Hey folks,

loving life with this evo so far.. i know that Sprint says the data is unlimited, but i've heard of "soft caps" with the various telcos, and now that i've discovered the joys of tethering, i am curious... does sprint truly have it unlimited? i only have the phone on 4g when i tether, but we all now it can bounce back and forth from time to time, even without moving. Also, is there a way to track data used between 4g and 3g? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IOInterrupt:
From what I have heard you are only getting unlimited when you are on 4G or Wifi. There is still a cap on 3G usage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjr19:
I thought so... I only use the tethering in one spot, and it definitely has 4g access (the tower is literally 30 feet away haha) but you know how using various rooted roms may cause intermittent issues with 4g... is there a way to see how much i've used on either? Sprint's site just shows the total.

EDIT: Just checked..

Sprint Data

21,174KB/ Unlimited

Should i be worried? lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladthedog:
This was with my palm pre (only had my evo for a week) but with 3g i would top out at 10-12gb/month and i've never had any issues. you would SERIOUSLY have to strain your data usage to hit a cap IMO. My data was mostly streaming, but i would occasionally tether as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjr19:
Yeah, gotcha... I'm at 21gb, that's why i got a little worried, lol... damn rooted evo and it's wireless tether! haha thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rooder:
its unlimited regardless of whether you are using 3G or 4G. Thats how sprint justifies charging the $10 fee to customers who do not live in a 4g area.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] healthpellets:
absolutely untrue.

there is a 5GB cap on HOTSPOT 3G usage.

there has never been a cap on data usage on phones. ever.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjr19:
Hmm... can they tell if you're using wifi tethering?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] healthpellets:
i have no idea. technically, it's a violation of your TOS to do so.

i guess if Sprint really wanted to dig in to your account, they could look at how you're using the data. for example, i'm pretty sure Hulu doesn't work on your phone. so if they see you're streaming from Hulu five times a week, i guess they could assume you're tethering.

nor am i sure how much control Google has over your phone. we know they can remotely delete apps, but who knows how much more they can do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobFromAccounting:
This was always my word of warning when it came to tethering - if your phone can't do it (Hulu or torrenting stuff for example), don't do it while tethering. Sprint will never know otherwise.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjr19:

I understand the effects of leaving 4G, BT, and even 3G for that matter, ON can consume more battery life. However, what's the consensus on GPS. I have it OFF and turn it ON every time I'm using Google Navigation, etc. However, this is getting quite annoying. Will GPS really turn "off" itself if an application is not using it? I heard that the HTC Sense Weather widget will use the GPS for its refreshing and just that alone will affect battery life.

So what is the final verdict? I feel we've had plenty of time to test our theories by now.
[EVO 4G General] Tikerz:
It says in Settings > Location > Use GPS Satellites "Uncheck to conserve battery", so I have to believe it will consume more battery when left on.
[EVO 4G General] GumboChief:
I leave it on, and get better than a full day of use from phone.

I was in my basement, and my battery went from 100% to 15% in 3 hours.

Uninstalled Yelp. Problem gone.
[EVO 4G General] LearnIIBurn:
I was definitely under the impression that gps only used battery when it was being utilized. Hmmm I keep mine on all the time, so maybe its time to turn it off and see if there is a difference.

GPS ON should only use more battery when an application that needs GPS asks for it. Android is really good about showing you an icon in the taskbar when the GPS chip is actually used.
[EVO 4G General] prjkthack:
I definitely leave GPS on since its only really "ON" and being used when the icon appears at the top of the screen. Otherwise its just available for us when its on.

The term used for the button should really be "Available" or "Unavailable" rather than on and off.

[EVO 4G General] vedavin:
really ? ofcourse it does
[EVO 4G General] eagle63:
I doubt it consumes more than a fraction of your battery if left on. For that reason, I can't imagine having to manually turn GPS on and off throughout the day - complete waste of time. Even if it chews 5% of your battery in the course of a day(and I doubt it's that much) it's worth leaving on, unless you truly never use it.

Back on my Dell Axim x51v, It had a built-in button app.

You would press it, it would start to record and soon as you released it, it would then stop recording.

I think it was called hotvoice.exe and was built-in to the windows notes program.

I was searching thru the forums and found this script for some other devices, but it does not appear to work when imported.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\4 0C6]

@="\"\\Windows\\AppButtons\\Record.lnk\" -b"

"Icon"="\\windows\\hotvoice.exe, 0"

"ResetCmd"="\"\\Windows\\AppButtons\\Record.ln k\" -b"

Is the 4 0C6 the right shell key code for PTT?

Does anyone know how to get this press and hold recording working?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antiskunk:
I know there are Widgets which allow you to interact with the homescreen without launching apps but I was wondering if it were possible to make an app take up a specific panel on the homescreen.

For example, I would like to simply swipe left/right and see the stock clock app open, as a widget perhaps, interactive as it would be as if it were launched.

Is this remotely possible? Perhaps a way to emulate the app in the homescreen as a widget?

I'm sure with 2.2 and JIT it shouldn't be too much of a strain :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATnTdude:
You would need to find a widget that duplicates the functionality, or at least ties into (if there's an API to do that), the clock app. Widgets aren't the exact same thing as apps, while programmed similarly, they're treated differently by the OS.

[General Questions and Answers] zeoran:
I tried to find another thread on this topic as I was sure it had come up before, but I couldn't find one, so I apologize if I just missed it.

I have a new HTC Tilt 2, love it, still using stock rom (so far) and I bought an app made for the old ppc os. It's a diary program upgrade from a very old diary program I used on my desktop and the newer version of the program included a mobile ppc program that syncs with the desktop version of the app. Well, I tried running it as a trial and it seemed to work ok, until I finally bought it and sync'd it with my desktop version which had real data already in it. The desktop version works great, but the pocketpc version just doesn't seem to like my screen size. It's too tall and not wide enough, especially when I rotate my tilt in order to use the keyboard to type in diary entries, which was what I got this for.

So here's my question: Is there any other application/mod/whatever out there for the newer WM6.5 that helps us run older apps better??? I really don't want to give up on this program, I've been using the desktop version for over 10 years and have way too many diary entries in it to stop now. I just wonder if there's any way to help the program run better on my Tilt2 with WM6.5???

reason i want it cleared: may send in for repair and i dont want others to get my info, or i may have to send to insurance company for payout (they said to hang on to phone for now) and i dont want them to see my info, or may sell damaged unit if insurance doesnt pay and i dont want those folks to get my info either.... see the problem? :confused:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiserai:
There's this:

http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/

But if you don't have Debugging enabled and can't get it to register when you hit "adb devices" you're probably effed. I don't know much about touch screen engineering, though. Does it still respond to touch as far as you can tell, or is the screen completely dead when the OLED display stops working?

This serves as a good warning for others, though. ALWAYS MAKE SURE USB DEBUGGING IN SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > DEVELOPMENT IS CHECKED. There's really no good reason I can think of that would ever make you want to leave this unchecked, and this is an example of when it would come in very handy.

"HTC says EVO 4G's 30fps cap on video output can't be increased

By Chris Ziegler posted Jul 9th 2010 5:31PM Even though we've seen evidence of a hack that circumvents it, we've been able to corroborate a story over at AndroidGuys this week that the HTC EVO 4G's 30fps cap on screen output is a terminal condition -- so says HTC, anyhow. The official story is that the cap was necessitated by the phone's support for HDMI-out, and there's no way the company could craft a software update to nix the limitation. Of course, as usual, we have every faith that the xda-developers community is going to magically take care of this in a way that's easy enough for at least power users to install -- but until then, you'll just need to deal with a frame rate that's just barely perceptible to the human eye. We suspect you'll manage."

[EVO 4G General] Housoft:
I've wondered if it could be fixed by killing power to the HDMI-out. Seems like HTC woulda been able to include an HDMI-out toggle and enable 60fps w/ HDMI toggleOFF if that were the case though.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
old news and wrong section
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
That seems like the logical thing to do. However, you have to remember we're talking about HTC.

On another note, I would love to get rid off the HDMI port to have full 60fps. I know for sure that I'll never ever use that stupid feature in my life from a phone.
[EVO 4G General] upaboveit:
If HTC turns out to be right and the screen *must* be limited to 30fps in order to enable HDMI, then it seems to me like the development community has a pretty clear (if difficult) plan in front of them. Once 60fps is figured out, then including a settings-style toggle between 30FPS/HDMI and 60FPS/No HDMI would be the solution. Hell, auto-toggle it when an HDMI cable is plugged in or yanked, too. And if we ever get an always-on HDMI out for the whole interface, that switching system could still work. Well, in theory.
