[EVO 4G General] madsquabbles:
just not being able to turn the lights off on the buttons was nearly a deal killer for me on my droid. luckily someone came out with ledshack.

i prefer having no lights at all and just memorize the button placements. it's extremely annoying when you're reading an ebook with night mode one and having a bright light shining in your face.

so for me any light leak would be a deal breaker. so until ledshack gets updated for the evo i'll put off buying it for now.

Hey there, i was wondering if there was a .cab somewhere i could install to get voice command back? on stock rom all i had to do was hold the send "call" key for a little and BAM it told me to say the command or what not. but ever since i flashed to the energy rom when i hold down the send key it just switches everything to landscape. so does anyone know how to get it back? thanks

voice command

if you go to the energy thread, there is a download tab to download various cab files. you'll find it there. you'll have to manually set the function to voice command though.

Voice command announcing through speaker

I have been using the MSVC 1.6.21913 that came preinstalled. I also have the bluetooth setting for all sounds to go through the earpiece checked as well as the MSVC setting to only announce through the earpiece.

Still, I get random announcements of calls, etc through the speaker. Anyone had this problem? T-mo has no solution or record of it from anyone else (although, I didi have the same problem with my TP2 and reported it to them...)

Thanks,

[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Would you get charge per kb usage ? Or is the $29.99 for unlimited 4G tethering but we can tether on 3g with a cap of 5gb right ? For free.

-------------------------------------

Sent From My HTC EVO 4G
[EVO 4G General] intristin:
If you can get your phone to tether, either through root or 3rd party software like pdanet, it's free and it's unlimited. No caps to speak of and no way for Sprint to know your tethering.

If you choose to you can pay sprint the $30 and use their built in tethering program. But why pay when you can get it for free?

To answer your question in another way, there are no data caps of anykind on the Evo unless you pay for sprint's tether, then 3g is capped at 5gig, and 4g is unlimited for tethering. On your phone, everything is unlimited.
[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:

I wouldn't use more than 5gigs of 3g with that sprint program. You never know what will happen. Find a good 3rd party program and you will be fine.

Could you please supply source quote to back up that claim?

My understanding is that all data on the EVO is unlimited.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
Without $30 charge

3g = 5gb monthly cap

4g = unlimited

With $30 charge

3g & 4g = unlimited
[EVO 4G General] eurominican:
Where did you get this info? Is this just your personal hunch? I asked the other poster for an official quote/link, do you have one to share with us?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
From what I understand, the $10/month that we are already paying gives us unlimited data in 3G and 4G.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
4g is the only truly unlimited data right now, the 3g is capped at 5gb per month. Some users were grandfathered into unlimited 3g with older plans, but I believe everyone had to switch to everything plans for the Evo (not sure).

That said, from my days on the Hero forums, some guys were tethering their Xbox 360s and went well over the 5gb cap.. they incurred no overage charges. This isn't a guarantee that the same will happen for you, but others have not been charged. If a larger number of users start breaking this 5gb cap, I imagine they may start imposing overage fees.
[EVO 4G General] epphllps:
I wish people would stop spreading false information. There is official Sprint documentation that states the premium data fee provides unlimited 3g and 4g data. If I find the link I'll add that too. It's unlimited, plain and simple, but for the evo only at this time.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
I also hate misinformation, so I'll back mine up:

http://shop.sprint.com/en/legal/legal_terms_privacy_popup.shtml

The only thing that makes it possibly unenforceable is that it indicates Phone as modem, but not phone data. Technically you are using the phone as modem, but Sprint may not know this when obtained through root. Specifically this clause:
[EVO 4G General] epphllps:
I found the link, and that link is old news as we all already know about how cell providers secretly cap their unlimited data. This shows specifically that 4g capable devices (Evo 4g) are charged $10 extra for a feature of unlimited 3g &4g data, and that is not the only reason for the $10 fee based on Sprint.

http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/06/repeat-after-me-htc-evo-premium-data-addon-is-not-just-for-4g.html?cid=6a00d83451c9ec69e20133f0c93962970b

If we want to get into specifics of how can they prove I am using my phone in such and such a way...that's a whole different area. As far as the OP is concerned, we will have to see a few months of Evo usage from people who are tethering to see what comes of it. My money is on NOTHING happening. Free 3g data is free 3g data. I can use gigs and gigs of data without even tethering :)

Okay, another edit. Basically, no matter how much data we use it is unlimited as so many have posted before. We are paying for unlimited data and Dan Hesse has mentioned no caps are there and unlimited is unlimited. Makes sense on why we are going to be throttled starting this summer. I have even tethered 20GB a month with my 3GS on ATT and no charges. Technically, I see the $10 fee as bogus b/c we pay for unlimited data with the basic plan and Hesse has stated it's truly unlimited. The shady area is tethering our phones through 3rd party programs which I say is still unlimited phone data.

What I would NOT do is pay $29.99 for the hotspot (phone as modem) and rack up much over 5GB of data, haha. Until we have clear stated info that the hotspot would be free of the 5GB cap, which I'm sure we won't, I would not assume that involves the unlimited 3g data. Though 4g data should be unlimited with the hotspot.

So danknee, is that more suitable of a reply? My first could definitely be argumentative.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
Much better stated. :)

Where did you see that data would be throttled though? I thought that referred to businesses using mobile broadband cards and was completely opt-in. Maybe I misread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariolopezjr:
I just recently bought (as in a week ago) an AT&T Pure. It's still in perfect condition, but I promptly installed a custom HSPL, Radio, and Rom since I love customization. It's actually a great phone, the tie in with Facebook is amazing as well, but what bothers me is the speed. It lags too much for my tastes (which was one of the reasons I gave my AT&T Xenon to my girlfriend, it lagged too much). I love customization and I know how to work Linux (played with many distros in virtual machines and I have experience deploying Linux based servers).

I have a couple of questions before I buy yet another phone and try to hopefully recover the cost of my AT&T Pure. Does the Nexus One combine Facebook accounts and contacts? Meaning put the Facebook picture as the contact picture, etc.?

Can you put HTC Sense on the phone without unlocking bootloader (rather not invalidate my warranty so quickly)?

I have looked at two backup solutions, MyBackup Pro and Sprite Backup. Which one is better or can you even recommend a much better backup solution?

Can you sync the phone with Outlook backing up contacts and calendar entries?

Is there a field for birthday/anniversary and does those get automatically entered into the calendar?

Is there a calendar widget? An animated weather widget (like the HTC one)?

Can the phone convert into a toaster? Can I use it to travel into the past and kill myself, but survive? Will it tell me the secret to life?

Is there a way of getting root access, without invalidating warranty? Is root access worth it?

If I get the charging dock, when the phone is fully charged, does the dock bypass the battery and provide power straight to the phone, so the battery does not overcharge? The reason for this question is because I want to dock it in the night and essentially use it as an alarm clock to wake me up for work.

Is the phone worth paying over 500$ for when I have the Pure already?

Does it lag at all? Will updates come one after the other as it did before? From what I understand, the Nexus One get it OTA, so we don't have to wait a year to get the update.

Thank you for your time,

Mario Lopez
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Yes, you can combine Facebook accounts and contacts - either importing all your facebook contacts onto the device, or merging those entries with the ones already present on your SIM card or with your Google account.

The only option for getting Sense on this phone (if you really really really really really really really want it, for whatever reason) is to flash a custom ROM - which would require unlocking the bootloader, and thus invalidate your warranty.

I think most everyone on this board uses Titanium Backup - it's a very tasty piece of software, but most of the backup options (with any application) will only have full functionality for settings and data if you are rooted - again with a voided warranty.

Supposedly the latest Android 2.2 update allows syncing with Outlook out of the box, and there are third-party apps that I believe will do the same on the 2.1 builds as well. I can't comment for sure as I haven't used these features yet.

I haven't yet encountered a Birthday/Anniversary field in the stock contacts program - could be there, but I don't know.

There is a calendar widget to display your next appointment, and there are weather widgets. As far as the full up Sense animated weather, nothing included in the stock rom has all those pretty touches, but I imagine there are third-party apps that will.

If you leave the phone running some very CPU-intensive tasks, it can indeed turn into a toaster and get quite warm ;) Traveling to the past and killing yourself would interrupt the fabric of the space-time continuum and is therefor discouraged. That said, it's open-source, so you're free to do what you want. The answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything is 42. You don't need a phone to tell you that.

There are no ways to get root access without voiding the warranty. For me, it's worth it.

Can't answer for the charging dock as I haven't used mine yet (lol), but I imagine it would only trickle-charge once the battery is already charged fully. I leave my phone charging overnight when it needs to, and it hasn't combusted yet. To my knowledge.

The phone is worth it if you're looking for a stupid-fast device with lots of community support and quick updates. Keep in mind it's less expensive than an unlocked iPhone ;)

The interface is very quick and snappy. I see occasional lags, but those are few and far between - especially running the leaked test build of Froyo. The NexusOne will get its Android updates straight from Google and a lot faster than anything HTC-branded (where the base code has to be optimized for Sense).

Hope this helps!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
Keep in mind, as well: unlocking the bootloader only voids your software warranty...HTC has numerous times done hardware warranty work on rooted phones - a simple search will pull up several results of this, I'm sure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
The language of the waiver you agree to when unlocking the bootloader DOES NOT specify "software only". I just states that your warranty is void if you continue with the unlocking.

HTC *has* been reported to perform warranty work on phones with unlocked bootloaders and obviously defective hardware, but they are not obligated to do so. They would be well within their rights to charge you for any repairs after you knowingly void the warranty.

I wouldn't send an unlocked phone back to HTC unless you're willing to pay for it - they may not make you pay, but it's much better to be prepared to do so.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:

Ah okay. So basically, they may or they may not, so it is up to their discretion.

Where is it, because I played with the emulator and didn't show any birthday fields.

Now, one last question before I put in my 700$ order. If I buy today, will I get it tomorrow? It says overnight shipping, but then it says it will be shipped out the next business day?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Overnight shipping applies to after it ships ;) I imagine if you order early in the day, it might ship out that day and get to you the following day. Otherwise, you're probably looking at two days.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariolopezjr:
Thanks for the quick reply, thanks to you guys, you know have a new Nexus One owner. Now I am selling my AT&T Pure on Craigslist. XD

Now, any suggestions on reading I should do? I've read all the rooting tutorials, it's actually very easy to do, anything else I should read? I am currently in the process of reading the Nexus User Guide.

Lastly, I understand Titanium Backup is the best, but root privileges is needed to fully use it. Does that mean that it can do everything MyBackup Pro and Sprite Backup can do? Because supposedly they can backup quite a bit of stuff. What is the difference?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketlo:
Most people use titanium because the interface is more useful. Titanium allows you to create more than app back up but the interface displays the versions and not just the date you decided to back up like mybackup pro. I havent used Sprite Backup but both titanium and mbp backup apks+data, system settings and system data. Both have schedulers. What I like about titanium is that it is usually cooked into roms so its easy to jump roms if its installed but its not like its hard to hop onto the market and get it :P
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
I'm not terribly familiar with MBP or Sprite, and have only been using Titanium for the past few days. Basically, pretty much any backup program should be able to make backups of most of your applications, but they're generally going to need root privileges to access some of the system data and settings. At least that's how I understand it... could be wrong. It's happened once or twice.

As for reading.... just stick around here lol. Take a look at some of the sticky threads in each of the N1 subforums - lots of good information there.

Glad to have you on board. I've gotten several of my buddies here to purchase N1s as well :p
