you can still do alot of magic with editing existing code, don't get me wrong, as long as you stay away from the 4g portion it will be fine, all custom roms for the hero based of stock 1.5 were freaking awesome, everything works in it just fine, alot of them worked tons better than stock...

it's just when they tried to put 2.1 in it everything kinda just all got all screwed up. Upgrading wasn't possible until the kernel source was released though... they have only been able to go so far however with the 1.5 kernel source, once the one for 2.1 is released we should be 100% good to go, but by the time it takes to release 2.1, then the kernel source, the evo or nexus should be out and it wont matter anyway (or to me it won't at least)
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Yeah, I remember the 1.5's that came out quickly. Anyways, we won't know anything until the device is in our hands, but from what I understand, it took a ****ton of work to get 4G working in 2.1, I can just see it being a pain in the ass with customs. I know you, 'stay away', but all speed tweaks will probably want to mess with the 4G as well..

Anyways, we're just shootin the breeze here, there's no way of knowing whats gonna happen until its torn into. Hell, we don't even know FOR SURE when we'll be able to buy the thing...
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
I'm cautiously optimistic about this device. Large screen, fast processor, and 720p are huge but I'm going into this knowing it may not live up to the hype. My biggest concern is the cameras being mediocre like most other htc devices. That and a bastardized rom hacking 4g into 2.1 and we end up in a similar situation as 1.5. Only time will tell. I Know one thing swype has got me thinking that I don't need a physical keyboard and I really can't wait to try it on a 4.3 Inch screen. Amazing program once you get used to it and realize how fast you can go and the software does a great job of figuring out what you want to type. It will be even easier on that beast of a screen.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
To the current Sprint customers. I know that Sprint has lost 75K users recently to date. Is this exodus due to phone choices or service?

I live in a very good 4G area but I am curious as to 3G and roaming(i heard with the unlimited plan as long as you don't go over 1/2 of your time on roaming there is no charge). There are some places I go that might be roaming areas but not often enough to go over 25%. I have heard a 50/50 saying service(3G) is good in many places because they can hook onto Verizons network(CDMA) if the signal gets weak on the Sprint Network. Do they have access to the Nextel and other networks they own? Different technologies?

I am coming from AT&T and I have been happy with them. I think Verizon does cover more outer areas but thats not my concern at the moment. I have the HTC Incredible at the moment to test out for a client. So far the signal bar shows low(I think the signal bars seem to be a wrong as the download speeds are very fast). Some people have mentioned signal bar issues but no reduction in speeds.

Anyways - I don't have a problem moving over to Sprint for this Phone but I was just curious as to the service coverage as well as the Customer Service. I had them years ago and they were horrible. I just spoke to a client who had them about 2 years ago and said the same thing. Have they learned their lesson or still the same?

Thanks for any input.

I live in the ATL, GA area.

Thanks...
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
We travel a lot and find sprint service to be very good in most places. There are some areas that will be more likely to give you trouble most notable are large steel buildings. That said I'd argue sprint is an excellent choice I came bask after a 4 year stint with at&t and I don't miss bell one bit. Sprint had improved by leaps and bounds so give them a try and see how it goes. No carrier is prefect.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Thank you for your feedback!

So true no carrier is perfect but I am looking for a Good Customer Service carrier and so far AT&T has been good at that. Service can be a pain at times and I have had 5 iphone replacements in the past 3 months. Lockups that won't reboot.

So I am ready to give another carrier and especially the EVO 4G a try. I am starting to like Android more and more. I think the Android market is gaining a lot of traction and they seem to improved more and more with each release. I am starting to recommend them to clients now. I have been testing out the Incredible for a client that needs 15 of them. I have had it for the past 2 days(got it a little early) and have been happy with it. They are offering me a htc incredible phone for my help. I might take them up on it to play around with it.

So I hope they release it before the WWDC on June 7th.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
The main thing that keeps me on sprint is the price of their plans. I get a fat military discount as well. Those are the only reasons I stay.

The coverage is not bad and not great, it does work when I need it all the time. So that's a neutral. Customer service is ample I get what I need when I call, sometimes the techs are idiots, some times they are knowledgeable, again a neutral. The roaming on verizon essentially doubles the coverage area, but I've heard 300mb limit on off network data per month, again never been charged but theoretically they could. So that's another neutral IMO.

The bad is by far the phone selection and the speed of their updates, up until recently it really hasn't been a major issue but over the past couple years I've really considered paying that extra monthly payment just to be able to get some halfway decent phones. I was this close when the iPhone 3G came out. I have been a customer with sprint for 10+ years

It's really great...:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] entropism:
Check the numbers, we're losing a TON of Nextel subscribers, and that's where the heavy losses come in. Either companies are switching their employees over due to better deals with the competition, orthe fact that the general public now realises that Nextel sucks for personal use and they're moving on. And when you have a phone that sucks (Nextel), you think the Sprint network is the same, so they ditch the company entirely.

I am going to miss winmo some.
[EVO 4G General] audscott:
Well, this is my dilemma. I've been a WinMo user since '03. It really sucked then, and really, only since 6.1 has it been reliable, IMO.

Now the question of Android. My device needs are pretty simple: Surf, a couple of easy games, watch a movie on a long flight, check weather (love Sense UI) and, and......oh, a phone. :D

I don't care too much about creating wild UI's.....that's why I like sense.

But, and maybe this isn't a good place to ask, is Android as reliable with a reasonable number of applications and updates as Winmo 6.5 or iPhone OS?

Anyone care to offer their opinion or examples.

Much appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] entropism:
The iPhone OS can be looked at as the pinnacle of stability, but you've got pretty much ZERO customization. WinMo is, well... It's horrific, really. No memory management, outdated, no standard as far as coding and UI goes, it really needs an overhaul.

Frankly, Android is where WinMo would be, if it was a good OS. It's pretty stable (not 100%, but close), you can customise if you'd like, the marketplace is scattered but good, and it just plain works. Try it out, I think you'd be really happy with it.

Sprint also has the 30 day guarantee, take it back and get a refund no charge, and they will reactivate your old phone at no charge if you don't like it.
[EVO 4G General] grb:
I left Sprint for T-Mobile when the Nexus One came out. It had nothing to do with service and 100% to do with Sprint's lack of high end phone choices (at the time). I've always had Sprint service, so I didn't actually know if the grass was greener on the other side.

I live in OKC, and Sprints service was flawless. I never dropped a call or service. If it needed to roam, it roamed, no questions asked.

My T-Mobile service is o.k., but it loses service in various areas including the center of the shop where I work. It doesn't even attempt to roam. I also drop calls on occasion.

I'm sure the region you live affects all this though, T-Mobile's service may be great in Atlanta while Sprint's may be spotty (but I doubt it).

That said, now that Sprint has a kick a** phone I will be making the switch back this summer. Luckily, I bought the unsubsidized version of the N1, so I'm not tied to a contract with TM. I just hope I can get most of the money back I paid for it. Any takers? ;)

cant put apps on sd card

My understanding is that Android cannot put apps on the sd card and run them like winmo can. Is that correct?
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
Not until you get root access for app2sd or froyo comes out. Enclair doesn't support that natively, but it can be hacked in. Froyo is said to be able to support storage on sd
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Thanks GRB for your input.

Sprint is very stong here but I travel so I wanted something that could work in many places. AT&T would work fine in most parts and Verizon extends that even a little better. I heard that Sprint roams off of the Verizon network when its out of range for Sprints network. Is that true?

I am currently with AT&T and have just recently been given an Incredible with the entire unlimited plan and its being paid for my another company. My personal phones are AT&T(Iphone 3GS), Touch HD and Blackberry Bold 9000.

I gave away the Bold and just told the touch and I just want one phone to RULE THEM ALL ( Sounds like Lord of the Rings ). haha

I am sure by end of the year the HD3 with Windows Mobile 7 will be another Need to have it gadget but this will suffice for now. I will buy it out right which would make it easier. If I choose to move it to Verizon I heard that is can be added to the Verizon network. I don't know if they would do it but I heard that it can be done.

Lots of great things happening with the Mobile Phone industry. Android has made it more exciting and WM 7 could be a great jolt in the market as well. WebOS now has a lot of potential and HP will do a good job with their newly acquired investment.

Slate tablets will evolve as well. I am looking forward to the Notion Ink ADAM. I like the technology and it looks very promising. More useful to me personally than an IPAD.

Hi,

I have a set of Sony earphones/headset that I used on my iPhone. It has a button and mic like the stock iPhone ones.

I have a couple of questions:

1) I have tried a 'droid' app that enable music controls from the headset button, it didn't work.

Is there anyway to disable the default option that 'doubleclick' redials the last number? (Some other music apps include this feature, but I have found them all to have problems. bTunes was close, but it crashes with 12g of music.)

2) The iPhone heaset mic works on my HTC, the Sony one doesn't. The Sony one is fine on the iPone, but the mic doesn't work on the HTC. (Although the headset icon appears)

Any help much appreciated.

There are lots of generic ones, mixed with some that says are "OEM" or "original" (how can i know?) the estrange think is that some apears to be the same, with very different prices.

his battery lasts on average 5-6 days on standby time on WM6.1 full ROM

gps | wifi | BT | 3G OFF

it is pricey though $80 something

battery does not fit with regular phone cover so a new cover is provided by mugen which has a nice glossy finish and looks quite good on the phone.

2 BAD points

no opening on back cover for GPS antenna as there is no antenna in the market to fit the raised back cover.

no camera lens cover, just a cut hole in the plastic with a silver-colored plastic covering.

i protect my camera lens using a single layer of clear cellotape, pictures come out quite decent.

[Desire General] roakes:
Hey all,

Just received my Desire and loving it. My only issue so far is that even though I've selected in the People app only to display Google contacts there seems to still be Facebook contacts appearing, albeit only the ones who have entered phone numbers into their Facebook profile.

This causes duplicate entries for the same person in messaging apps (default and Handcent) and in the People app it seems to prefer to show the Facebook contact details rather than the Google ones.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Russ
[Desire General] callummc:
I have exactly the same problem
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
are those the contacts that are LINKED to facebook contacts, but not actually facebook contacts?

oh, and you will get du0plicates appearing in third party apps. all that unticking them in people does is hide them in that app. the rest can still see them.
[Desire General] roakes:
Yes, the linking has happened automatically, unfortunately it doesn't stop the contact showing up twice. For example, I have a friend Hailei, she has an entry in my google contacts with her phone number, this contact is linked to her facebook profile on which she has a fake contact number.

If I create an SMS and type in Hailei as the recipient I get presented with both the real number and her fake facebook number and there's no way to stop this happening. This happens with the standard Messaging app or with Handcent.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
in the sms you will get that, yes.

like i said, just because you have hidden the facebook contacts in people, it does NOT hide them in any other application, as they are still downloaded to the phone.

the only way to get rid of the duplicates is to sing out of facebook for HTC sense. not ideal, but hopefuuly it'll get fixed later as it's not an ideal way for it to work.
[Desire General] lumpaywk:
this is far from ideal esp if numbers match sat tmobiles ie every time they send me a text it date it'd from a contact and my fiancee is then why they sending you texts and I have to show her to prove it. we need to pressure HTC on this to get a fix or at least the ability to delete them from the phones address book. also a side question if anyone knows a way to link the phone button to the people app so o get that come up instead it would be great ie remaping it or something

[Desire General] jock23:
It would be nice if you could import the facebook contacts one at a time into your phonebook, not just as a whole.

I was lucky and found out the whole facebook thing as soon as I started my phone, managed to delete my whole contacts, uncheck the facebook contact sync and start again. No more pointless numbers from people I would never want to phone anymore, but means I can't get pictures up for my contacts.
[Desire General] roakes:
Handcent SMS now has an option to hide social network contacts, although I don't actually have access to that option, it's in the release notes for the latest version which I have but the option in Settings doesn't appear, I'm not alone on this so must be a bug, hopefully quickly fixed and that puts an end to my problems!
[Desire General] octop8:
Syncing Facebook contacts into phonebook is actually a Sense function, i.e. part of the HTC's "People" program.
[Desire General] [jon]:
Yeah, agreed: this is an annoying issue... Just because I want to get Facebook photos for my contacts and their status update does not mean I want ALL their details of EVERY Facebook friend being stored on my phone as a contact.

Even more problematic is how Sense handles phone numbers... It will pull phone numbers from Facebook and (seemingly randomly) may overwrite your setting for their phone number.

Example:

For contact "Bob", you set his phone number as +447900000, however, Bob has his Facebook phone number set as 447900000 (notice how the + is missing, because Bob doesn't know that you need the + there and anyway, who cares, it's only Facebook!)

Well, when Sense syncs the phone numbers, it may very well overwrite Bob's correct phone number (with the + prefix) with his Facebook phone number (which you will be unable to successfully dial)... and there is no way to turn this off without disabling the whole Facebook syncing functionality...

Very annoying!
[Desire General] BulMaster:
Yup couldn't agree more. I did a reset like 5 mins after starting the phone, just because I didn't want to see the facebook armada on the list. While yes I did aggree to friend requests from my students ... I don't want to have all 200 of them as contacts in the phone prog ...:cool:
[Desire General] callummc:
yes this is a massive problem for me. is there any solution?
[Desire General] [jon]:
OK so this is what I did, but I have no idea whether it will work for you. I had a specific contact who I simply couldn't dial so I tried to find a solution.

NOTE: This does NOT solve the problem for all contacts, but read on and it may help...

First thing I did was go into my Google Contacts on my computer and deleted all the Facebook metadata in the "notes" section for each contact (as this was already pulled over from my HTC Hero tagging, and it seemed to have a different format.) << so if you are migrating from an older HTC Sense handset, then this may help you but WARNING: this will take a long time to do for each contact, and you will then need to re-associate every contact.

Next thing was to delete all the contact info off my device which you can do by going to Manage Applications > Contacts Storage and delete all the stored info.

Now go to sync settings and hit "Sync All" (or whatever it's called), or just wait and your phone will automatically re-download all of your contacts.

Now... some contacts will automatically get linked to their respective Facebook accounts and some will need to be set manually (I have no idea why they can't ALL be linked automatically, it seems kind of random...)

Anyway, what I have now found is that:

- Any contacts who were linked automatically: my settings override the Facebook settings

- Any contacts who were linked manually: Facebook settings override my settings

Either way, this is incredibly annoying and I think that HTC really do need to provide 2 extra options:

1. To not download ALL Facebook contacts, only to fetch additional attributes for existing contacts

and:

2. To give us greater control over what these attributes are (i.e. I do NOT want all of my contacts random/invalid phone numbers being imported to my device and cluttering everything up, just because I want their image & wall updates...)
[Desire General] tembares:
I think you have to LINK the person.

I had the same, but when I LINKED the two 'names', it became one. I could choose which name I wanted to use, the Facebook name or the Google entry name.

You told in a previous post that the LINK was automatically done. This is not true. It only suggests, but you have to confirm by clicking the broken chain behind the name. Then it becomes a chain and the two entries becomes one.

I hoped this helps ya all.
[Desire General] roakes:
I realised mine wasn't automatic, it was just already linked from when I had my Hero, I forgot it stores the link on your google contacts
[Desire General] simonovicc:
Workaround:

Not ideal but fixes problematic phonnumber

When you have linked your gmail contact with fb account

Edit your gmail account and add any number as that persons phone.

Now you should see 2 numbers from that person.

Chosse that fake number as primary number.

Now edit gmail contact again and edit fake number with real one.

It will override fb number if it is in wrong format

Not ideal but at least you have proper number for that person
[Desire General] spitjo:
Using Sense 2.0 here.

Apart from the sms number suggestion thing (i can live with it, but is annoying...)

The real problem is that every facebook contact that has a phone number is synced without the + in the area code. This makes all contacts undialable!!! I checked that on facebook via browser the numbers are correct (they are without area code)!

We really need a solution for this problem, a solution that isn't disable facebook people sync (i want to keep photos etc.)
