From my experience Android actually uses GPS really well and it only turns on when you really need it, I've never noticed a huge increase or decrease by turning it on or off.

Hi guys,

Is it normal to have my phone sleep overnight for 7 hrs and have a MAPS wakelock of 2 hrs every single day? I'm running 5.0.7.1. I have very poor battery performance. My bat goes from 100% to 75% with everything off, wifi, 3g, screen, in 7 hrs. Thanks for your help.

Is there an app where I can use my phone like a remote control similar to a harmony? If not, what are the prospects of developing one? That would be pretty cool if you could make this thing an all in one, and with its bluetooth capabilities, run the PS3 as well. Anyone interested in giving it a go?
[EVO 4G General] erikivy:
Aren't most remotes IR? I may have missed it, but I don't think the EVO has an IR emitter. I suppose you could make a device that plugs into the headphone jack (or one of the other jacks) and come up with something that way, but then you'd need to keep track of a separate piece.
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
The only way you can do this is with a hardware update. And an application, but that will take some development.

Checkout the Logitech Revue. Google TV, access to your network content, harmony remote control functionality for IR devices, etc. Logitech PS3 adapter may complete the picture.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeavery2:
Composite out from the HDMI? I guess, but the hardware is there fro HDMI. Sprint wrote their own API for it So I am guessing that Tweeking it a bit will allow for full screen display.

The Desire already does Composite output and it is full display. I don't get the DRM issue, because who cares if the home screen displays on the HDMI and the videos are pushed out the HDMI so where is the issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theillustratedlife:

I already tried that, by directly copying the framebuffer for the LCD to the HDMI framebuffer. It didn't work. It steals the frames from the display, but it refuses to output it over HDMI, probably because the HDCP (right term for HDMI DRM?) handshake hasn't been completed.

Hello,

I've been looking into the issue with WiFi tethering and one interesting thing I've noticed is in the /etc/firmware directory there are two bcm4329.bin files.

ls -l
-rw-r--r-- root root 9220 2010-04-29 01:47 yamato_pm4.fw
-rw-r--r-- root root 173082 2010-04-29 01:47 Supersonic_20100204_Sprint_Jack_324016_v2.acdb

-rw-r--r-- root root 15336 2010-04-29 01:47 BCM4329B1_002.002.023.0360.0361.hcd
-rw-r--r-- root root 137911 2010-04-29 01:47 MFG.acdb
-rw-r--r-- root root 241820 2010-04-29 01:47 fw_bcm4329.bin
-rw-r--r-- root root 239616 2010-04-29 01:47 fw_bcm4329_ap.bin
-rw-r--r-- root root 1156 2010-04-29 01:47 yamato_pfp.fw

One is suffixed with _ap. This to me stands for access point.

I don't know that much about how these firmware files work, but the fact there is two of them makes me suspicious.

Sprint's built in tethering app has no problem with the wireless interface, but the free ones do. What could be the solution?

I'm with you on this one. Having the keyboard disappear is annoying. There is no reason for it not to stay on the screen. It only adds an extra tap for no reason.

[EVO 4G General] nihilion_Zero:
I struggled long and hard with the decision to purchase the EVO. Its competitor for my patronage was the Nexus One on T-Mobile. At last, I made my decision based upon the following criteria: 1) better hardware, 2) better network, and 3) better price. Seems a no brainer, right?

Now that what's done is done, I'm left with a sense of remorse. Over what? Openness. Fortunately, I haven't bricked my Evo yet, but there is a very real possibility that I will at some point. With no open boot loader and a carrier hellbent on closing their system, I have to break into my own phone with a bunch of borrowed hacks, the mechanics of which are about 3 miles over my head.

What was Google really trying to do? By cutting out the carrier from distribution, the carriers don't have an opportunity to bake the system with their garbageware and close the door behind them. By failing to support Google's effort, each of us makes it less likely in some small amount that Google will do this again. We sold them out for a front-facing camera and a bit more screen (with light leak).

Then there we will be on the forums complaining about those evil, freedom-hating carriers. But then, perhaps we chose this and deserve our fates.

[EVO 4G General] Derbyman32:
Just my two cents, I have only had one android phone and that was the mytouch from t-mobile. I now have the HTC - HD2 and really like it. When it comes to flashing roms, especially for someone new to winmo like me, it can be a bit scary. The developers have a HSPL flash that takes away almost all the risks as long as you use common sense and read things carefully. With that said I did see where a Chef of the HD2 bricked his phone just a few days ago (I have no idea what he was attempting to do when he bricked it but it did make me realize the danger)

Thanks

Yes, if the remorse is really that bad, take it back. Sprint will refund ALL of your money. Then get the Nexus One for T-Mobile for $179. No-brainer...and the N1 is still an awesome Android phone!
[EVO 4G General] jmxp69:
I've seen enough issues on this forum to know that some people have no business flashing a camera, let alone a $500 phone. These are the same people that will install a GSM radio on their CDMA phone, come here and beg for a fix only to be told "sorry, read the instructions next time." They then head to Sprint, shrug, and say "I don't know, it worked fine yesterday" in the hopes of getting the phone replaced under warranty.

I agree with the premise that they are our phones and we should be able to flash whatever we want on them; however, if *I* break my phone, I do not expect Sprint to fix it. Unfortunately, common ethical behavior such as this escapes enough that Sprint made a business decision to make it hard enough so only those competent enough to follow complex procedures succeed in taking ownership of their phones. I get that. I also knew this before buying the phone.

If it's the principle of the matter for you, you can always go back to the N1, but I'd wonder why you're here in the first place.

Me? I have enough faith in this community to undo the locks, and I'll patiently enjoy the marvel of technology the EVO is while shackled until the benefits of rooting outweigh my perceived risks in performing the procedure.

Until then, I have what I consider to be the best handheld computer on the planet. Sorry for being long winded.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
I second that emotion! And it can even make the occasional phone call, too! :D
[EVO 4G General] nachyochez:
I don't think a LESS true statement could be said.

Sprint doesn't give two flying flips what you do with your device. They have never made a move to precent root access, and MANY of the same reps who sell these devices root when it becomes available. The phone comes locked because of security and licensing agreements.

An example for the Evo is QIK. QIK is not made by Sprint, HTC, or Google. It is its own entity who paid HTC and Sprint a great deal of money to bake this app into the firmware. It would be a violation of that agreement to allow you to remove this app by default, therefore Root access is removed.

Android, when rooted, has so many holes in the security that information on the phone (like your contact list!) would in no way be considered safe. Sprint has to make some guarantee for that information, so those holes are filled and Root accessis denied.

However, should you be one of those FEW people competent enough to handle this kind of power, and you understand that Sprint, HTC, and Google will honor to warranty for the device should you break it then go for it. None of these companies will make even a token effort to stop you.

You are, for all intents and purposes, ignored. Software updates will be made as though Root did not exist. Known issues and fixes will be sent to employees and techs as though you did not exist. Features will be advertised as stock that you might no longer have, because you no longer exist.

It's not that the "carrier is bent on closing the system" it's that they are bound be several contracts to not help you.

im not sure if this answers your question but in order to install apps2sd the app must be written in the new 2.2 sdk. Many are already written in that and most others are updrading to 2.2.

The easiest way is to use a cab file! It will overwrite and it give you the possibility to uninstall so you get back to the original one!

The file explorer which is on your device will not overwrite protected files.

But, search for "Total Commander" for Windows Mobile - it´s not the "freshest" software, but free, and it *does* overwrite protected files.

To make it more finger friendly, just change to large icons view!

Or, after all, as the previous poster mentioned, use cab files - those will automatically install and overwrite files.
