Much easier to throw this all in one spot than to try to compile all the various threads. New info as of 5/27/10!

-Preorders are no longer being taken at Radioshack due to inventory constraints. IE: demand was starting to exceed quantity :P

-The occasional store (non-mall stores) is opening at 6am; check your local area to find out which are opening early and at what times.

-Activation will most likely not be a simple in-out process. Expect to be in the store roughly 30 minutes.

-Don't forget the phone requires a Data plan and a $10 Premium Data service in order to be activated! Sprint's Hotspot add-on is discounted to $29.99 as well.

-Most stores should have the device in-store in advance of the release date, so our worries about stock are allieved. Even if a store is out of stock, we will most likely not be able to call another store and have a phone placed on hold due to demand, BUT it may be able to be Direct2U'd, which is a method of ordering.

-Accessories at launch will be limited to chargers (generic and iGo), screen protectors, and some locations will have Zagg's Screen Protector (not full body). Evo-specific accessories will be available throughout the month of June.

-Pre-order customers will be offered 15% off accessories from 6am to whenever the store would normally open (usually 9am), and everyone else will be offered 10% from 9am through normal business hours. This stacks with the $20 credit (though neither are available on the phone itself, even though the credit can be used on anything else in the store) and is only available through close-of-business June 4th.

-Radioshack Service Plans on the HTC Evo will be lowered from $124.99 to 99.99 through June 6th, and covers everything it always has, namely:

+Wear and Tear

+Light Corrosion

+Speaker Damage

+Screen Outages

+Dead Pixels

+Battery Replacement once per year (excellent value)

+In-Store Replacement of up to four same-ticket accessories

Just keep in mind this is a warranty, not insurance. As such, it does not cover lost, stolen, broken, or water damage claims.

Luckily, none of this is classified information, so I can share it freely with all of you :D Ask any question you feel necessary, and I'll keep this updated if anything changes~
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I also wouldn't be surprised if Sprint has server issues as well (on launch day/morning), just to really slow things down. It will make it more,.... lets just say memorable.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
I could see that... I don't think it'd be as bad as AT&T with the iPhone, though. It might be down for just the one day, if at all. Cross your fingers XD
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
is best buy still taking pre-orders?
[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Wow.. im glad i pre-order mines yesterday.. because i was going to wait to today.

EDIT: Sorry i was wrong.. the $50 dollas go towards your phone when it gets release
[EVO 4G General] drewX2:
Its a $20 accessory credit they give you at time of purchase (evo pickup) and the gift card is used towards the EVO 4G Purchase price (because you paid $50 for it).
[EVO 4G General] Hero's Hero:
Pretty sure
[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Oh i see now. i thought they give you the giftcard before.
[EVO 4G General] skunkape:
im pretty sure they are...however for the 2nd shipment of phones now..which would come in on june 9th i think
[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
No sir, I believe they took your 50 dollars as a deposit on the phone and in return gave you a 50 dollar gift card. They also gave you a 20 dollar bonus towards any accessory of your choosing, but the gift card was actually the money you put towards the deposit.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
The $50 gift card is for the preorder itself. Instead of keeping your money like GameSTOP, for example, we give you a gift card so that we still have a guarantee you'll come back. Same principle, different execution. The $50 you can use toward the phone, while the $20 can only be used on accessories.
[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Everytime i had pre-order from gamestop or anything else. they always took the money and just took your name and address
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
Well, yeah. Same concept, like other people have explained while I was occupied here at work :P Only instead of keeping your money, we give it to you on a gift card. You have to spend it with Radioshack, regardless, so it works out the same :P
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I think pre-ordering is coming to a close rapidly. I would say if you haven't pre-order as of yesterday or this morning @ RS your only shot is the Sprint store if you want it on the 4th.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
If anyone else is accepting preorders, the latest it'll be is the 31st, just so they have numbers in order before they start shipping to stores. Though as I said, Radioshack CAN order the Evo if they happen to be out of stock in the store. Ask and find out~
[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
Can you tell me more about this service plan? Does it cover 1yr, 2yr, or as long as you own the handset?

Any deductible?
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
RS Service plan sucks why not just get TEP from sprint? I know its 7 bucks a month plus $100 replacement but it covers it even if its stolen. You can't beet that.
[EVO 4G General] apollooff320:
probably can sell my pre order slot to someone that's waiting outside for one.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
It covers two years (life of the contract), and all you pay is the price of the plan. No deductible or anything.

The insurance does have its place, that doesn't mean it's a bad idea. If you have a history of having phones go bad, it's a cheaper alternative. If you're worried about it being stolen or lost, or dropping it in water.... honestly you should probably get a different phone XD But really, insurance is good for those things, provided you don't mind paying $168 over the course of your plan, plus the $100 deductible.

The downside to the RS plan is that it's a send-off to repair (except for the accessory and battery replacement), so if you don't have a back-up phone, it might not be the best for you since we don't use loaners. So there you go, a direct comparison. Both are good, in different circumstances. I've seen the warranty do wonders for lots of customers, and I've seen it be worthless.
[EVO 4G General] watzone69:
I just called the RS I pre-ordered at and was told:

1. They have stopped taking pre-orders since the close of business day yesterday (May 27th). He also said that most stores were limited to 20 pre-orders.

2. They are opening at 6:00AM sharp (this is a full store, not a kiosk) and stock may be limited to 2-4 phones more than pre-ordered!

3. He was not sure about the $10 or $15 discount for accessories (DUBious, who is a Houston, TX Radio Shack employee, has reported an additional 10% off accessories for people arriving between 6-9AM).

I noticed that the tone of the employee I talked to was much more serious today than my previous calls (yes, I bug them a lot! :o ). Maybe the scope of how big this is going to be is starting to dawn on some of them now that news is coming down from corporate?
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
They might not have noticed the discounts for accessories if they don't pay extra attention to the updates, and read every single page. If it weren't probably a violation of some sort, I'd upload a scan of the memo :P Though... to clarify, you're right on the 6am-9am bit; the memo states "from 6am to normal store open hours," which is a very confusing statement :P

You'd be surprised at the variation in our employees' tones depending on things in the workplace XD Different employees sound different, maybe someone got in trouble, maybe they're busy with other customers (multi-tasking and all that), etc... It's interesting if you're the sort of person who pays attention to that sort of thing
[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
additional discount would be great! on top of the $20 coupon, and $10 online survey. We just need more selections than the usual car charger, micro usb cables, etc.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
Yeah, it sorta sucks that we won't have any of the EVO-specific items (like Micro-HDMI cables. THAT'S annoying) with all the awesome discounts... but at the same time, you'll probably need screen protectors, and a car charger is always handy. But even so, you're not limited to phone accessories with the $20 credit; you can use that on just about ANYTHING else at the store.

It's just the percentage discount you have to use on accessories :P
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
I don't even remember if I got my $20 gift card... I just remember the one. They did say something about the receipt though... perhaps it's on that? I haven't even paid attention - I put it in my desk at work because I don't want to look at it every day and keep yearning for Friday! It'll drive me nuts.

Are all stores opening early or just the larger ones that have a lot of preorders? My ****hole town only had 3 (I was the third) when I preordered on Tuesday.
[EVO 4G General] turn:
all these preorder incentives are pretty nice. sounds like this'll have a nice launch.

and i'm with all of you in that the lack of accessories with the surplus of bonuses for them is kind of a bummer.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
The $20 credit is applied on the sale ticket, so it isn't an actual gift card that you'll see physically. It's all done on the POS side of things. The receipt you got for the preorder has a PIN that's used as proof of you preordering it in the first place :P

As for which stores are going to be opening early... I assume it's going to be based on number of preorders and demand. My store only has five, so I really doubt we can justify the extra hours and labor for a measly five orders. For the most part, it's up to each individual manager. Not to mention availability of you, the customer.

The US government should have actually done things by the book and insisted on proper risk assessments rather than taking oil companies' word for it that "everything will be ok, there's no chance of a leak" and rubber stamping the paperwork to allow the drillings.
[Off-topic] HeroMeng:
That's terrible...
[Off-topic] egzthunder1:
Solution?

Large amount of C4 on the sea bed... (or at least enough to blow the hole shut)

Currently,

1. BP devising mechanisms to recover the oil rather than to stop the leak.

2. BP recovers some oil and the leak is still at large.

3. ???????????

4. Profit.
[Off-topic] orb3000:

Not using Oil never again!

Thats terrible... What if all the BP executives where those fish? Serve them right.

This mud thing they are doing now, is what they needed to do the first day, and not have waited all the way untill it was this bad. Is it really that had to buy some mud, and boat it over? Sure doesnt take a month...

You know, I think this is all BP's fault, and the US really have no responsibility for it, as some of you have said (up there somewhere) that the US needed to do it for BP? The people in office are not engineers, and Obama saying that he is working "24/7, and working as fast as they can" doesnt make sense. Really. BP needed to sweep this mess up, or the goverment(s) need to make BP do it, and not do it for them.
[Off-topic] phatmanxxl:
I have a funny feeling its been allowed to go this long so Obama can use this as a reason to push cap'n trade with a permanant ban on drilling altogether. Just a thought...well see where this all goes in a few months.

Can anyone tell me which are the files for the camera in the Base?

I found these folders in OEMDrivers:

CameraPlatform.dll

CameraSensorDrivers8650.dll1

CameraTuningServices.dll1

GSensor.dll ???

htc_camera.dll

and these files:

CameraBayerServices.dll1

CameraBayerServices.mif

CameraCoreServices8650.dll1

CameraCoreServices8650.mif

CameraEngineConfig.xml

CameraSensorDrivers8650.mif

CameraTuningServices.mif

And:

Is it possible to change these without any problems from other base?

i.e. I am on 1.72 and want only the camera base files from latest 2.13

[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
the only way to know that is to grab them all and put them into a ext pkg... that way you will not delete your base camera files... the kitchen will overwrite them by the ext ones...

btw gsensor is not for camera is that lil thingie that allows your device to go from portrait to landscape with just the gravity sense...

damn.

Hi

i have unique problem

My tattoo has got really stuck backcover and cant be removed in any case. If I try any harder either the screen will break or the cover.

So basically I can't remove sd card.

So, I have made a goldcard using diskdrive option and have rooted my tattoo so that I can install custom rom. I have done nandroid backup and can see folders and files like nandroid, boot.img, recovery.img and su on the sd card.

My worry is if I follow the flash with recovery rom or use wipe data option from recovery menu

1) will the goldcard still remain in place or will it get wiped?

2) can i use the same sd card as normal?

3) will it always remain as goldcard?
[Click General] JonasKP:
i used a goldcard and i didnt reverse it. nut untill later, but i've used it as a memorycard while goldcarded. thats all i know. basicly, all the goldcard does is allowing you to get custom recovery image

Hey! i am new here so sory for being sily or posting in wrong thread but i am realy desparate:

Are there any real good games... Like duke nukem, doom, or starcraft warcraft 2... PLz help me i hate those retarded games that are made for 11 year old punk's
[Touch2 General] yellowfever:
Great adventure games would be Monkey Island (1&2) and Indiana Jones 4. All run absolutely great using ScummVM, see here for the WindowsCE version: http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/

All you need is those old MSDOS game disks from your old times, or a dollar or two on ebay. There are some free adventure games for ScummVM as well.

Please note, though, that while these games are sometimes offered for download as "Abandonware", this is to be considered software piracy, since the companies making those games still exist. Do not support this!

Additionally, I am currently experimenting with DOSBOX on the Touch2. This here seems to be the PPC version of choice: n0p's DOS Box PPC

My old DOS version of Monkey Island 1 runs OK on this DOSBOX port, but a bit slow. I am hoping to get old classics like Battle Isle to work.

Doom should be available, just search for Doom + PPC on Google. Same goes for Wolfenstein 3D and Quake.
[Touch2 General] NejkoPejko:

[Touch2 General] yellowfever:
No idea how to play it... no WASD keys on the Touch2 ;)

I don't think OP's talking about the N1 as a portable hotspot... rather the device id/name a wireless router picks up when the N1 connects to the router...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Contivity:
I think OP is asking if it's possible to change the DHCP name of the phone
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I'd like to know how to change my phone's hostname too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
Well, there are 2 ways to change the phone hostname... but both require root...

1. init.rc way

in init.rc, look for

on boot
# basic network init
ifup lo
hostname localhost
domainname localdomain

changing hostname to you desired name will change the phone hostname. So you change would look something like this...

on boot
# basic network init
ifup lo
hostname CRAiG
domainname localdomain

But this process involves building a boot.img with the new init.rc and flashing that boot.img

2. Using an init script in a mod like CM

As in a regular linux system, the following line will allow you to change you hostname without flashing a boot.img

echo CRAiG > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname

In CM, you can add this line to an init.d script like 01sysctl or 20userinit in /system/etc/init.d

And yeah, this changes the device name on your router, but you might have to delete the existing DHCP lease...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It shows that you didn't try it. You can't put it before 04 script, since the services aren't up yet, and it won't change a thing. It has to be after 05 - that's why it's best done through 20userinit or the script that it calls.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
To clarify my question...

No, not using N1 as a hotspot, but how my wi-fi router sees my n1 while my N1 is a wi-fi client to it.

Randy
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
I did try it and I have it working with the change in 01sysctl... and you don't need services up and running to change ur hostname!!!!!

@rmagruder... what I said above with allow you to change how ur wifi router see ur n1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Hostname is for network interface. At least one (localhost) needs to be started for it to work. If there is any additional interface starting - it can change the settings during initialization, which is what's probably happening, at least on my Nexus w/ CM5.0.6. Tested with 01sysctl and it fails, as I wrote in the thread I linked above.
