Please update with your findings on your drive home. Be sure to pull over to be safe.

I've been following this thread for over a year now :D I wish sprint had actually rolled out WiMAX last year because I'd have an EVO instead of this touch pro which is on it's last leg!

In the meantime Verizon seems to have the best 4G in Phoenix as of today.
[EVO 4G General] Hypeo:
Yuma AZ has had 4G signal for almost half the year now. we have 4 towers that are broadcasting "unofficial" 4G.. The speeds vary from 2mbps to7mbps download and 900kbps to 1.2mbps download.
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
Sweet! At this rate we might finally get Wimax in Tempe around 2015.
[EVO 4G General] culua:
I thought they going to discontinue wiimax and switch contract with Lte?
[EVO 4G General] nathan_arizona:
I did connect to it yesterday morning but didn't have time to really play with it or do a speed test. I did stream some video from Netflix and youtube with no issues it seemed to be pretty quick. From what the maps look like it seems like they are surrounding the city first lol. Anyone know how the maps for other cities looked as they were rolling it out?

:D
[EVO 4G General] nathan_arizona:
Hi again everybody, I was just looking at clear.com and i see a few new locations on the coverage map, Ahwatukee and parts of Tempe now have it. I also talked to my analyst with Sprint corporate and she notified me Friday afternoon that Sprint was making an official announcement on October 17 regarding continued 4G expansion in the US and also about Phoenix.
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
Clear deployed in fresno, ca and the map shows it and my school i can access it but goes dead in the class
[EVO 4G General] Active_Matrix:
Hey all I dont mean to throw this a little off topic, but is there any word on 4g for long island ny? The company I work for just got in 4G duct. Could this be a sign?
[EVO 4G General] jayshocka:
Ahwatukee and tolleson within a week.... Good sign?
[EVO 4G General] nathan_arizona:
It might be..:)
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
Awatukee is soooooo close! Gah! Hopefully it keeps spreading.
[EVO 4G General] nathan_arizona:
It looks like it is running near the University or on the campus in Tempe. It seems so close to my office on 44th St and driving me crazy too lol.

I used 4G in San Francisco a few months ago and I really enjoyed it, sort of like a kid tasting candy for the first time now I want more lolz. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] Kchitown1977:
That be cool.I'll be taking a trip to Phoenix in october
[EVO 4G General] geeserver:
Hum... Hard to say that when I haven't seen Sprint putting fiber up to there cell sites. Some sites have 2-3 T1 trunks. 1 is being used by the Nextel network. Sad when I only get 300kb on my EVO most of the time. Only one area I know I get +1M is around 36st & Indian School. It's great to get that speed all the time. In South Phx its horrible.

Just my input...

VZW ATT TMUS and even Cricket is on the list for fiber. No Sprint unless they are going thru Cox for backbone. CenturyLink is Sprint friendly since they bought out Embarq.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
South Tempe, around Knox gets great 3G for some reason. 1mb+
[EVO 4G General] Greatness83:
i hope its a better 4g service then it is here in philly
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
As far as good 3g areas, when I worked at Starbucks around 19th Ave and northern I would average 900+ on a daily basis. Any day any time. My job at the post office near sky harbor usually averages 800+ too
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
Just ran speedtest, 65kbps. I've seen over 1 mbps from this very spot but that's not usual. My brother connected to Wimax around Elliot and Priest, test at 4.2 mbps.
[EVO 4G General] Mark_Hardware:
I've been getting a 4G signal at my work, 75th and lower buckeye, for a few weeks.

It's a really poor signal, and drops out, but it's there... A glimmer of light, perhaps?
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
The tolleson tower is actually in an area I can use! Its all along the i-10. Infested it from 83rd Ave and MC dowell this morning and was averaging 2mbps down 1.4 up. For a bit I couldn't get crap for speed then I decided to raise my phone up and move it close to the open window of my car (was at a gas station) speed shot up instantly. Never used wimax so its good tobsee it working on cm7. Also now know what people mean by its penetration issues. It couldn't even get inside my car...though I've got an old car so its actually steel and not all this plastic crap they make cars out of now
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dressanderc:
Don't exactly know what this is or how it happened. This alteration is in a perfect square in the middle of my rectangle. Also, there are a lot of small "dots" visible. The screen shows through it perfectly, so I know there is nothing wrong with the actual screen or LCD. Maybe the digitizer? The phone functions perfectly, touchscreen and all. Does anyone know what this is or how to fix it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
If this puppy's still under warranty I'd be hitting that up ASAP. That doesn't look right AT all

note: you have 1 year from the date you purchased the phone with AT&T for hardware issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
If it isn't your screen protector, it is a "Newton Ring", a defect in the LCD. Send it in for warranty replacement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hdurina:
I had the same issue with my TP2... I would be able to see the colors only under white light or under bright sunlight. I figured it might have sprung up after I dropped the fone. Luckily, mine was under warranty and I had the device replaced for no cost by TMo...you can go down that path or search for the LCD replacement for your fone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dressanderc:
Okay guys answer this for me. I didn't buy the phone new, rather I traded my Iphone 3GS for it in or around January. I know the phone didn't come out until September 2009 (I believe). Can I still claim the warranty?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GiZZy:
i got the exact same thing, and seeing how my phone is acting up now as soon as i fix it i guess i will be sending it up for a replacement. I thought it was just from the screen protector but i guess its more than that
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
I got my phone in December.... just called into ATT yesterday to get a warranty exchange because the microphones on my phone stopped working. as long as you have only had it for a year it should be okay. Did you get it from AT&T or did you just trade a friend for it or something?

Either way, it will only take you about 5-10 minutes on the phone to find out if you can exchange it. Might be worth just taking the time to make the phone call to find out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Reclaim:
Ok, so my Tilt 2 just started doing this exact same thing. I called ATT and they said this voids the warranty. They also said if I go through with an exchange and htc feels that its out of warranty then they will charge my account 400+ dollars for the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
WHAT voids the warranty?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Reclaim:
You know, the issue the thread is about. But I will share the rest of my story in my next post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Reclaim:
Alright, So I'd like to elaborate and share my experience with the "newton's rings" issue. Before via phone call, AT&T said that it was physical damage (even though I treated the device with care) thus voiding the warranty. They told me that if it was a common problem, it would not be a big deal, and then continued to claim that it wasn't a common problem even though I found numerous forums discussing the issue. After discussing the issue further with them, they directed me to a device care center where techs can look at the phone. Once I arrived, I showed the phone to a young lady with a very dry and cold personality (but that was fine) and she took one ultra quick look a the phone and said it was covered, even said that my screen would straight up go out soon because of it. She set up an overnight delivery of a new phone (she swears it's not refurbished) and I was on my way in less than a few minutes. I was baffled that I couldn't get this done over the phone and don't really understand why the employees at the device center seemed so much more knowledgeable than the WARRANTY customer care people I spoke with on the phone.

Overall, it wasn't a super awful experience, but I did have to jump through some unnecessary hoops to get it done. I hope people can learn from my experience today! Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dressanderc:
AT&T replaced mine, but stated the cause was "stress" related. That's bull crap though, it just started doing it on its own. They wanted to claim it on my insurance, but after arguing with a supervisor, they shipped me out another one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhsjevo:
I am looking for a Citrix ICA client for my EVO to allow me to log into our Citrix server at work. I've checked the Citrix downloads and am finding something called a Citrix Receiver for android, but am not sure if that's what I need. I was thinking I need to find a Citrix ICA for android. Anyone have experience using their EVO to connect via Citrix? Appreciate any help or direction. Thanks much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewwy420:
It's in the Market, do a search for citrix. Works very well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominicanodcora:
i've downloaded it but is not the same like on windows mobile 6.5

how do i log in? on windows mobile i just go to the website and log on from there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominicanodcora:
did you find it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bootup:
Citrix Receiver is what you want and it works better than even the WinMo version IMO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominicanodcora:
Doesn't work for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moo696969:
Time for a little thread resurrection.

I've downloaded the Citrix Receiver app from the market which allows me to log into our remote acres website just fine. What it won't do is allow me to open any of the applications.

On my Win7 PC, after logging in and clicking on the app I want to run, IE asks me to save/run a file called citrix.ica (or something.ica). Irrespective of what it's called my PC runs a file that my Android devices don't.

Is this the standard process for accessing Citrix-based apps (ie: do others need to run this file as well before anything will launch) or does my organisation have the extra complication for no other reason than inefficient implementation of Citrix?
[G1 General] cgonz92:
i need help because my phone sometime doesnt send the txts and i have to resend them a 2nd time so they can go through. can someone tell me the best APN for a person in NY on T-MO??? because it seems t-mobile-US APN isnt working all that well
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
Okay, so I rooted and installed Cyanogen earlier; what cool things can I do with root?

Also, wow. My phone feels so much more responsive now. Just an aside.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaboy51:
custom roms, rooted apps, themes etc... :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
Currently using Cyanogen. There a list of apps for root or anything? That's really what I'm looking for.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
Quick post: themes. Where do I get them? Are they the morphs in the themes and apps section?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Go to the themes section and read the morphs threads. Install metamorph from the market and go to town. I spent days with new black status bars, battery icons, etc. Check for black matte, or desire icons, its so nice.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
Gotcha. Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
to the OP

you know you will have a much shorter list if you refraised the title "list of things that you CANT do when rooted". being rooted lets you do anything you could want on a android phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
True. I'm just wondering if there's a list of apps, common things to do, etc.

Also: Metamorph doesn't seem to be working for me? Trying to apply BlackMatte and it has been sitting on res-framework.apk for hours now.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
You know the first time I tried to apply with metamorph it sat there forever, and I thought I did something wrong. I forced it closed, reboot, and then tried again and it worked.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
Ah, should've thought of that. One more question: what app is it that puts a notification with battery temp, health, etc in the tray?

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

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Well battery life widget is what many use, which puts temp, voltage, and percentage on a widget. Make sure you enable extended info in its settings.

I don't like the battery running in notification bar. I like a clean running status bar, so a home screen widget is better for me.

If you use cyanogen, percentage goes right over top of the battery icon itself. :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
I found the notification one, which I like except it places a second battery icon in the notification bar, instead of just the tray. I like the info in the tray though. Anything similar to that out there?

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

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yeah well there is one that will put it in your notification bar, but i forget the name. and cyanogen puts the percentage on the actual batery icon. its in spare parts in the cyanogen ROM.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
go to pointer location in dev tools. hold one finger down then put the other down, use like pinch zoom but keep the first one still.

thats how the other guy does it in wimo. you can kinda see a pattern.

if you let go of the second one first the point retraces its steps almost exactly!

i keep coming to the same point...great idea, lots of time..but not enough dev knowledge on the android. this might be easiest to tackle (out of the things i want to) because its top level.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] leona:
I would be great if it was possible to 'zoom in' around the phone, then maybe I'd be able to 'see' to use the thing!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
have you noticed that all native android phones have a zoom button?

1. why doesnt this do anything for us? i use kaiser so i have lots of extra buttons

2. if it can work as a button, should be easy to write a quick program to check for the pattern i described and call the same thing as the button

oops its a search button. but still

has anyone had problems reciving calls lately,i've had a couple of people say they called me and showed me their phone but i had no missed calls or voicemails and these pepole have tmobile so it cant be a problem with one of the towers.

did you do hard rest after updating rom?? usually do 2 for good measure

I have this problem too guys - I updated it and people keep saying that they call me but I don't receive anything. I have google voice installed for the voicemails and thats where everyone is reaching. they get to the voicemail but the rings never go to me.
[HD2 General] mastajest:
When you say it's been happening before updating the Rom, do you mean it happened with the stock Rom as well?

Maybe it's a hardware issue and not software. In any case, try changing your radio and see if that fixes the issue. Also, I've never had to do this myself, but I've heard that sometimes you may even have to change the rilphone.dll; but I would experiment with different radios first.

look at this thread for questions about changing your radio:

[EVO 4G General] cloudyphiz:
For the first five days I had a huge issue with the battery draining while in standby, and because of that I expected to return the phone. Now that I have logged out of google talk and changed to CDMA auto it's doing much better... I seem to get at least 6 hours of continuous use with little power draining when the screen is off, which I can definitely live with.

Here are the things I love about the evo:

* Being able to plug it in to my computer and mount it as a drive. So simple, and so frustrating that apple won't allow it.

* Google navigation. It's awesome, and much safer since it has text to speech.

* The screen size is amazing... I love that it lets me view docs in meetings so I hardly have to print anything

* Wifi tethering

Here are my main issues, the big ones that might make me have to return it:

* Horrible wifi reception. I have yet to pick up a signal at work, and I have no problem with my iPhone & laptop.

* It sucks as a media player. I have a huge library full of lossless files, and I don't have the energy to convert everything (yes I've tried doubletwist and andless but I can't get it to recognize the artist/album/songnames properly). I listen to a lot of music so this is a major PITA for me.

* Build quality kind of scares me, light leakage etc.; it makes me feel like I need to get the insurance. This plan is costing me way more than an iPhone 4 would (since I still have two other lines on AT&T with one year left on the contract and I get a lower corporate discount) and I hate the thought of paying any more.

The evo is not without it's imperfections, but I love it so far and shudder at the thought of having to go back to an iPhone. In fact I picked up my 3G today and it felt like a sad pathetic joke, like going back to one of those 12 lb. i486 laptops from the 90's. And nobody wants that.

[EVO 4G General] JM-PDA:
Welcome!

Thanks for your iPhone/Evo thoughts.

I have some friends at work that are curious about Evo and how it compares to an iPhone.

I've been with Sprint for 10 years, so I've never had an iPhone.

These XDA forums are full of really good folks that want to help out.

Enjoy you Evo!
[EVO 4G General] binxer:
I also came from a 3G and have similar opinions:

Screen - Damn this screen is beautiful. It definitely is hard to go back to the iPhone just because of this. In addition, I can see much more on the screen without having to zoom (unsure if this is because of the larger screen or increased resolution, or both). On the other hand, it does seems more reflective than the iPhone. I have a hard time seeing the screen in the sun because of all the glare. It's very nice indoors though.

Syncing - much better than the iPhone. iTunes is okay when it works but it just has too many problems. Plus, being able to manually put things on the android without having to root is awesome.

Navigation - Wow. Google navigation blew me away when I first used it. Streetview is a nice touch. Nothing compared to that on the iPhone unless you pay a decent amount.

Customization - being able to root and apply all sorts of different ROMS is pretty badass. Currently, I'm using a Froyo ROM and I have to say... much better than HTC Sense. I guess I like stock android better (I hate HTCs keyboard - too crowded).

Notifications - hot damn I love notifications on android. This is what may keep me on android. It works so well with gmail.

Widgets are awesome :)

My issues that may swing me back to the iPhone (and please, if I can fix any of these issues, let me know):

I hate having to press the power button to wake from sleep. Maybe I'm just used to pressing the bottom button on the iPhone, but it was just so much easier for me. Of course, not a deal breaker, but very annoying.

It could be just me, but the screen seems hypersensitive. When I'm scrolling up and down, I'm constantly opening apps/menus that I don't want to. It seems to be getting better, so maybe I just need to get used to it.

I'm in Hawaii and the 4G is supposed to be pretty good -- looking at the coverage maps on sprint shows mostly blue where I live. However, I seem to get spotty coverage and the speeds compared to 3G aren't what they advertise. I was so looking forward to 4G. To add insult to injury, leaving 4G on drains the battery like no other.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I think most people agree the iPhone's OS is much more polished. It doesn't help that both HTC and Sprint add applications and background processes. Scrolling on the android is a tad slower and a little more jerky. One thing that bugs the hell out of me is, on HTC sense, if you press the applications icon, open an application, but decide to go back to the applications screen, it doesn't do that! It goes back to the home screen. That frustrates me so much. Froyo doesn't do that so right now I'm pretty happy.

I can't think of anything else, but I'm pretty torn right now about keeping the EVO or getting an iPhone 4. Any advice?
