:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
Not sure the best place to post this but since I'm more into development, I figure getting this information out to the community should allow us to develop a fix/patch before Sprint/HTC get around to it.

Leaked news from internal Sprint technical support regarding known issues with the EVO. Im linking to the original source of the leak for the full original information and any updates which might also be leaked.

Known issue: HTC EVO 4G - Front screen lens panel not flush near "Home" button

Known issue: HTC EVO 4G - WiFi Signal Indicator Shows Low Strength

Known issue: HTC EVO 4G - Qik Video Chat Update Available

Known issue: HTC EVO 4G - Browser could slow when using bluetooth and WiFi

Known Issues: HTC EVO 4G - Monitor doesn't support video out

Known Issues: HTC EVO 4G- Proximity sensor still active when in hands-free call

Known Issues: HTC EVO 4G - 720p Video Recording

Known Issues: HTC EVO 4G - MicroSD Card Permissions Issue

Known issue: HTC EVO 4G - Google Search Bar Widget Displaying Incorrectly
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soupskin:
Found another.

If you have device security enabled on an Exchange server that forces devices to create a device password to sync, it will not allow the EVO to reboot after creating the password.

1. Set up ActiveSync Exchange account on EVO

2. Authenticate with Exchange server

3. Create device password as you are forced to do with the Exchange policy

4. EVO will sync and download content

5. Reboot EVO and it will not boot beyond 4G animated boot logo screen, gets stuck in a loop.

Just got off the phone with Sprint. This is a known issue in their build of 2.1 that should be fixed in 2.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] TripFlex:
Ahh this is horrible! I wish i had known this b4 i got this phone, not using exchange server is not an option for me.

I'm going to try this option and see if it works:

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/touchdown-exchange-android-app-updated-to-version-30/1149
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soupskin:
Let us all know if it works or not, please.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FatFrosty:
Maybe this will help

I think I found a solution, at least for my evo... When I first made a password, I made it just 4 digit number because I was annoyed I had to have a password everytime I turn on my screen. That's when I first couldn't reboot. I coincidentally put in a longer one the next time and didn't have any problems. Long story short, I had to ensure I had a combination of letters and numbers/symbols.

It won't let you set your password to only letters but it won't stop you from putting only numbers which what caused my evo not to boot.

My current password is 'nnn.' because it has letters and a symbol, and it's fast as hell to put in. Try something like that. I've successfully booted 4 times with exchange running in the background.

Warning: My experience with Android is about 7 hours right now. I'm afraid I won't be able to help much more than that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bloemdr:
Any ideas I did the FOTA update with a Exchange Server password of all numbers and cannot reboot the device - it's caught in a loop of some sort - please help
[EVO 4G Android Development] ripleys:
I use LockPicker to help with the forced password issue. I set up a lock pattern on my EVO, and downloaded LockPicker from the market. Set up my exchange account, and created my password. I then started lock picker, and it overrides the exchange password and uses the previously set pattern instead. I have no problems booting up the phone, and the lock pattern still gives me a certain level of security on the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soupskin:
Sprint called me back to tell me this workaround.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TripFlex:
I FOUND A FIX TO EVERYONE'S ISSUE

Here's what you have to do to get exchange server hooked up normally and not have a constant reboot!

Follow these steps and you will not have any problems.

1.) Hard reset your phone (VOLUME DOWN + POWER with the phone off)

You will have to go down to "CLEAR DATA", it will ask you to confirm.

2.) Let the phone reboot, everything will be erased. Setup your exchange and google account.

WHEN YOU CHOOSE A PASSWORD, USE A NUMBER AND A LETTER

3.) Go to the market place and search for "No Lock". Download it. Install it. Run it.

4.) Press the middle button to make the phone no longer require a lock.

Voila! I just did this and it works perfect!

OP you might want to put this in the first thread you posted so other people know about it without having to go through all these pages.

Using spaces for your password also works.

Odd I didnt have any issues using Exchange Activesync on my EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] krillik08:
+1 I never had any problems with mine either. my password is a cd key and it only has letters and its 5 letters. hmm.. weird.. glad i never had a problem with exchange seeing as this is my work phone! im sorry to everyone that did!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jye75:
Anyone having problems, contact your IT Manager and ask them if they will add you as an exception to the Mobile Services security requirements. They won't open it up to everyone, but might make an exception or two. I do it for certain people in my organization.

Having problem with EXCHANGE "Failed to create the account Please try again later"

:(I am having problem with my EVO and connecting to exchagne server. It was working fine, however I have to hard reset the phone. Now when i try to setup my exchange account, it goes through and take me to the page "Finish Setup" when i choose finish setup, it just sit on processing and failed with error "failed to create the account please try again later"
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
It looks like the OP was just pimping that website, sdx forums. No updates have been made at all and there are many other forums and websites out there with noted issues and fixes. For example, why is there not one single xda forum post?

Thanks to everyone for posting the Exchange workarounds!
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
the title is "known issues from internal sprint support" which means these posts are based on a leak from inside sprint's technical support.

obviously there are quite a few known issues Sprint has acknowledged internally and i've just updated the list with a few more. not sure its possible to solve all of them here in this thread, but at least propagating the knowledge from sprint's internal technical support to our devs will give us greater knowledge going forward in our development work. the alternative is we could all call sprint and hope they are willing to tell us everything their internal techs acknowledge to be wrong with our phone...

if you know of any internal sprint support acknowledged issues with the EVO, please post and i will update the main post. i will look forward to your contributions of internal sprint leaked information or solutions!

if our internal sprint leak stops posting, and nobody leaks any known EVO issues from sprint here, the updates will stop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tsowen:
Seems to be a bug with No Lock, if you restart the phone and press the home key twice it will not bring up the screen that shows all 7 active screens and also when in another program if you hit the home button it will not take you back to home, the work around I found is after I reboot I have to restart the No Lock program again and then everything is back to normal.

so is anyone else annoyed out there with t-mobile and the android phone situation? verizon is getting hooked up with really nice phones, and more and more are coming out, but nada for t-mobile other then the slide and a "project emerald" which we know nothing about. i'm seriously thinking about jumping ship. anybody else out there feel the same?

I had to after T-Mobile briqed my cliq with thier stupid update, and refused to replace my phone (even with insurance). Then my daughters G1 pooped out on her. Luckily I was living in an area where T-Mobile dosent have coverage so I was able to weasel out of any ETF's. So now I got the Moment (about to get an EVO), she has a Blackberry, we both have 3g data and my bill is $35 less a month than when I was in T-Mo. Awsome!

I'm moving to, not visiting, Belgium in a few months and want to obviously use my Nexus One.

I currently have the AT&T version

It does use a SIM card right now and do Belgium cell phone carriers use SIM's?

Is my Nexus currently compatible with Belgium frequencies/bands?

What carrier should I go with?

I have no clue and want to have a bit of a clue when I get there ;)

Thanks!

I Live in the Netherlands (neighbour of belgium) and i can use my phone here, the t-mobile version. and i also can use my phone when i'm in belgium.

So i don't know if the At&t version will work but the t-mobile version works fine, and yes we use sim :P

Which version of the Nexus One do you use? What is a good service provider over there for cell?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
According to this link: http://www.netcomm.com.au/solutions/3g-mobile-broadband/why-use-3g-hspa/3g-carriers

It appears that belgium is using 2100MHz for 3G so it looks like the AT&T version should work fine (and the TMobile version ofc).

edit:

All GSM carriers use SIM cards.

Hi All

I have been rooting my device using both Paul R3 and R5 (tried both since I though r5 include hebrew)

The procedure went ok

I have tried to follow the procedure described here

1) download the DeJaVu fonts from here, they are freely licensed (so no worry about copyrights).

2) copy 'DejaVuSans.ttf' to your sdcard and rename it exactly 'DroidSansFallback.ttf'

3) start terminal emulator and type exactly (watch the Case) the following commands, followed by enter:

Code:

su (then wait for the superuser screen and press yes)

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

chmod 4755 /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf

dd if=/sdcard/DroidSansFallback.ttf of=/system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf

reboot

your phone will now reboot, and vualla! you have your native language displayed! no more white boxes! Ha Ha Ha!!

which seems show as it is completed successfully ....but yet I get squares instead of hebrew

I did it twice but again no luck

I would appreciate if someone can shade some light or direct me

Thanks

There are several threads on Slingbox

Just search and you will find. It works fine on HD2 depending on your box connection speeds and your current data status.
[HD2 General] Naith32:
I know (from searching) it's possible, but I was wondering specifically about members on this forum who used this method and whether they were happy with it...
[HD2 General] adaduk:
I use my slingbox classic and sling mobile v1.6 on my HD2 regularly. The results are good and it works well but obviously depend on your connection.

Annoyingly you can't view completely in full screen using sling mobile v1.6 so if I want to watch "live" TV then I use MyPlayer as that can do full full screen and the streaming quality is a little better.
[HD2 General] bravo261:
i use it almost every day at work and its great over wifi and even 3g if needed. SD feeds look better and have a larger viewable area than HD feeds. it look good as long as there isnt any text, which can look nasty (notably, sportscenter or headline news gets iffy)

i use 1.5 with a slingbox av and a solo...and i have to use a 21xxx rom because the 23xxx roms don't show all the buttons on the hd2 (though it was fine on all prior phones for some reason)
[HD2 General] Naith32:
Thanks guys for the feedback ;)

I'll have to investigate about MyPlayer - sounds good.

I did mean to say I would be only using Wi-Fi and that I only have SD (I live in Spain and receive UK FreeSAT)
[HD2 General] johnboatcat:
I am using Slingbox

classic and sling mobile v1.6.0.1 on my HD2 as well. I get much better reception with this version as compared to the later versions as it has more access to the image controls. In landscape I get full screen, but in the square aspect ratio. There is no way to change this in 1.6. I also have found that the lower channels on my cable come in much worse than higher channels for some reason. Could be the tuner in the no longer supported classic. Later software version go full landscape I believe, but the quality is not as good and no controls. I am sure this has cut down on their support calls, but the quality suffers. My Fox News channel is almost as clear using H data stream as it is on the home set. I have it set to optimize at High action. If you have later versions of the slingbox hardware you need the later software to control your media units. All I need to do is change channels.
[HD2 General] chrisnash:
No one here using v2? Much nicer on my HD2. Just upgraded my slingbox to the HD version as well. Keen to see what the difference in quality is like.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tgusta:
Hi!

First of all, I have installed the rom Gen.Y D2X R2.6 and would like to thank yozgatg for working on it and sharing. It's a really nice rom, fast, stable and with low battery consumption. Actually that is the fist sense 2.5 rom that I really liked and feel comfortable using. Here is the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=590090

But I've been experiencing some issues with touch pointer, it keeps shaking, you can see it when you use vertical scroll bars or while dragging areas or items. It seems that pointer Y value keeps changing from -3 to +3 while the pointer is still. That wasn't happening in the previous version of this rom or in any other rom I used. Also I have installed this same rom in other HTC Diamond and the same thing is happening, so I assume that it's not a problem with my unit. Some other users have reported that issue too.

I tried to replace touch.dll in windows directory (I'm assuming that touch.dll is the touch driver, but I'm really not sure about that). I used an other touch.dll, from an older version of Gen.Y D2X rom, but no success, still shaking.

I search it and couldn't find any solution, I just saw that more people have the same problem. Does anyone have any idea about what could it be or how could I solve it?

Other issue is that I'm not being able to use those 12 quick links cabs. I've tried and didn't worked properly (actually they messed with home tab). CHT is a really great app, but I don't want to use it since it increase the used ram and make the sense interface a bit slower. I just wanted to have more than 6 quick links in home tab (12 is good, 16 would be perfect for my use).

Also, for those who want some modification in their Gen.Y D2X (probably it will work with other roms):

- remove the new start menu (back to old style with custom links)

- remove dual boot start screen

- remove manila auto-rotate (not working exactly how I wanted)

... and don't like to deal with registry, I've made some small cabs to change that:

[EVO 4G General] Raadius:
I just found out last night Radioshack charges the fulll 199.99 for the phone, well in my case 149.99 because I got the $50 gift certicate. My question is, they can't break it down into payments? Or do I have to buy from Sprint? Ive been approved already for Sprint, so what should I do? Go to Sprint and get the phone or go through radioshack? What should I do about this $50 gift certificate which is non refundable?
[EVO 4G General] radar5:
any place is going to make you pay the outright price for the phone. There's no payment plans. Maybe if you sign up for a RS credit card you can pay it over a couple months, but then you'll be paying interest on it.
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
What are you? 12? You need to make payments on 149.99? Work a little harder at your lemonade stand this summer and buy one in September or something, Jesus.

If you can't afford the phone now, you probably shouldn't buy one.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Well, seeing as you already paid $50 for the gift card, I'd go with RadioShack. Anywhere you go, you are going to end up paying for the phone outright, unless you can get a RadioShack credit line.

Not my business what your situation is, that you need to break up $149 into payments, but it kind of reminds me of those people who buy expensive cars, yet live in dumpy houses, and can't afford the insurance or gas.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
yeah, optional means do it if you have problems...

update radio to latest, full wipe, reflash rom. then get gps test from market, activate gps and go outside, wait for at least 3 minutes and you should see at least one satellite. it can take up to 20 minutes for a fix the first time, that is how gps works. on the hero usually faster thanks to agps.
