mild fail? I said I'm not trying to detour anyone. If you want to get one... then be my guest, in fact, it looks like the best android phone to date. *I* am just not getting one, and was letting whoever cared to know, why I wasn't.

I'm not sure how you are interpreting what I wrote, but I'm going to try to lay it as flat on the table as possible.

-All the roms floating around on xda right now may not be fully functional with the EVO.

-root may not be possible out of the box, or for a long time, or even at all.

-custom build for the wimax code may be proprietary and might not ever get merged with AOSP.

-updates to the next version of android will depend totally on sprint and htc.

-android, senceUI, and wimax will work fine right out of the box I am sure of it.

that is all I'm saying, you are acting like I'm attacking the EVO, I am absolutely not. I was probably going to get one until I read that article, and the points I made are why. These are my personal beliefs after seeing what has happened with sprint and android up until this point, take it however you want, but please take with a grain of salt, any one or all the points I made may not end up being true.

That is all.
[EVO 4G General] chronster:
Early adopters of any new technology will always face mild setbacks like these.

So long as someone can figure out stealth tethering, I don't think people will be going nuts having to wait for a custom rom.

I still really want one, but I'm going to use my TP2 on sprint for as long as I can until I get bored with it, and too upset with people stopping development on wm6+ apps simply because wm7 was announced.
[EVO 4G General] hokansoc:
tethering is a native feature of the phone, and there's no limit on data usage... so i don't know what you're worried about.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
it comes on other sprint android phones out of the box as well, but you have to pay for the tethering access for it to work. There's actually 2 accounts in your radio programming on your phone, one for normal data, one for shared, the second doesn't work unless sprint enables it. The wifi tethering hack just pushes both accesses through the same account.

I can see why he would be concerned
[EVO 4G General] hokansoc:
Thats a good point, but with them pushing that as such a large selling point of the phone i can't see them charging too much extra for it... *shrug*
[EVO 4G General] LordLugard:
I'm definitely not going the *official* tethering route. It's data that i'm already paying for and shouldn't matter which pipe it's coming out of as long as i'm within my cap.

Case in point, on my Treo Pro, with all the tethering i do via wifirouter i still come out less than 5gb/month.

PDANet, i'm looking at you come summer time.
[EVO 4G General] hokansoc:
Not that the whole 5gb thing matters, as there isn't a cap on cell usage. Only airCards / the overdrive have a 5gb cap on them. The cell plans still don't.
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
The real question is, WHEN will it be available for T-Mobile???
[EVO 4G General] AstainHellbring:
Unless tmobile signs on to wimax it wont be
[EVO 4G General] newone757:
this might be a valid point if The evo 4g wasn't shipping with android 2.2 Froyo, which will most likely support these things *fingers crossed tho*
[EVO 4G General] zenulator:
This is idiotic. There already is 4G support in android as evidenced by the EVO it's self and root will happen no matter what. I have no doubt that it will be running Froyo when it comes out so "other" roms won't really matter and who would want to run "other" roms when you have a Froyo base running the latest Sense UI on a HDMI streaming Snapdragon Beast. Maybe I missed the whole point of this thread but finding potential problems on a product thats not even going to be released for another couple months at the least is quite annoying. I'll be getting one if Sprint doesn't one up it's self with something better before then.

Oh by the way HTC broke compatibility with 2.1 Hero and AOSP with their 2.6.29 kernel by using their own non standard power management in kernel. This is the only flaw I can see that would validate this thread and thats if this new power management makes it into the EVO and if and when they release the kernel source. Time will tell. Not random guessing and random andorid "news".
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
Thanks for your input, I disagree with everything you just said, but time will tell which one is right.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
This is funny. The EVO is what it is, and will be what it will be, once it is released. Even at that time, it won't matter which one of you is right, simply because... well, it doesn't matter.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
Well I wasn't meaning it as an e-peen war kinda way, because obviously, mine's the biggest ;) But more of a, in 6 months after you bought it and the novelity wears off of being the latest and greatest, and you start looking for more you might be saying "I shouldn't have got this" or "MAN I should have got this other one" kinda way. Hell you might still love it, but like I said, time will tell.

I keep thinking about the cupcake/donut WTF they got going for the sprint hero that doesn't work completely with newer AOSP roms. I have a feeling the EVO is going to be the sprint hero all over agian. But even if it does come with a build based off of AOSP froyo (which I doubt), down the road when gingerbread hits, I can guarantee the nexus will see it first and you'll be waiting on sprint to get off their ass. There is not a single doubt in my mind of this.

The custom roms won't be as nice either, you'll get hacky ports of the ones that were made for dev phones. The nexus will get more support. If you call bull****... look at the hero the community while pretty big, but it's all just hacky ports. Still don't have a fully functional 2.1 on the hero, something is always still broken in any of the ones we have I've love what they've been able to do, but the community and support is just not fully there like it is for other phones.

If neither of these are important to you then fine, read elsewhere.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I'll read what I wish, thanks. And I'll put no stock into your opinion as anything other than what it is.
[EVO 4G General] dariFRESH:
i'm also think i'll be passing on the EVO for now *flinches* ...i'm comfortable with my hero despite the aforementioned and i am more excited about the hummingbird processor. Sadly, i'm anti samsung and that lc slider i havent even paid attn 2 so i'll see what the future holds
[EVO 4G General] Lessthantito:
I hope that there is going to be a Android phone for Sprint with a hardware keyboard that will compare to the EVO as far as processor and cam
[EVO 4G General] mountaindont:
+1

and a trackball with leds :-D
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
they have revamped the multi touch on the htc incredible and htc evo to support "actual multi touch" unlike any other android devices out now. From what I'm reading it works more like the iphone's touchscreen where it accepts independent and sequential multi touch. Say you hold down a key on the keyboard and before you let off the first you press a second key, it actually registers correctly unlike all the others android devices to include the nexus one. See link below.

http://phandroid.com/2010/04/20/mul...oid-incredible-and-evo-4g-thanks-to-maxtouch/

I'm actually changing my mind and getting an evo afterall it just seems to be stacking too much in it's favor. I think I can look past the no rooting out the box and lesser potential dev support and being at sprint and htc's whim.

but I agree a hardware keyboard and AMOLED would be the only things I would change I think. I don't use my trackball anymore.
[EVO 4G General] Manicmobileaddict:
rooting

what is rooting anyway?
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
it gives to full access to your phone, put whatever you want on it and edit the phone ouside of what it was originally designed to do. Alot of talk about rooting in any of the android phone developer subforums.

Also check out link.

2.2 isn't Froyo... atleast I don't recall it being named as that.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
It has been confirmed the next revision will be called froyo for frozen yogurt, comments in portions of code in the sdk for this phone actually makes reference to it being called froyo. And 2.2 devices are starting to ping major websites in a number large enough to be believed as beta testers.

What hasn't been confirmed is if the evo will actually have 2.2 yet, or just 2.1 with some things from froyo twisted into it.

I think it's a solid assumption in fact I'll put my reputation on it, if 2.2 isn't froyo I'll eat my hat, and post a video of such action

just randomly clicked on an EVO ad and it bought me to this site

http://now.sprint.com/evo/?intcid=inp100419evous

clicked on the tech specs and it says Android 2.1 ... I freaking knew it, it's gonna be the like the 1.5/1.6 mashup on the heros all over agian...

that really sucks balls, still probably getting one, it just kinda sucks having non-standard versions
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
As I said on another thread:
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
I been with sprint waaaay too long to see their flagship devices fall by the waist side. Lots of attention to get you to buy it, but once they got your money, unless it is seriously effecting functionality... they could almost care less. Even if it's their best selling device
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
But they spent WAY too much money to have a phone designed SPECIFICALLY for them. A lot of the HTC phones are designed, then slight changes are here and there for different carriers.

The EVO, all-be close to the HD2, has significant amount of changes. Granted, you could be right, we could all go and get it, and then Sprint say screw it, and mass fragmentation will occur...

But, I'm guessing this'll be the device that'll be highly supported for at least 9-12 months, so.. Hopefully they'll push stuff out as fast as possible.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
were you with sprint for the instinct? that phone was a freaking mess, sold great, then one day they just gave up on it. I know an assload of people that still have that phone... they love it, but they hate it at the same time. All for the same reasons, and haven't gotten an update that fixed any of their complaints in ages.

With the instinct they had a whole add campaign and marketing out the ass, costed millions, the instinct was supposed to "save sprint" it was the best selling phone in sprint's history... calling it the iphone killer, if I remember correctly it was the first one to aim to be that, before the flood of "iphone killers" appeared. None of which even compared, palm pre came close, android might win however.

I don't want to drag this O/T but only time will tell what will happen on that one. It's fun to speculate though ;)
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Haha, you're right in that fact. I guess I'm hoping, more than anything. It would just seem to me that with th 4G launch, and the crazy amount of time they've spent with this device, they'll baby it for awhile...

Granted, we could be screwed 1 month after unboxing, I'm more or less convincing myself otherwise.
[EVO 4G General] bzh10136:
the evo will come with android 2.1
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
It NOT having AMOLED is why i want it so bad. I cant see/read anything on my N1 AMOLED while outside. My Iphone you can see/read well.

If you never go outside......ever, then AMOLED is a great display. It's actually so bad on the N1 that i sometimes wonder why in the world any manufacturer would use one. Again if you never use your phone outside, go for AMOLED. If you do want to make calls or text or do anything but receive calls while outside, AMOLED is a major FAIL.
[EVO 4G General] mykenyc:
That's how it was for me with my N1 til i enabled auto brightness and i can see fine. As far as the evo goes i hope sprint customers do get to enjoy it ,they need it. A lot of people are switching to sprint from T-mobile and other carriers i think this is funny. I laugh at people like this because your signing up for two years with sprint for a device that will be yesterday technology soon...look at Engadget for instance with Intel tapping into 1.5ghz cpu for mobile. Me personally (no I'm not trolling honestly I'm not) if i had to choose between the N1 or Evo i would choose the N1 simply because i prefer vanilla android, also i just think the screen is way to big. but that's just my opinion. I'm more looking forward to Nokia N8 and keeping my N1.

....i just couldn't imagine having a hard case protector on the EVO and putting that thing in my pocket lol. I wish the screen was like 4in max and that's pushing it.

again my opinion so i don't need your EVO people attacking me .. free speech eh!
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
Auto brightness or brightness on high i cant see my phone (N1) outside unless it's a cloudy day or Night time. I have better than 20 20 vision. I might be able to get a number dialed, but thats it. Cant do any internet, text, or anything other than dial a number.
[EVO 4G General] modidlee:
something doesn't sound right there. with auto brightness turned on I can see my N1 screen as good as any other phone I ever had. I know without a doubt that all the reports are over-exaggerated
[Desire General] Bandare:
I just wondered, after reading a lot about the HD2 on this site and lookig at the vast array of custom Rom's that are available, I wondered if this was the case for the Android phones too, just like the WM based phones?

Is this something that isn't as easy to do on Android?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Don't mean to look like a cow but why not go and look at development in the other android forums... That should answer your question.

[HD2 General] leoni1980:
just to clarify....you are using exchange right? not the default gmail setup?
[HD2 General] :
I'm wanting to import the "Phone" contacts from my g1. these are synced with my google account. If I look at google voice for that account all these contacts are there. So how should I do that?
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
you need to setup Outlook for your gmail, the default gmail is IMAP and syncs email only.

go to outlook setup and fill in your username and password as your gmail credentials. the domain can be left blank and when asked set the server address as m.google.com

once completed you will be given a column of tick boxes, be sure to untick the tasks option.

then sync. it may take a couple of syncs to work; i find that if i go to the actual Activesync app and hit sync it seems to work better the first time round.
[HD2 General] :
awesome! thanks. How can I get rid of the activesync that's on there now? like the one I already set up?
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
just scroll to the email tab, press Menu, Account Options, Delete.

[HD2 General] HotShotAzn:
NM, solved.
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
Mines blank. Are you using HTC's setup wizard or creating an Activesync partnership through Activesync itself?

I always just run the setup by going to Settings, Data Services, Activesync. I then find the actual Activesync programme and select the sync option. Sometimes it takes a couple of goes to kick in, and I usually leave the programme open while it's syncing as occasionally when I put the programme into the background it doesn't finish syncing.

Elegancia has Miri’s ROM as a base, but it includes a lot of customizations, plenty of eye candy and many other goodies

This build uses the same System that came with your device when you got it.

• Ex-CHT (6.5.5/6.5.x build) is the latest Microsoft Build. It has the Start Menu Button at the bottom left corner.

This is the most prefered build as it is more "finger friendly" than 6.5 build ;)

The two following Android builds for HD2 runs like a charm with Elegancia Roms.

I wonder if there is even one bug :confused: the battery last a day, which is not bad for HD2 Android. And most important voice is clear, and those builds do not screw up the Windows Phone :)

We get many choices, I guess they all worth smoothly with Elegancia Roms
