[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrX8503:
I'm in the process of separating from my EVO as we speak. I can accept the build quality issues, but not the 30fps cap. Also I don't have faith in HTC in fixing this issue.

My eyes are on the Moto Droid X, Samsung Galaxy, or the iPhone. I'm to my limits of being tossed around by these phone manufacturers and I'm not gonna accept anything less than perfection now. The EVO was my dream phone that has turned into a bad dream.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cary328is:
Actually I'm thinking about the SAMSUNG GALAXY S PRO since I'm stuck with Sprint.

The hummingbird samsung CPU based on Cortex-A8 architecture and supposedly 3x faster GPU performance than Snapdragon intrigues me. Also I want to see the "super" AMOLED screen to see if it's everything they claim it is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
That's quite a rant, but...

Ketty, looks like you jumped ship without testing the waters first...

The EVO is a phenomenal device. I have personally used and supported many different devices, across carriers and manufacturers, for several years within my enterprise. Though every device has its dis/advantages, the EVO all around is a superior unit.

However, any device is only as good as the network it's on. Clearly, you have incredibly poor network coverage from Sprint in the area you live, rendering the EVO's hardware essentially useless to you.

A quick glance at sprint.com's coverage map beforehand may have saved you some trouble, eh?

I cannot speak to VZ vs Sprint's customer service, as I manage business wireless accounts, so I interact with dedicated account rep's.

However, I can speak with confidence (and experience) that Sprint is, generally speaking, cheaper than Verizon. Your comparison is an unfair one, as you are taking advantage of Google Voice for texting instead of paying the carrier. Another example: VZ has no such thing as a $99 unlimited plan. I could go on, but the general consensus is pretty clear on this point.

Good thing for you, is Sprint won't charge you a dime if you decide to return to VZ.

I've got great sprint service

I get full subsidized upgrade every year

Lower etf if I decide to leave

So no way. If it was on sprint maybe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AppDev:
Mixed feelings...

Been with Sprint for over 10 continuous years, and I've got mixed feelings about my upgrade to an EVO. I love the phone and really wanted an Android phone. Spent a lot of time researching what was coming available. A big selling point for me was the 4G. I'm in San Antonio, which is a 4G market, and the overall quality of 4G service here is terrible. A recent nationwide market analysis shows Verizon has better and more reliable 3G service, compared to all other carriers, including Sprint. My phone is not modded or rooted, and my 4G signal drops from 3 or 4 bars outside to none whenever I go in any building. Then after awhile it toggles between 3G and 4G, which causes a loss in connection when acquiring a 4G IP address.

I stream pandora and tether my phone at work, and today had to go outside in the 100 degree heat just to download an application (Ecplise IDE Helios app. 170 Mbps). I love the phone, but am very disappointed in Sprint's network. I've called and spoke with 3 different reps, including a EVO tech support person. They had no solution other than to point out my area of coverage was not good when indoors.

Like I said earlier, I spent a lot of time researching and looking at Sprint's 4G maps for San Antonio before making the purchase. The maps have changed significantly in the last few months. Initially maps for 4G data showed complete coverage of San Antonio, which was indicated with a dark green back in April/May. Now their 4G map coverage is dark blue and light blue to indicate Outdoor Signal Strength and Indoor Signal Strength.

I plan on going in to a Sprint Store (one with a tech support) tomorrow, and speaking with one of the technicians to find out why my two EVOs are having so many problems.

In addition to poor reception, my wife and I have experienced episodes where the phone locks up when typing in SMS and occasional issues with the phone continuously rebooting when touching the screen prior to Froyo. I love my EVO, and will deal with the 4G issue if Sprint is willing to compensate me the $10 premium data charge on both phones. My biggest problem is me having to wait 10 to 40 seconds for google.com to load, when my co-worker, who sits next to me, is able to stream HD on his iPhone from his home media center.

I've done speed tests at home and work, and get consistent results.

These speeds are approximates:

- Home -

Inside is .01 Mbps 3G only

Outside is 1.5 - 2.0 Mbps 4G 2 bars

-Work -

Inside is .02 Mbps 3G or 4G no bars

Outside is 4.5 Mbps 4G 4 bars

[Touch Cruise General] grimpressive:
Hi all,

my polaris, that was in my pocket started vibrating every 5 secs some mins ago.

Watching what could be, and i saw it's in continuous reboot.

It displays the first logo (smart mobility) then reboots.

no say to enter in bootloader mode or hardresetting.

it displays that two screens for a while, if i try them, then an another reset.

I removed the battery and wait for 10 mins... same thing. no way to get a boot.

Removed sd and simcard... same problem.

A reboot (like softreset) every 4 seconds until you unplug battery. :(

halp. :(
[Touch Cruise General] lince:
Did you try hard reset?
[Touch Cruise General] raed972:
it happened with me last night but it was almost out of battery so it will start to boot bit it will fail because the battery needs to be charged.

so take the battery out. wait for 1 or 2 minutes. reinsert it. do not turn the device on. recharge. turn ur phone 10 minutes latere because now it has enough power to boot

regards

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proman95:
I just purchased and an HTC Hero off ebay.

First off i do not have it activated with sprint! All data services but WI-FI are off. I can browse the web.

I am trying to sing in to my Google account but it comes up with two different errors

1.Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server

This error come up the most 95% of the time

2. you do not have a network connection

it says im not connected to the net but when i hit wi-fi im connected to my router

dose the wi-fi chip time out or something when the screen turns off?

also Im just getting started with android so forgive if i make some mistakes.

also is there any way to force all data to be sent through wi-fi?

im assuming because its android i can just root it and put a file or something to only use wi-fi as its main source of data. My plan with this phone (because i cant afford a 70$ a month data plan) is to use it like an ipod touch

HTC Hero Info

Firmware version 2.1-update1

Software number 2.27.6516

not rooted
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proman95:
Figured it out!

Apparently its a glitch with Google, if you don't activate your account the first time you cant activate one at all. The solution is to hard reset the phone and if that dose not work. Google "android cannot maintain a reliable connection"

So I flashed a ROM and it came with a special icon set. Now I want to revert back to the default icons each program comes with as well as what 6.5 normally has. I am using JWMD IconChanger but I can't find my default icons. When I say Show Default Icon, I am shown the default icon but that is not saved nor is there a way to save that selection. Please help or redirect. Thanks.
[Desire General] lambrospower:
Hello guys, i have a question, some may call it noob some may thought it themselves. i am currently rooted and using mcr3.1 without problems at all but i don't have the apps2sd.

i want to try it and i baked a new rom from the kitchen with the a2sd+ option integrated but i don't want to mess up my current sdcard and want to use another one i have. can i do that ???

as i see it i must do the following:

1) while my CurrentCard is inserted make a nandroid from the fake-flash recovery

2) turn off the phone and insert the new card

3) put the update.zip (for fake-flash) and the baked rom onto the sd card

4) now go into recovery (fake-flash) and choose to install new rom

will this work ok ?????

in addition as i see on my SDCARD some applications like titanium backup or astro or htc mail, rom manager, wifi tether etc have some files on it into their respective folders. will i be ok if i copy-paste them after the procedure into their folders in the fat partition???? or the a2sd+ uses some other m,ethod for the apps to store their info ????

THANKS for all the help
[Desire General] tatey2457:
That should be fine...just don't forget to partition the new sd card for a2sd
[Desire General] lambrospower:
do i need to make it with gparted or the rom makes it by default ???
[Desire General] ephumuris:
The recovery image has it all. Look!
[Desire General] lambrospower:
yeah i haven't taken a look into the recovery before...is there any update.zip that adds the a2sd+ to my current configuration ????
[Desire General] ephumuris:
No because it's already part of the rom. Your sd just needs partitioning correctly.

Back up your sd card, boot into recovery. Go to partition menu and partition sd card.

Mine is swap 0, ext 512, fat remaining space. Then you can copy your sd backup back to the fat32 partition.

That's it all apps will install to sd card.

Is there a way to keep the keypad visible by default instead of needing to press the keypad button while in a call?

I tried searching but I think I'm not wording the search correctly since I didn't find anything: and I read the WIKI.

BTW- I confirmed the registry tweak to reduce the button sensitivity does kill the screen keys while in a call.
[Droid Eris General] wrath112:
kinda new to the rooting thing but now that i got it down pat i am comfortable trying to find app on it. I know that they are store on the phone instead of the cd card.

What i am wanting to do is pull my apps off the phone and store them on my pc move them to phone and install them using ASTRO.

The problem is finding the apps ... how do i mount the phone itself to the pc rather than the SD Card.

Work running: XP

Home: Ubuntu 9.11, Windows 7
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
System apps - /system/app

Installed - /data/app
[Droid Eris General] wrath112:
okay that's where they are.

how to i get that to show up on the PC.

when mounted no there is no:

/system/app

/data/app

also in astro says there are 0 files in the /data/app
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
Not sure if Astro can find system files or not. I use root explorer.

These commands are every where, do a lil searching next time.

adb shell

/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/app

ls

you will see all the apks listed. do the same to get to the other dir. if yuo want to pull them, search. i dont have my cheat sheet with me at work to give them to you.
[Droid Eris General] wrath112:
Appoligies

I got the adb shell now on my PC at work lol. I am such a good employee. I work in the IT Dept. and things are slow right now. I have even cleaned. Messing with the phone is a last resort.

I will let you know if i figure it out. There are a lot of how-to's out there. Next time i will JFGI (just f***ing google it)

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MonsterEnergy:
Hi,

I'm having an unusual problem..

My power button will not put my device in standby or turn the screen off when the keyboard is out on my device. It's a HTC Touch Pro (Verizon).

Does anyone know why this might be?
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
First off: I text A LOT, so having decent text input options is very important to me. I send upwards of 3500 sms per month

I have known of Swype for a long time now. I enthused about it when i first saw it demoed, but later found it to be less than efficient; but that was on the Windows Mobile platform. Now I might have been a little bit harsh on swype in the past but seeing the final Beta up for open testing i felt I HAD to give it another chance. This is a new operating system after all, and there has been plenty of time to iron out any flaws. So here is my take on it:

it is well designed and feels like a lot of work has gone into it BUT I just don't see how it could EVER be faster than typing with the default Froyo keyboard. For one, you can only use ONE finger, standard keyboard lets me use TWO, thereby doubling PRODuctivity (!); for two, much as Swype's predictive algorithms are GOOD, the fact that the standard keyboard shows suggestions along the top bar as you TYPE is a lot more efficient. In the event Swype gets it wrong you have to highlight the word, press the Swype button in the corner and choose the alternative word. You also hit a stumbling block when it comes to punctuations too as Swype doesn't seem to suggest possessives or other grammatical nuances. So there it is: I'll be Swyping Swype from my Android phone and forever wondering why it even exists.

What do other people think?
[Android Apps and Games] kevwright:
I think its terrible, horrible and YUK :-)

Kev
[Android Apps and Games] Gr8gorilla:
Swype has a learning curve. Most people who learn to use it find that they type much much faster with a single thumb than with two.

I swype probably 5 times faster than I type, now that I have gotten the hang of it. Just keep practicing. At first it is slow and sucks. Give it a chance. Now I can't imagine typing on my Nexus without it. I really hate it when I have to go terminal to do something and then have to switch to HTC or standard keyboard to get the emulator to take the input.
[Android Apps and Games] mssmison:
moved this thread to general, which is the better place for discussions like this.
[Android Apps and Games] lecast:
So if would type with three fingers you would get triple the productivity? Sorry, but this is BS mate. Same with making mistakes. I don't know about you, but I was making mistakes way too often on HTC_IME, and had to go back as well, or choose a different word from the suggestion list (which brakes my train of thought).

At the end of the day it is all about WPM and if you can squeeze more words on a traditional soft keyboard then do it. I swype almost as fast on my phone as I type on my laptop which in my case means really fast.
[Android Apps and Games] thechump:
I can't imagine using anything other than Swype these days. I switched to it from HTC_IME a few weeks ago and immediately felt an increase in composition speed. However, Swype's dictionary can get a little odd sometimes and there is a definite learning curve when it comes to using punctuation. However, once you get used to it, it's better.

Also, if you are having trouble with possessives, just spell out the noun. Then, drag down to the apostrophe then back to the S. Swype will automatically put the correct suffix on the noun.
[Android Apps and Games] daemondemise:
Swype has a steep learning curve. But once you've mastered it, it's painful to go back to the primitive way of typing. I think Swype will ultimately become the standard of touch interface. It's perfect for tablets too, knowing that you'll always have one hand holding the tablet and only one hand available to type.
[Android Apps and Games] r3s-rt:
I agree, after mastering swype, it blows everything else away. Also, you are ALLOWED to make mistakes with it versus if I made a mistake on a regular keyboard, it usually screwed up the word prediction.

I say give it a try, man. I disliked it at first too tbh, but now I won't text without it.
[Android Apps and Games] avoozlholland:
I like swype a lot. Just got it last night. It does have word prediction if you want it.
[Android Apps and Games] stooby:
I usually use Swype instead of my Milestone's hardware keyboard!

I would hate to have to revert to the standard software keyboard since Swype is so quick and easy to use once you've practiced a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] MillyMoo106:
The new Swype auto-punctuates for you (eg. dont will be don't). Each to their own really, I use Swype when I need to be one handed as I have the hardware keyboard for two hand times, it is a useful setup.
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Swype is the faster keyboard, but is my opinion only ;)
[Android Apps and Games] disgustip8ted:
when the swype beta on my phone ran out for that day i felt handicapped trying to type on the default keyboard again

once you get used to it, its amazing
[Android Apps and Games] r3s-rt:
Forgot to say, read up up on the tips and tricks. It will amaze you how much faster it can become even after mastering it.
[Android Apps and Games] THATTON:
It is my #1 must have, most used app by a mile! I feel awkward even trying to type on a regular keyboard now. There is definitely a learning curve but once you get used to it, it is amazing!
[Android Apps and Games] katiepea:
After I got used to swype it's way faster. According to my own speed tests (timed by a stopwatch). I can finish a 40 word paragraph roughly 6 second quicker using swype, and I can FLY using tap keyboards.

It's far more accurate for me personally. For sure had a learning curve but I'd feel naked without it now.

This might sound odd, but one thing I do like a lot about Swype is that it is fun. I like challenging it sometimes with super-long words, and it amazes me how it recognizes the swiping patterns. Now admittedly, I'm not a "power user" who needs to text and email constantly, so I could understand why people might tire of it, but for longer emails I actually find it very useful, and I think if I had to use my phone constantly, it'd grow on me even more and become invaluable. What I do love, and this is what make Android so versatile for me, is that we get the choice. It's easy to switch from the stock keyboard to Swype in a second, and that's valuable in itself, because so many other smart phones don't allow the user that much choice.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
One other thing I forgot to mention is that unlike with the stock Froyo keyboard if you type with Swype you have to put in EVERY letter, much like with the old number pad T9. Just for example, almost every word I am currently typing with the stock keyboard requires only half or less of the actual word to be tapped out before it guesses and autocompletes it with a press of the spacebar. This is how I am able to type so fast. It basically ups your word productivity by about 50% at a guess.
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
A while ago I did some tests and found roughly the following order for my particular fingers (greater means faster):

Swype portrait N1 > landscape iPod Touch > landscape stock Android N1 > portrait iPod Touch > portrait stock Android N1 > landscape Swype N1

In landscape Swype is truly awful... the spacing is just too awkward to make it work. But it's very handy in portrait. Currently I'm on my Milestone so it works out nicely. For my N1 it would be nice to be able to choose separate keyboard options for portrait & landscape modes.
[Android Apps and Games] dalingrin:
Agreed. I really wish I could have Swype in portrait and HTC_IME in landscape.
[Android Apps and Games] torchedlh:
x 10000000. C'mon google let us do this!
[Android Apps and Games] Talesin_BatBat:
Only soft-KB I'll willingly use.

I'm actually loving Swype on my G1. If I want to kick off a quick text, it's fast and works GREAT, especially with the 'imprecise' capability.. don't need to hit the exact keys to get the word you want. If I need something longer, or to work with nonstandard words (connectbot and shell scripting work), it's easy to just flip out the hard-KB and use that instead.

The part that gets me is that it's actually good enough to hit the 'why bother' point. Why bother popping out the hard keyboard and going into landscape mode for a message *that* short? With the default HTC_IME, that was _NEVER_ an option.. anything to be typed in beyond maybe two letters made a switch absolutely necessary, as every other soft-KB I've used so far has driven me mad with frustration. To the point of nearly throwing a friend's N1 when attempting to type in my email address. And don't even get me started on the iFern.
[Android Apps and Games] dan.expo:
I like Swype but I wish their auto-correct for my mis-spellings/mis-swypings was a bit stronger and accurate. It just slows me down a bit when I have to look to make sure it got the right word.
