[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonesdana:
"N" doesn't increase range. The benefits of 802.11N increase speed and throughput, not range. The better the radio/power and antenna = better range, but 802.11n is still based off the same frequencies as the a/b/g radios. Also... "loud" radios just overpower quieter radio's in client devices and cause extra noise and dirty air. Most homes should be sufficient with a single consumer grade AP. If your living in a mansion or want to cover acres of property, then go with a commercial grade solution like Cisco.

I also agree with the earlier post of why is "n" needed on a cell device anyway. 30fps live video only consumes a max of 4Mbps. Standard WiFi will hand it just fine without breaking a sweat.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dorick:
that's wrong, because 802.11N on mixed mode (N/G) runs at a significantly reduced rate for all devices, even the G devices. (about half of a normal 802.11g speed) for EVERYONE. So that means that your expensive 802.11 N router is now worse than a 802.11g router and you're better off switching it to pure 802.11g mode. which makes the whole point of having one completely moot. So yes, it is needed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Wireless N routers have more radios that help with range. B & G routers don't have as many radios.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydm:
Wireless n does increase speed if properly configure and range as well ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonesdana:
Your right... more radios, beam forming technologies, etc... all of which can be leveraged by native "g" devices. The ONLY thing you get by having the "n" client is MIMO. I never said that a "n" router wasn't better. Just saying that it is not needed on the EVO. Consumer grade routers are cheap!!!! If you so concerned with it bringing down the capability of your WLAN, spend the extra money for a commercial grade product that does not deteriorate your "n" performance or buy a cheap "n" and a cheap "g" router and associate your EVO and other legacy gear to that.

Seriously, you all are making it sound likes dooms day if a "g" device hits your WLAN. Do you make your guests have "n" devices before they can connect to your network?

Besides, will your really have your EVO with WiFi on constantly? You planning on recharging every 3 or 4 hours?

Again, unless you really know what your talking about... you shouldn't make claims about "n" clients working at further distances. A "n" client cannot get further distances than a "g" client. The benefit in the technology is the beam-forming which is done with many manufactures in the AP, and has nothing to do with the client. However, 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz spectrum is the same and does not magically change with "n". Still the same frequencies!!!! The only benefit you would get with the EVO being "n" is that it would get better performance using the multiple radios. Again, I just don't see an application that requires it. Unless of course your are opening 2GB AutoCad files on your EVO. Not needed for music, video, or any other multi-media that i can think of.

I agree "n" is better, I am not saying that it isn't... I am just making the point that it has NOTHING to do with the coverage area. A "n" radio WILL reach further than a "g" radio due to beam forming, but it will get the same distance whether the "client" is "g" or "n". That's all I am saying. Getting back to the EVO needing "n"... I just don't see why it is needed. Yes their are some concessions to the network that it is attached to, but depending on Wireless design or product... most of those issues can be removed or avoided.

Why? This does everything we need! I've been using it for a few weeks and have hardly plugged a cable into my HD2 (except for debugging).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faron.hadfield-jones:
I agree Mesh works okay. The concept is excellent and it gives you 5gb. The problem I have is the mobile app. Its not very finger friendly compared to this one. Mesh did not like my Touch HD. On my HD2 it works better but still has problems starting up sometimes and just closing down at random.

seems that whenever i insert my sim card my phone gets crazy, restarts all the time on its own, white screen/flashes/lines but if i start it with out the sim card it runs properly. i ran it without a sim for over 3 hours and it was working fine. anyone got an idea about this?

thanks in advance.

Ya, they stole it right off the trunk of my car as I was under it working on the fuel pump. I guess I won't be testing the latest android build anymore. I'm glad I had an unstable NAND os on it with some 'test' battery parameters. BAHAHAHA.

-Maybe I'll go get a motorola V551. Those things work perfectly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
sad but hang around in the forums and someone will eventually come asking about battery issues and unstable android. :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I do that too when I'm working on my car. I leave my phone on top of my car, hoping nobody will take it while I'm underneath. Guess I won't be doing that anymore.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] twinklesam123:
good luck thief!

I think the theif would freak out when he switches on the phone...i hope your android build will suddenly crash and the thief would freak out!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thebulletfromhell:
Yeah. Hopefully he's running one of those unstable SQSH Build. I find them crashing once every 5 minutes.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
this is terriable, what a nightmare, you know I just can't get over how 'evil' people can be, I mean off your car, it wasn't like you left it on a bus or in a bar was it? geez. I'd be lost without my phone! Also check ebay for a phone being sold as Spare / Repairs due to a unstable OS :) Also report to police. Good luck, hope you get it back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] carcomp:
HAHA! Get this guys, my boss had given me an old BlackBerry Curve for shiggles since he bought an iphone. Well, I was craigslisting and found someone with a tilt who wanted to trade for a blackberry or iphone.

My new phone is equal in quality to my old phone. Theres a ding on the screen and the battery cover looks like someone bent it once, but the keys aren't all worn out and the it actually has a GPS cover. The only thing keeping me from androiding is not having a sdcard.

WIN. ANDROID TIME.

I'm trying to create a bootanimation.zip for VanillaEclair but I just can't seem to be able to make it work.

All it does is show a black screen.

[Nexus One General] mikeybags:
I installed froyo on my nexus yesterday. I had some issues with the install, mainly with my SD card not being recognized, and instead of just pulling it and reinstalling, I reverted to my nandroid backup. Anyway, to make a long story short, I wiped and installed 2.2.

First thing I did after that was try to download flash. Market wouldn't allow the download, saying "not enough space". I then proceeded to restore my backup from titanium, which oddly enough worked fine. There were a couple of apps I didn't back up, hancent being one, and I went to market to install, and got the same message. I cleared the market's app data, but no change in result. I then deleted some apps, but this also didn't help.

Where am I going wrong?

On a side note, I figured installing to SD would fix this, but can't find the option!

Hope your phone is still under warranty, if not you're going to have to pony up cash to SE to fix it or you can try to fix it yourself.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjRubenstein:
Someone was telling me that when you take a ROM from a GSM phone (such as Froyo 2.2 from the N1) and port it over to a CDMA device (such as the EVO), the battery life will be terrible.

He says this is because the build is tweaked for GSM and although it will work on a CDMA phone (since Android supports it), it will still actively look for a GSM signal, causing major battery drain. He says that his unlocked GSM Hero has this problem because he has a ROM that was ported over from a CDMA Hero.

Does this make any sense? And if so, will waiting for the official AOSP 2.2 help the situation?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjRubenstein:
Not a single person can answer my question? Sheesh... :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keishou:
A CDMA radio will need to subsitute the GSM radio in the ROM, otherwise the device would just be useless.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
we run into this on the sprint hero porting CM roms from the n1

there is a app in the market called "network" you just download that hit menu, select radio band (then android phone fc's) scroll down to set preferred network type, choose CDMA auto (PRL) and your set.

this must be done at every boot.

one way you can check is settings>about phone>battery use>cell standby if this shows Time without signal 50% then you have that bug.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjRubenstein:
Awesome. Thanks for the info ;)
[Hero CDMA General] mjb5406:
I guess this is kind of a question for the XDA community at large, since you are considered the "rooting gods" by us mere mortals. That being said... I've had enough experience over the years and I've rooted both WinMo and Android phones, including my Hero (running ic3 right now). What bothers me is the push by some people (on other forums, like the Sprint fan page on Facebook) for anyone and everyone to root their phone because "it's like jailbreaking an iPhone" (which is nonsense, since most people jailbreak iPhones to install apps that Apple refuses to put in the App Store) or "because the carriers don't want you to have access to all your phone's features" (more nonsense). Anyone technical enough knows that rooting is like giving someone permanent root access on a Linux or UNIX system, with the risk of doing serious damage if you don't know what you're doing. So, looking for an opinion here, is it wise for "Joe (or Jill) Average User" to attempt to root their phone?

And, as a second question, once rooted, it's always been my assumption that warranties are voided, you lose Total Equipment Protection, etc., but some (supposedly smart and informed people) say that they are not. Opinions again, please?
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
I think only people who are comfortable rooting should root.

The warranty is null and void if you root the phone.
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Is it wise? That depends on the user deciding if he/she should root. Should they be given the same opportunity as someone that's more tech savvy than the average user? Sure, why not. Android encourages users to fully customize there devices, if that means getting one's hand dirty to get the most of your phone, then give it go. However, if the end user is afraid about "bricking" or "voiding" there warranty; then it's probably best they stick with the factory defaults.

At the end of the day; it's the user's choice. Rooting of course allows one to get the maximum potential out of the phone, non-rooting allows for a decent experience. However, it's quite obvious that once someone see's the many wonderful things that comes with rooting; they too are often enticed and decide to take the plunge. Which, ultimately is a good thing; they're able to join a community like XDA, learn new things about there device and about computers/hacking that they thought they never could, and of course, they now get to enjoy the benefits of rooting.

The thing is, even Sprint employees root there phones, so at the end of the day, its comes down to the sales/tech person at your local Sprint store. People on here have said that if your phone is broken and you take it in to get it serviced without flashing the Sprint RUU that Sprint will say you've voided your warranty because they can't work with the "modified" phone (e.g. rooted, etc).

However, this is relative from person to person and from store to store. Like I said, pending on the Sprint rep/tech -- they can choose to service your "modified" phone or tell you that you've voided your warranty and that they won't help you. Of course; to remedy this, you just need to go home; flash the latest Sprint RUU and go back to the store -- then they can't complain.

So, if you're worried about voiding your warrenty or that Sprint will freak out, flash the latest RUU before going into your local Sprint store... if you have a good rapport with your Sprint reps/techs, it shouldn't matter if you're phones rooted or not though.
[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
You cannot compare the iphone to the android on a operating system level because android is free under the GPL and by "rooting" the operating system only means that you enabled an option that was otherwise disabled by the source for the end users protection, not because its in any violation of laws like the Iphone.

Rooting the device only opens opportunities for more options on a less limited field rather than being on a more limited field with little options. The iphone is basically like a "Nascar Vehichle" its tagged and ridiculed with many logos and flare, It's commercialized in such a way that not only does jail braking and unlocking violate the companies terms of use but other companies that own the hardware inside the device. My speculation on the sprint fan club is this...

There are three people in the tech field. People who use their equipment,p eople who play with it and people who do both. I do both.. which one are you?
[Hero CDMA General] mjb5406:
No question... I do both. But, then again, I've been doing this for years. My issue is that it seems like there are two groups of "rooters": Those that do it and understand what they are doing and the risks that are involved and those that do it, tell other people to do it, and really don't understand the ramifications other than to say it's "cool". There has even been a request for someone to post rooting FAQ on the official Sprint page on Facebook (which is very stupid) and lots of talk about people want to root because they want "free tethering" (also very stupid); to talk about this on a Sprint-monitored forum is not a good idea, IMHO, and to tell people to root their phones when all they get is "What's rooting?" as a reply tells me that those people should probably be content just using their phones and, if they run into problems, go to Sprint for assistance. It's usually easy to tell who has a more technical understanding of the phone just by the content of their posts.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
This is completely true. There are a LOT of people on here who do things without reading or thinking. I think it was when the Hero dropped in price. Everyone bought it, they started googling it, they found XDA, and started posting left and right. I got my Hero the day it came out, but I didn't root it until January 2010. I was a little hesitant and scared, but I did it.... and I'm glad I did.

Ok since I upgraded to the 2.1 myphone has been having major problems almost to the point where I cant use it anymore. I have done a factory reset 3 times and still hasnt fixed the problems. I did do the upgrade over the air, what I need to know is, is there anyway I can downgrade back to the 1.5 or manually re upload the 2.1 version to see if it fixes my problems. Thank you.

what is exactly wrong with your phone that is making it unusable?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
There is no current way to downgrade 2.1 to 1.5, even with OTA update, unless you would like to flash the root image, then downgrade back to regular 1.5... Also we may be able to better assist you if you explain the issues you are having with your phone a little better.

The issues I am having are text app force closes all the time, mostly when the phone itself is charging. I dont receive texts a lot, I have to *228 frequently through out the day. When I am at the homescreen the pages will slide all the way to the left and stay there the only way I can get back to anywhere is to either do a soft reset or long press the home key to go to another app. The biggest problem though is the texting and like i said it mostly just happens when the phone is charging. But the keyboard will seriously lag, force close...the cursor jumps to the begining of whatever i am saying or just randomly go to the left and mix all my words up.

It sounds to me like there was some corruption with your OTA update. I would venture to say that you have two options here:
