b4 i start asking how to replace my phone in the sprint store is there a way to install stock ruu through fastboot?

you can try the original RUU from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685835
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drunkenmonger:
I had the same problem with the bootloader just cycling. This is what i did; I took the battery out, put the battery battery back in, then hold down the volume button and the power button to get to the bootloader. Then go into recovery. Next i used the recovery-windows.bat file, right click on it and select run as admin.(phone needs to be connected to computer) This should get you to the android recovery. Once in recovery find the selection that says USB-MS. This will allow your computer to see your phone. Put the stock ruu back on the root of the phones harddrive. Once the file has transferred disable USB-MS. Then select zip folder, install and reboot. This should get you past the bootlaoder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Ok this might be a dumb suggestion but when you reboot and go into recovery you get the black screen, then pressthe volume up button and power button, seems one of the recoveries out there required this, cant remember which one though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drunkenmonger:
when you get the black screen you push the volume button up and power button. this wiil bring you into a recovery, but your options are limited in this one. If you run the windows-recovery.bat file as admin at the black screen then you will go into full recovery

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinroot:):
I know this is kinda an old subject,,,, But if you can try this for me if you still have the phone when in fastboot type "fastboot oem boot" that should do the trick.

For the past few days, my HD2 wont connect to my home router via wi-fi. I just keep getting "connecting" and thats it... any ideas?
[HD2 General] lupipe:
i had same problem couple months ago, phone couldn't connect to my wi-fi network..i was crazy for a couple of hours trying to find solution on internet..i found nothing..and then i came on idea to change my wi-fi network name and pass...that worked immediately for me..hope this helps
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
I only have 1 wi-fi network at home, and that would be my wireless router. I will try changing the password in the router menu, then go back to my HD2, turn wi-fi on, and try connecting to wi-fi, with the new password. Let's see what happens...

Sorry, guys. haven't followed here for a few days.

[HD2 General] defnet:
Hi All,

Is there a way to get my hd2 to automatically switch between WiFi and 3G data as wifi networks become available or unavailable. At the moment i have to manually switch data connections depending on where i am.

IE: i have a wifi connection at home an d at work. But if i am going someone else that doesn't have a wifi network, then i have to manually go into settings/wireless controls/data connection/ and switch my data connection to telstra internet or telstra bigpond on order to get active sync and weather updates etc.

What i would prefer it do is automatically start using telstra internet when i am out of wifi range, then switch back to wifi when i come in range again.

I have already called HTC support about this issue, but they were no help at all.

I would appreciate any help you guys can offer.

I am running a Telstra shipped HD2, details:

OS: 5.2.21869

Manilla: 2.5.20121431.1

Rom: 1.72.841.0 (82124) WWE
[HD2 General] Meromorph:
I believe that WMLonglife will do that for you.
[HD2 General] tidus18:
Yeah... it will be able to switch from 3G to wifi. Will be able to return to Edge if no application is accessing internet.
[HD2 General] defnet:
I think ive been given some misleading information from htc, after some initial testing using spb wireless... it seems that the htc does do this switching automatically. And i dont think WMLonglife will be any good for me, becuase i can only get telstra nextg (aka 3.5g) reception where i live. If my phone where to switch to 2g then i wouldnt get many calls, which might not be such a bad thing in some ways.

Im going to keep running with my testing for the time being, but will use wmlonglife if i dont get the results im hoping for.

Cheers guys, appreciate the comments
[HD2 General] UncleBeer:
One solution would be PhoneAlarm http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html . You can set it so that when you enter a particular cell area (your home for instance), it'll switch to WiFi. When you leave that particular cell area, it'll switch back to 3G.

Hi,

I'm running rooted frf83 and just checked my phone and it seems to have downloaded an update and is prompted me to restart and install.

Will this lose my root and is the uk recieving frf91 via ota?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nDrg:
I got the same notification while using FRF85, if you're running a custom recovery image (Amon_RA) then it will simply fail once you've rebooted. This will remove the annoying continuous prompts to install it, and no you won't lose root. I'm also from the UK so it's safe to assume that the UK is getting FRF91 :)

Hello,

I have 2 things that bothered me today in my trip with the HD2

1. What manual settings should I use for the HD2 (contrast etc) ? The pictures are very grainy even under light.

2. In the Messenger app in the new Energy ROM, I can't see my account picture on the main contacts page, Only when I click "change appearance" I see it. Why is that ?

Thanks !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
1.) There are camera tweaks all over the forum for the HD2 I do know you can take really good pics with it , I have no links to them at the moment, you will probably find them faster searching ....

2.)

Can you see others pics/avatars?

I would assume, to save space, since you should already know what your picture looks like ....(not sure if that really is the answer but it sounds good :D )

I'm not sure if there is a way to do this, but I have been adding videos to my evo. The only problem is they don't show the title names.. so for instance, I have a season of family guy, and I have to scroll through them all but they all look the same as it screenshots the first second of each video.

[Droid Eris Android Development] SKumar26:
Im current running White Widow 4.4 and i randomly get a beeping/Techno noise when talking on the phone where my phone cuts out for a couple seconds...

I flashed ZenEXP-Eris Espresso on my gf's phone and she also gets the same issue but hers cuts out a little longer then mine does... Its almost like the call drops and then reconnects somehow.

I've used Evil Eris 3.0 which i loved and had no issues with. I also used Aloysius for about a day and had no issues but then again i didnt use it for long...

Has anyone else experienced this or know what it is? Is there a Fix?
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Simple enough lol.

I normally have had excellent CS from Sprint, both over the phone, online, and in store, but today I had a flat out horrific chat experience online with them.

The chick knew nothing. I mean NOTHING. She told me to keep checking for updates after I told her I was on the newest update and gave her my version number (1.47.651.1 of course). Then, she lied to me about there not being any 4G coverage in the heart of downtown St. Louis!

I told her the map showed coverage and that my buddy's phone right next to me got 4G while mine didn't (of course it didn't, it has no certs :o) and she said that there is no coverage there. The ZIP is 63102 by the way.

Then I told her again that my phone had service there before the update and that my buddy's did right then, and she said some jibberish then closed the chat.

Here's the worst part of the chat:

What the f*ck does "I have checked the basic ." even mean!?

Jeez Sprint, I was proud of your CS before this. This is just sad.

Anyways, please share your worst experience here.

Regards,

Jesse C.

P.S. Look up the 63102 zip on Sprints coverage maps. It's blanketed by 4G.
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
Thats pretty bad. I have only had one problem so far with Sprint CS, though I have only called a few times as I just switched to Sprint for the Evo. I called CS a couple days after I got the phone activated, and told the rep that I wanted to add discounts to my account, either school or work. She told me that id get a 13% discount with work, and that SHE would apply it to my account, and that it would be on my on the bill after next, and to not worry about it. She was a pretty nice lady though.

I called back a week later, and asked the progress of it and if it was in the system. This lady said there was no record of me even calling, and there were no notes..
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
After 3 calls and 3 stores (got the run around) I finally managed to got somebody that would send me the damn replacement phones.

However, she talked like a robot.

After every single sentence she would said: "We apologize for any inconvenience we may cause you, thank you for waiting" Never even put me on hold, just said that after she would say something else.

She also asked me 3 times "How is your day today?" And all 3 times I replied by saying "Oh, it's going pretty good, just got done with a golf tourney"

Those are just two of the things she said exactly the same multiple times while I was on the phone. It was kind of creepy how she seemed not to remember that she had already asked me the same **** several times already and how it was always word for word.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
That would be a pain in the neck. I've had similar things happen with AT&T though.

They had the worst in store people ever (rude, hateful, and just plain ignorant of there being anything besides the iPhone) and over the phone wasn't much better. At one point I called to add the $20 unlimited texting plan to one line of the family plan, and she kept insisting that I add the $30 unlimited plan for the whole account. I turned her down 3 times, and she still added it. I had to call back and have it changed.

^^ Those things make me happy I switched.

BTW: @oOflyeyesOo I noticed you're in St. Louis too, whereabouts you at? What kinda speeds do you pick up on 4G?

EDIT: @hrshycro Ha yeah that sounds pretty creepy. My in-store Sprint rep was really full of himself lol but hell he was funny. He would mess with all the customers though, which could be annoying if you aren't the joking type. He messed with an old lady about picking out a red phone, which I thought was a little over the line, but otherwise he was pretty good.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Everytime I call I get someone in the philippines. I'm assuming that country because at&t has call centers there. I always get someone who doesn't know what they are doing and always get different answers. I just hit my 30 day period today and I need to swap my EVOs and RS tells me that they will swap it after the 30 days. All I know is that they better or else someone is going to get earth slammed.

I've actually had good experiences so far with Sprint. All of the talk I've heard about the service and the customer service have been proven wrong. I got my Evo and my girlfriend's Evo by walking in.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
My 30 days is up too, so they batter refund me money whenever I get the replacement mailer to send them back in and they get them...
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
Usually, I have had great customer service. The only problems are when they want to test my cell remotely, and they ask me to call from a land line. And I don't have a land line. So the test cannot be performed, and I have to go to the Sprint store. They assume you have a land line at home, which fewer people have each day.

I have been with them over 10 years.

Whenever I bug them about a fee or something, they give me credit. One day I even took my Blackberry, and they simple replaced it for a new one. I had no insurance and the BB was 6 months old.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
That's awesome! Other than what happened today, I've actually typically had really great experiences with them in store & online, so I'm hoping this is just a one time thing lol.

It's nice to hear that most people have had no issues.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
Well, I remembered another problem.

I found a Sprint cell phone in the snow. I called *2 and I told them, I found a cell phone.

They told me what was my cell number. I said, well, I don't know, I just found it and I would like you to call the owner at home, or send him an email.

They insisted that I should give them my name, which I did, and they told me that it does not match the name on the cell phone.

I replied that of course, because it was a Sprint cell phone I found in the snow. Somebody dropped it.

They told me there was nothing they could do about it.

------

Eventually the cell phone's battery died, but it happened to be just like my cell phone, so I put in my battery and waited for the call, she called...and then I met this nice Japanese girl at a corner that insisted that I take like 50 bucks. I didn't.

But really, customer representatives are like robots. When there is something unexpected, they have no clue about what to do. And I was disappointed that if I lose my cell, and somebody calls Sprint, they cannot do anything about it.

(they may be lazy.)
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Yeah, that was my problem, they're just robots; they talk like robots and do like robots, and nothing else. Actually made me wonder if they only knew a few english words.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
It really wouldn't surprise me if they only knew enough to get through basic convos. Most of my Sprint CS calls were with American sounding people (or people that spoke excellent English one way or another) but we've all had those "me no speaky" types if you'll forgive the stereotype :o

That chat rep I spoke to sure seemed to stumble through the language. It could have almost been machine translated from any language better.
[EVO 4G General] mekeke:
Sprint sent me a touch pro 2 replacement after mine killed itself. Half of the keys wouldn't work so I called sprint up to tell them they sent me a broken phone. They told me to take it to the nearest corporate sprint store which is about 45 minutes away. So I get there and explain the situation and their response was "Nope, can't fix it". At this point i was pissed. So i went home and called sprint again. This time, my mother talked to the service rep. She yelled at the damn rep and they said they would send me a brand new phone. When the new one got here. There were big blue spots all over the inside of the screen. :mad: I just bought a palm pre and kept the replacement as a back up.

Sprint has been good to me...at least better than AT&T was.
[EVO 4G General] brennod10:
my mom has been a sprint customer for like 13 years and whenever she talks to sprint cs reps it's over the phone... and whenever she uses up her minutes and her bill is high, she just calls and they'll cut it. but of course when i get my evo the treatment changes all of a sudden. the first time i called sprint it was bcuz my evo was bricked, so they said take it to bestbuy cuz we can't do anything for you. that conversation lasted literally 1 minute bcuz the girl didn't know what she was doing and she told me to take out the battery wait 2 days and then try to turn the phone on. i told her that this wasn't going to solve anything so she yelled goodbye and hung up
[EVO 4G General] pinkxpinkii:
Geez. Do you guys expect the customer representatives to know every knicks and knacks of this phone? It's not they're fault they're given scripts and are under tight restrictions as to what they can do and say. Sure they may be seem robotic, but can't blame them. All customer representatives who just talks on the phone the whole will eventually sound like one.

Just saying that you guys are being a little harsh towards them. I would very much rather talk to them than actual robots.. er automated systems.

I live in the Ballwin area, near chesterfield. I get a 4G signal here, but its very weak signal, I never get any bars. Yesterday I was getting a bit better speeds when running speedtests. I was getting 2500-3000 down, and only 150 up... But a week before I was constantly getting speed tests that were in the hundreds, so atleast its getting a little better. Its still iffy though, I still don't get a constant connection, as when I try to download torrents, it might get to 150kb/s, but then drops back down fast, then slowly goes up again and back down, never constant.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Hey at least you get 4G! I'm down around Festus and we aren't on the list until Sprint is scheduled to upgrade the surrounding St. Louis areas until next May! Haha

Its nice to see those speeds. Before I screwed up my 4G the highest I ever hit was 2500, with most of them being about 1500-2000, speeds I can hit on 3G here.

Also, my torrents are always fluctuating like that over my 3G connection, its kind of a bummer lol

I went to the store the other day to get my phone replaced because the power button is lower then what it should be making it difficult to turn on. The store where I originally bought it from ( a corporate store) said they would but I was moving so I didn't have time. So anyways I tried to get it replaced and some b*tch said it was a cosmetic defect and not a functionality issue. So she would not replace it. I eminently called Sprint cs and they said it would be replaced but the store would still not do it. On top of that cs said that the evo could only be replaced in store. I will only be within my 30 days for a few more days. BS I guess I have to get it from my original store.

I have never used an Online Chat with any corporation that is worth a damn. If you need them to do anything or provide any useful information they ask you to contact the support department.

It agrevates me to no end. I love the idea of an online chat with support. It is like talking, only there is a record. But honestly, I don't understand why companies even bother if the employee chatting doesn't have any means to do anything!
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I completely agree! I've never found one online chat person that could even come close to knowing more than I already did about the matter.

Hell, I could probably help people more than the chat reps can; they never seem to be able to do anything in their system, or look anything up in the first place.
