I'm a gadget/tech freak for sure; always have been, always will be. Unlike many people I know, I take insanely good care of everything I own because I feel blessed to be able to afford the things in my life. When I move on to new things, I either eBay or give away the old and I ALWAYS hear "wow did you ever use this (insert device name here)? It looks brand new."

I'm also very tech savvy (although I'm having a hard time figuring out Android flashing/Linux commands). So in other words, NO I am not the root of my device failure! I've NEVER even dropped a single phone or any device and I'm not one to click away without first knowing what an action will do by reading forums like this first.

BTW' What I meant about the sooner or later comment was that I have a gut feeling that since the screen problem has to do with the glue, that it's only a matter of time (a few months or even 1 year later) until it happen on more devices. I could be wrong and that will be great. But I've searched high and low and found way too many people, from all over the country who have the same issue. I did not find any reports of the HD2 having some build issue like this.

All that matters is that we are all happy with our choices. You and others are happy with your choices, therefore, it really makes no sense for happy owners to be upset with those of us who or not happy. Guys! This is a device, it is not a person nor a member of your family. In a year or 2 you will have moved on from the Evo and never look back. Can we not all see how silly it is to argue and get upset with other people who have issues with not only a device but a device that has a lifespan of only 1 to 2 years?!

Android vs. Apple, Mercedes vs. BMW.....you have to admit, somewhere up above, the angels are looking down on us little humans and feeling sorry for the ways many of us get so emotional over the fact that someone has spoken/written negative words about an object that we happen to own for a short period of time.......
[EVO 4G General] weezer562:
well

Seems to me this is something you could have told sprint about and your phone would be on its way by now.
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Umm

I have spoke to Sprint and they say they can't be sure that I'll get my number back because I'm going from Sprint to Sprint. T-Mobile had told me the same thing; I'm guessing this is how carriers stop people from starting new 30 day trials over and over with them......

EDIT: Just to be clear; I was on T-Mobile with my HD2. Ported my number from T-Mobile to Sprint with the Evo on a new contract started from my RadioShack purchased Evo. RadioShack is taking their time in getting me a new Evo (they keep selling my replacement). I've not made a big deal with RadioShack corporate because now I'm not sure I want to keep the Evo (waiting on the iPhone, Galaxy and Droid X). So Thanks to this forum, I was able to fix the reset issue and although the screen issue is not something I'd live with, the phone does work and so I'll just keep using it until I decide on another phone or to stay with Evo (then replace this Evo with a new one). Either way, I guess I have until the end of this month to decide.

Hi

I came across this on one of the other forums on this site, and i thought i would post it here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=686221

I havent looked at it because I'm not a developer and i wouldn't really know what I'm doing. Maybe someone can port some of the apps from it or something, like the social network app :)

Hey guys,

Just spoke to someone from Sprint and even though Seattle has had WiMax coverage for some time now, they are apparently still expanding it. If you have patchy coverage, it should be improving soon. I actually noticed that coverage outside my workplace has improved just in the last week.

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads-up. Thanks!

[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
im sorry guys but samsung is a joke when it comes to smart phones, i will never own one. they should stick to making tvs and whatever else they make non smartphone related, i have also heard bad things about evo, something about the screen messing up at the bottom for people causing led bright light to shine so bright under the screen, kinda like that separation from the screen and the bottom of the hero how you can kinda see the light. I hate tht about the hero, why couldnt they seal that better. just piss poor
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
I do agree with your assessment about Samsung.....as far as software is concerned, but I have to say that the hardware and or manufacturer that Samsung uses is FAR superior to that of HTC. I came from an Instinct before the Hero. It was absolutely the worst software ever introduced on a phone but it was also the best hardware that I have seen to this day. Combine that with the upgraded tech inside and Android for the OS it really cant be bad. Then again, after the Instinct, I swore that there would never be another Samsung in my pocket. lol I'll probably keep to that promise.
[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
While i agree that sammy's suck.. this looks to be a great play for sprint.. the more hi-end androids the better.. maybe they can steal some thunder from verizon and their onslaught of droids..

If sprint will market these hi-end androids against verizon and att showing that the plans are way better.. etc.. and do it right..maybe sprint can gain some some customers etc..

Take dan off the air.. bring back the pin drop guy from way back.. then promote the hell outta the plans and phones.. lol sure fire win in my book.. or just show some t & a holding the evo etc..lol

EVEN Better Fix - FC in Manage Applications

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

try moving /data/system/accounts.db to /data/system/accounts.db.bak and rebooting, signing in with your account again and trying again.

(or Simply do a "rm /data/system/accounts.db" in any shell)

Confirmed it's fixed on my.

I also removed a line from /data/system/sync/accounts.xml so stock is not even an option when you go back into Accounts & Sync.

<authority id="2" account="Stocks" type="com.htc.android.Stock" authority="stock" enabled="false" />

===============

After you removed APP's from /system/app (I assume you pull those out before you delete, or you can get them from the zipped ROMs), then install these apps again, these will install to /data/app, and just use MANAGE APPLICATIONS to Uninstall them, this should clear out ghost widgets and FC in Manage Applications. (Even Stocks / FriendStream, etc will work with this combo fix). (NOTE: I have NOT done any Wipe Data/Factory Reset to get this fixed)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
I did an rm /data/system/accounts.db, then did ls to double check it was gone.

pulled the xml and edited like you mentioned ( sweet ass trick thanks!), then pushed it back, rebooted

Your fix worked like f'n magic, thanks m8!

BTW: I nand-rooted earlier today, makes life so much easier for something like this because you can rw without even being in recovery mode.

I also learned if you remove the apks, dump them to a dir on /sdcard you can install/uninstall them anytime u want. Nice trick for removing pesky sprint apps and other things you don't want. Wish Sprint would have done the apps that way so you could remove them easily.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
maybe it would be easier if you had a list of the apps you pulled, rather than the apps you left.

Hi, I'm new to Android OS. My HTC EVO yesterday started getting the same problem as the one described in the previous post to which you have responded.

How do I get to the /data/system directory. None of the file browsers that I installed on the phone shows it. Do I need to use any PC tools to get there?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
You need root explorer or you can use es file explorer and give it root and make the system writable then go to settings home directory and switch the directory from

/sdcard to / then exit the app and reenter

not possible
[HD2 General] adrianfly:
I wish that when I type a text message and press two keys at once, that the two characters are printed on the screen. I want to take advantage of the capacitive screen in the sms. The ipod touch and iphone take this utility.

There are some. Cab to let me do this?

thank you very much
[HD2 General] elburna:
Dont really understand this... If you press two characters at once, how should the phone know which one to draw first...? Usually u only press one letter at once (even on the laptop). so which sense is this supposed to make...?
[HD2 General] adrianfly:
When you press two keys at once, always a key will strike first and thousandths of seconds after you press the other. For example, in the event that the two keys are pressed at once, their seconds and milliseconds, are placed randomly.

In the iphone and ipod touch can appreciate this.
[HD2 General] elburna:
Sorry mate, impossible on the HD2 yet. But still, even if i type fast (and i type very fast!) it never happened to me that i pressed two keys at once. Theres always a slight delay between the two presses which is absolutely enough for the HD2 to recognize them. If you need even faster Input: Try Resco Keyboard Pro 6 Beta2 Its free and enables you to type even faster because there isnt any lag at all while typing (faster clicks possible, more acurracy)... Maybe you want to try it out...
[HD2 General] ayilm1:
This would be good for things like capitalisation. i.e. hold down shift while pressing a letter. The iPhone's keyboard seems to do this, though it is software related, so its most likely going to mean a new keyboard. No biggie.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Sander101077:
Hey Guys,

just starting a new threat to look for info and ideas about the next subject:

I am going to get a new phone in the next few months. Probable looking for an HTC with WP7.

I dont know if I will like it and I am wondering if these new phones could be flashed back to WM6.5.

Of course I would be willing to help with all kinds of WP7 ideas an tests, even though I am not a developper myself.

So, the statement for the new threat:

--Would it be possible/worhty to make 6.5 roms for WP7 hardware?--
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Possible, sure. Likely, no. WM6.5 is, for most intents and purposes, dead. Highly unlikely that anyone puts in the time and effort needed to hack the bootloader, etc of specific devices in order to backport the old OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yekafe:
I think u can buy a 6.5phone now
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fdo35:
If you're looking for backwards compatibility Windows Embedded Handheld 7 (based on WM6.x) is scheduled for the second half of 2011.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kfreels:
I've been following the conversations backstage and I don't think WM6.5 is dead at all. WP7 has a lot of shortcomings when it comes to business use. No copy/paste, less customization, etc. In fact, it is a dumb smartphone which is more geared for the iphone type consumer...those who would gladly trade endless customization and features for simplicity. Those who look at phones as fashion accessories and toys rather than something designed to get work done more efficiently. Sadly, the market for this is much much larger than the market for serious smart devices. Steve Jobs figured this out which is why the iphone is such a big hit, but most of us here have been looking at these folks going "wow, you can copy/paste now? Neat. I've been doing that for years!".

I had a list at one point which detailed all the things that WP7 does NOT do that 6.5 does and I can tell you that enterprise customers will not accept WP7 as a replacement to WM6.x. Many large companies out here are Microsoft partners with exchange servers, sharepoint, Office suitefor all employees and as a matter of IT support, they only support Windows Mobile so that their IT departments only have to manage MS products. If hey were to cut off SM6.x entirely while rolling out WP7, purchasing departments across the country would make a huge shift to blackberry. I'm certain that this is why RIM decided to go forward with plans for a new OS and why HP purchased Palm with their WebOS. They are both counting on MS doing this.

However, through conversations with various insiders at MS, it appears these fears are unfounded. Windows 6.5 is expected to continue being developed even into next year with possible future upgrades to the OS itself. WP7 will not support skins such as the HTC Sense interface, and because of the business users with business devices - particularly full qwerty devices like the Treo, Glisten, etc - they do expect to continue development.

I have heard rumors that there is actually a long development cycle planned for WM which involves the next iteration of Windows Mobile which will be renamed Windows 7 Professional. This would be in line with MS and their way of doing things and matches up nicely with Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7. I don't know how much of this part is true and how much is just rumors floating around backstage, but it makes a lot of sense.
[Windows Phone 7 General] welki1979:
..not dead....dying. The next iteration of 'WM' is BASED on 6.5.x and then in 2011 a version (based on WP7) with XNA and silverlight support is due.

Here's some info on the next 'WM' release....~note...this is not a 'WP' release so doesn't fall under the 'Windows Phone' umbrella, it's a new version of Windows Mobile - Embedded and it;s backwards compatible.

Just found this little app it synces your Tasks with google calendar.

Just in case backup your tasks before using it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cervelli:
Tried?

Thanks for pointing this out Arturo.

Have you tried it?

If yes, what's your opinion?

I ask because I don't know this developer.

-c
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
I don't know the developer either but yes it works. It synchronizes tasks both ways and basically it reads task categories from your mobile and transfer all your task from a category to newly created sub-category in your gmail task window. So if you have for a example a taks called "change oil" with category "Car", the app will create a category "Car" in your gmail -calendar task window and there you will find all your tasks with category car. Unfortunately you can only view one category at a time in your calendar, so if you want to view all tasks from category for example "business" you will have to switch it from category "car" to category "business"in g- calendar. And that is kind of issue for me because whenever i switch from one category in gmail calendar to other,(change of categories has to be confirmed with left mouse button or enter) gmail-calendar adds "space" to the name of a first task on the list and unfortunately it's synchronized like that...with that annoying space to my mobile, unless i edit it manually which is kind of pain in the ass. Try it for yourself and see how it works for you.

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cervelli:
Thank you!!

Your welcome.

Let me know if you also have this problem in your calendar:

"And that is kind of issue for me because whenever i switch from one category in gmail calendar to other,(change of categories has to be confirmed with left mouse button or enter) gmail-calendar adds "space" to the name of a first task on the list and unfortunately it's synchronized like that...with that annoying space to my mobile"

Maybe i'm doing something wrong.

Also it synchronizes all the past(completed?) tasks from your device so it might take a while.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fcervelli:
Trying it

I am trying the program :)

I am not experiencing fo now the space in front of the tasks, maybe because I am trying a recent version?

It's not clear to me if and how I can have automatic syncing. Do I do it manually?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nilzor:
The space in front is related to an issue with the way Google Calendar are handling creation of task groups, not the GogTasks app, as arturo points out.

I recommend you guys work with the task list from a different web interface - like for instance the one at http://mail.google.com/tasks/ig or the iGoogle tasks plugin.

With regards to automatic syncing, it does not support that as of yet. I'm planning that option for a future release thought

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nilzor:
I'm working on the problem... I have a suspicion it is related to the fact that Google redirects you to a local server as a part of the authentication process (from www.google.com to i.e. www.google.co.uk) and that that server produces sligthly different output or cookies than the one I'm testing against. I'll see if I can force google to go to a specific server.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] printing724:
Works on Samsung sch-i910 on Verizon USA.

Sync on startup and on demand works well. Auto sync would be the best, but it would be useful if, when you close it, it would notify you that a task has been edited without being synced.

Nicely done, I've been hoping for something like this. Hope Google doesn't break it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fcervelli:
