at the ramdisk, so you just need to repack a new boot.img with the ramhacked-kernel and the desired target ramdisk.

First, extract the kernel from the ramhacked boot.img (extract-kernel.pl boot.img), then extract the ramdisk from the QTek boot.img (extract-ramdisk.pl boot.img). When you extract the ramdisk, you'll end up with a bunch of directories, a couple init.rc files, and a .gz, that one is the already-compressed ramdisk, so now all you have to do is (mkbootfs --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz -cmdline "no_console_suspend=1 console=null" -o 10mbBoot.img).

After you have your 10mbBoot.img, you can rename it to boot.img (or flash it through fastboot) and the rom will have the 10 MB ramhack now.

Now, remember those /system/lib/modules and /system/modules? From /system/lib/modules you need wlan.ko and from /system/modules you need modules.sqfs. The reason is that the modules are created against the kernel, so, if you change the kernel, the modules won't work anymore. So, now you have to take the two you got from CM's kernel and toss them to the Hero rom with the hacked kernel, and that is the short and long of it.

By the way, does the 10 MB ramhack work on the Sapphire? (they should rename the Sapphire forum "Magic" since the 32a board is the Magic and the 32b is the Sapphire).
