how about the fees for using the phone? airtime etc?

I am sure they will charge you that.

I got 2 evos and one of them is shutting down every time it wants to.

I went back to the store the next day to complain and I got the ** use the insurance** reply... no exchange, I can either return it or us the insurance.

I contacted one of the CEOS and I gotten some emails from him and some associate of his that got me nowhere, 30 mins on the phone to have him tell me what the moron told me at the sprint sore.

I love the phones, but I will probably go back to att

just went through sprint chat and had the rep credit my account for the prorated charges;

i order my phones on june 9th and received them on june 12th, but was charged from june 10-12 (even though the phones weren't activated); so the rep credited my account (will show up on the next bill)
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
I have 10 lines with Sprint. Including 2 Evos, 2 Touch Pros and 2 Heros. Others are regular phones. And it started off with 410 bucks. I have the 3000 plan and the 1500 plan. And after the worst service that I have received from Sprint and my 25% discount from work it came down to 185. I'm still laughing. I just can't believe this. We are even going on a trip from all the money we are saving.
[EVO 4G General] bwstonemd84:
I called the sprint line to cancel phones and let them know that I just ported my number over and I was suppose to have my activation fee waived. I was told that it would immediately be taken care of. My first bill was 110.85. They credited my back $42 for the activation fee plus the taxes associated with the activation fee. Conversation lasted 2 minutes. I also have a 20% discount with my employer. It's very easy and painless.

I'm currently reading on becoming an Android developer. But I've caught an interest in hacking Android phones. My biggest question is how do you learn how to root Android phones??????? I hope someone will be nice enough and point me in a good direction. My current Android device is an CDMA HTC Hero and saw reports of 2.2 being ported on it but everything is not working. I figure this could be my first project Finishing the 2.2 on the Hero but how do I do that. So if any one can PLEASE help.:confused:

Android is based on the Linux platform. I would imagine that most of the people that are doing the heavy work on android know quite a bit about Linux, as it pertains alot to these devices.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JoelOFH:
You should learn C and C++. Also, you should read up on the Linux Kernel and all you can about Android's framework. I don't know specifically about the Hero, but it's probably not all working due to driver issues.

This is a HUGE undertaking to a new coder.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PsyCl0ne:
Could you please rephrase your question about android hacking please? Like do you mean you wish to be able to come up with your own exploits and find your own ways to root a phone, or do you mean something along the lines of using current exploits and developing your own roms and such?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] conte79:
Hi all,

I know this thread is quite old but I wanted to have some info about the rooting topic.

My question is about the general development necessary to root a phone, sdks and tools needed.

I know already a bit of Linux and C, C++ but I don't know how the rooting work exactly. It seemed to me it is a program that runs when connected to the phone in the boot loader menu.

I think it would be useful a guide made by using an example, like the code used to root the Nexus 1 (I own one so I could put that in practice)

Thanks

now I'm tired , after weeks of searching for a Rom that is fast and nice look for my JASJAM ,, every rom i download MUST have something wrong or to be deadly slow on my phone .

so, If any one have a link that goes to the right rom that I want , plz share it .. and I will donate
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jardan:
there is no such a thing. the rom that works great for me, might have something wrong for you. it is a matter of taste. I like Tai's new rom, it is very fast and stable but I hate the icons he is using, they make have a headache. I like Que's new rom but it is not as fast as Tai's but it is more stable, in my opinion at least.

So the only real answer is try as many as you can and use the one you like more.

Hi,

When I use the HD2's builtin FM player I only get noise.

It can't find any radio stations, also doesn't play them if I manually select a correct frequency (101.0FM or 98.7FM or 87.6FM, Netherlands)

What should I do?
[HD2 General] nobnut:
Do nothing. The radio on an HD2 is about as useful as a kick in the goolies.

There is a registry tweak to alter the sensitivity, but this will just waste 2 minutes of your life as it makes no difference at all to the reception quality.

The HD2 is great but its radio sucks balls.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Couldnt have put it better......

Some have said that a different radio will make a difference.......
[HD2 General] nobnut:
In fact, if your HD2 does have a functioning radio, it is a faulty unit and should be returned for repair back to its normal state (static across all frequencies).
[HD2 General] gstew:
Can you point me to this tweak? I've got 2 minutes to waste!

Has worked for me on all roms and radios ive used...

Bought my hd2 ~6 months or so ago, that 'UK' version (trough the internets), using it in the netherlands, had several official and several custom roms, several radios, and the radio has always worked a-ok?.. :D

Just to be certain of my reply i tested just now, it works, im located near amsterdam (~15km) if that matters.

Maybe 'you all' actually got faulty radio antennas or something??
[HD2 General] nobnut:
Excellent, I will move to Amsterdam straight away!

I want to listen to my HD2 radio.

I highly recommend Mr Banana that you take your HD2 straight to an authorised stockist who will be happy to 'repair' your radio back to its natural state - broken.
[HD2 General] suicidal.banana:
lol nah thx.

Besides, seeing how i was to jumpy to wait on a dutch release, ive got no warranty whatsoever :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] nobnut:
Warranties are vastly over-rated. I believe them to be a trick employed by secret Government departments to control citizens' movements. Some people even believe that warranties were used during the Gulf War by Saddam Hussein as a chemical weapon against the Kurds.

I have no evidence of this but I too have no warranty cover for my HD2 due to my propensity to flash ROMs in an inappropriate manner.
[HD2 General] Thundahawk:
I tried flashing some different radio's but still couldnt get it to work.

I made a video for you guys so you can see exactly whats going on.

At the end of the video is full specs of the device including what software versions + radio. Volume is very low, if you turn up the volume you can hear the "gggggg" noise when the radio is supposed to play.

The reason I want my FM radio to work is to be prepared when TMC/RDS becomes avaiable so it can communicate with iGO:)

Hope it helps!

[HD2 General] Thundahawk:
Fixed sorry.
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
solution should be simple.

My HD2 warns me that FM radio only works with headphones plugged in, since it functions as the antenna.

I can see you do not have the headphones plugged in, hence, the static.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Trust me, even with head phones plugged in...................

[About XDA developers] steviewevie:
The font/size displaying (in Firefox) is different for a post that quotes another post, than for a post with no quoting. There's something odd going on there, because quoted posts use the same font/size as a regular post (used to be in italics in the old style). When you quote a post the quote is in the normal sort of font, but then your own reply is smaller, which looks strange.

Edit - just checked, and there's the same "issue" using IE 8 and Chrome.

sorry fore my English!
[About XDA developers] ben_duder:
Do you mean when quoting posts (like this)?

I can't say it really bothers me... Maybe my screen contrast is higher than yours?

I would like to see some differentiation in colour between stickied and non-stickied threads, though.

Edit: And I know these aren't really bugs, but the 'poll' icon needs updating/enlarging to match the others :p

Another thing I found, and it's probably vBulletin rather than the redesign, but if you enable pop-ups for PMs and click to open them in a new window, nothing happens in Chrome.
[About XDA developers] af974:
Nice work,indeed , i really like the new style:)

[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
This seems to be working worse than before. Although svetius has asked not to report issues with it, so I guess they already know about it.

1. The colours seem fine all on 3 screens I've tested on. Maybe a screen shot of the exact bit that you are having the problem with.

2. A new poll icon is probably needed.

3. I think this is a Chrome thing, did it work in the old design in Chrome?

Unread are emboldened and read are not. Just like with the old theme. Forums with unread posts have a Dark > icon, where as read ones have a White > icon.

I use the full style and can ignore it. Although I don't look at the index for very long. I jump forums using the "find your device" now that it's on every page.
[About XDA developers] af974:
Sorry i didnt notice that icons..thanks for clarification Dave.
[About XDA developers] mnjm9b:
I also am finding little to no difference between the quoted parts of messages.

it is probably a contrast issue.

on my laptop with nvidia gts 360M, If i crank all the settings down, I can finally see a color difference between the quoted text. (but then my entire system looks horrible)

my 19" acer lcd on PC with generic intel graphics also looks the same. (bad)

I am using firefox 3.6.3 on Ubuntu for both laptop and computer.

although I have contrast issues with Yahoo mail as well

so I am sure it is my setup.
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Looks like there might be some merit in changing the BG colour of the quoted text.

IIRC, the original BG colour was too light and blinding the private beta testers. So the admin's made it darker, I'm guessing that the Quoted BG colour wasn't darkened, leading to the lack of contrast between the two.

Dave
[About XDA developers] mnjm9b:
aside from the contrast issue,

I love the new design.

Infact I have been using it for a few days now.

I didn't even know it was NEW. I just found it and thought....How did I miss this cool feature....LOL
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
It was meant to be hidden :o.

Dave
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Agreed. I am using a calibrated panel here, and there is minimal difference between the quoted and normal text colour.

Also, a subjective one, as I really like the theme otherwise, but it seems to be a bit 'plain'. I actually find myself losing attention to threads and doing other stuff with this theme a bit more than before.

I guess I amn't finding it as readable as before, but I can't quantify it really.

Also, is there a possibility of taking the final theme, and cloning it, but popping a 320px width restriction on it, making a mobile version? That would be a nice thing, although the pages take a bit longer than before to render on webkit 3.1 browser.

[About XDA developers] steviewevie:
I have the same contrast issue. There really is very little difference on my own screen between the background of the quoted text and the other text.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Impulses:
What's the difference between nandroid and something like Titanium? From what I've been able to gather nandroid just creates a full system backup (sort of like a partition image on a PC?) whereas Titanium can actually backup all your apps, their data, and even your settings (which is pretty much impossible to do on a Win PC w/o backing up the entire OS/partition). Am I right or am I working off outdated info?

I've yet to decide whether I'm gonna root or not, been trying to figure it out today... The most prominent reasons I can see to do it are the free WiFi tether and having the ability to create/restore these kinds of backups w/ease (possibly worth more than WiFi tether to me, since I could just use PDANet otherwise).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djR3Z:
nandroid backups are complete images of your entire setup. ROM and everything(apps, settings, etc.). Titanium backup will backup everything EXCEPT the rom, that is all settings, all apps and their settings.

I use a combination of both. I make nandroid backups of whole setups that I have just to my liking so that I can restore them if need be. I make titanium backups of everything so I can switch ROMs and still restore everything to my liking.

In the end, Titanium Backup is probably what you're looking for.

I know, this is just extremely stupid of me to drop a $550 phone in water. Happened 12 hours ago.

I removed battery right away. The screen was on when I removed the phone from the glass, pretty much right away.

Left the phone overnight in the rice bucket. Then turned it on in the morning.

The phone powers up and everything, so far seems to work, including the speaker and ear piece (thats the side that dropped in water).

Make phone call, I can hear and other person can hear. Wifi seems to work. Screen scrolling and such works.

Only thing I am noticing right now is that the Lock Button seems to have itr own brain. It autopresses and "the power off" screen keeps coming on by itself. Also, pressing the Lock Button does not lock the phone anymore. All it does is brings me to the Power Off screen.

Any help? Should I just remove the battery and leave it in the rice bucket for maybe a few more days?

Thanks.
