I just got my new evo from radioshack after the first one bricked on the update. Anyone try to root the evo that has the new update....im sorta scared ever since the brick....got lucky enough to find a phone at radioshack since everywhere else is sold out....

[EVO 4G General] spamking98:
Came updated with the latest update that bricked my first phone.....i really miss the wifi tether and flashing new roms...
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
As much as I hate losing the ability to root, I understand it. Seeing those posts of people who download 15-20gb a month makes me sad. People like that ruin it for the rest of us. Not to mention slowing down the connection of everyone else on their tower.
[EVO 4G General] gthing:
Sprint sells us unlimited data and you're sad when people use it? What is an appropriate amount of data to use?
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
I am not mad. I just understand why they want to lock it down. Also they are not selling unlimited tethering. That costs $30 extra. Rooting allows you to by-pass that charge. So more people are likely to do it and abuse it. It has a negative impact on other users more than Sprint.

Again, I am not upset about it, I just wish people would have some courtesy and not torrent or stream 24/7.
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
Never really thought about that, but I guess they could handle that the way Google handles Gmail memory. Maybe take the total available and divide that by the number of users, add another gig or 2 to be safe? As the network improves, that cap should go up. Gmail handles it like that, your memory cap is slowly climbing as more becomes available.

I realize bandwidth and storage capacity are 2 different things because of things like peek usage hours and whatnot. However I am sure they could come to a reasonable formula with that approach.
[EVO 4G General] hdad2:
Is it cool if we take up a collection for the first team/dev to crack it? The devs definately deserve it (although many might not even want the money), so it seems like they should get something and we help kick up the motivation a notch as well. Maybe this is a no-no, idk. Just a thought
[EVO 4G General] LordLugard:
I guess you like bending over or being bent over (by Sprint or otherwise) without been taken out on a date first eh. :p bad joke, don't take offence eh. Geez...but isn't that what you're being charged extra premium data for?
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
I picked up an Evo for my girlfriend yesterday and asked them not to put the update on because I didn't have time for it to complete. I said I'd just do it at home. Took it home and rooted that bad boy so fast.
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
you can't just flash back to the stock rom and reroot?
[EVO 4G General] os10:
i don't know about you but i'm paying $70 a month for Premium unlimited data and if i want to use it then i will. tethering by wire doesn't take an extra $30, that's for the wifi hotspot feature. use PDAnet app or something similar. on a recent vacation i grabbed 6GB of HDTV shows overnight on 3G, no problem. i'd use 4G if it was up and running in a place i could use it but that hasn't been an option yet. even on 3G it wouldn't be hard to download 100GB a month with a little effort.
[EVO 4G General] gthing:
I have a problem with charging extra for tethering and object to it on moral grounds. I believe it is a violation of the concept net neutrality and an illogical charge at that. The only reason people are not up in arms about it is that they don't think of cell carriers as ISPs yet, but that's what they are.

If I download something knot my phone and later transfer it to my computer, is that against sprint's tos? If I do that same thing in an automated way is it a violation? Because that's what tethering is.

[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Hey, I am part owner in a Web Hosting Business so I am very aware of bandwidth prices and limitations.

However, I simply don't agree with people that claim it is a bad thing to use lots of data (regardless of how it is used). If Sprint didn't want us to use as much as we want then they should not have called it an "Unlimited" plan...period!!

If a company offers unlimited and people actually use it, causing the networks to slow down, then that is NOT the customer's fault. Would you fault the customers if a buffet runs out of food? Of course not! :)

Sprint needs to step up the network and get the infrastructure sorted out so they can hold up to the service they are offering.
[EVO 4G General] Smac7:
i like the analogy there, good stuff. were paying for unlimited data so they can just deal with it.
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
My stance isn't to protect poor little Sprint from evil users. It's more of an issue I have with people "pissing in the punch" as it were. If we do lose "Unlimited" it will because the few people that gorge themselves. Also when Sprint makes an unlimited plan for phones, I am sure they have the actually device in mind. You can only realistically consume so much data using the actual phone. Its not till you hook the phone up to other devices that your data will skyrocket.

All I am saying is like most privileges in life, if you abuse them you lose them. It's one side of the coin, I am sure you guys can at least see my point. I understand were you guys are coming from, I just think its a bit short sighted.

AT&T threw in the towel(on unlimited), Verizon is likely to follow, I just would hate to also have Sprint give up on us and follow the leader too.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
But, its not a privilege or a side of the coin. We payed for UNLIMITED! What is wrong with using UNLIMITED??
[EVO 4G General] BobFromAccounting:
Actually, AT&T never had unlimited (5GB cap). Same with Verizon. Sprint has said 5GB cap as well in their 'unlimited' data plans (with the exception of the Evo, where it's written out specifically), but they very rarely ever enforced it. AT&T and Verizon will charge you up the rear if you go over.

So no, none of the providers ever had unlimited data. It's just a question of their policies.

Also, keep in mind that downloading really isn't the problem. It's uploading that screws with everyone's connection. So for those of you who are running torrents on your connection, STOP. You can and will cause data issues for everyone else on the node, as there's a limited amount of upload bandwith to go around.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
I see what you're saying. However, there's two extremes and a middle (a parabola). There will be few that'll use gigs of data on one end; there will be people that uses less than 100mb on the other end. So when you average it out, it shouldn't make a difference at all to Sprint since the amount of data spent per month should still be the same as a whole.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
People need to stop spreading the bull**** that Sprint caps data at 5gb. They don't and haven't for quite some time now. The only time you are capped is on data cards and tethering. Period.
[EVO 4G General] jayjay7411:
Okay I'm sorry to rant but I really had to on this and what you said lol. I currently sale Verizon ATT and sprint at my radioshack store. All of them have once had unlimited data plans for cell phones at one point. All still do except ATT now has went to tiered 2gig for 25 and 15 for 200mb. And Verizon and sprint still jab unlimited data on the plans. The factor of the 5gig cap you speak of isn't towards a cell phone or even tetherING with a cellphone.its only for AIRCARDS... YOU KNOW THOSE LITTLE STICKS THAT PLUG INTO YOUR LAPTOP... also so you don't backlash also includes Mifi units which give off data wirelessly.

SORRY FOR THE RANT justread or ask before you speak something isn't true. Sprint and Verizon still have unlimited data on all cellphones!! Lol but yea Verizon already announced when 4g (lte) drops they will also have tiered pricing and no unlimited.but also Sprint already announced they will for sure not follow Verizon and ATT they (sprint) will remain unlimited on cellphone data both 3g 4g and only cap 3g data aircards.. 4g cards when in 4g are unlimited and will remain so.... okay all done and you can verify this by goin to WWW. Verizon.com or WWW.Sprint. com or tomorrow in the am you can to Verizon or Sprint or radioshack or if you like em bestbuy.... lol

I'm not saying this will or won't work but can't you flash the first RUU file that was released then flash Toast's root over that or will that brick your phone even after flashing back to the first RUU? I don't have an Evo anymore so I can't test it.

Um.. now that the kernel is released can we get back to what this thread is actually supposed to be about...? I'm curious because I'm getting my EVO exchanged in the next couple days and I really NEED to root it to get rid of all these crappy limitations HTC imposed on it.
[Streak 5 General] abezapata:
Hey guys,

I would really appreciate it if you could tell me which phone you think would be the better choice. I have had an upgrade from AT&T for over half a year and have been waiting for a big bad a** Android phone to get but have not been inspired yet. The Streak is looking really good and has had me interested for quite some time, but this new Samsung Captivate looks just as great. What do you guys think will be the best choice?
[Streak 5 General] rovex:
Ive seen a lot of these threads, but i rarely see how the 2 devices are rivals for each other.

The streak is a landscape pad, that can make calls. The Galaxy is a phone.

All you can do is try them in store to see what you think.
[Streak 5 General] courtlandre:
Just depends what you want! Streak is much larger of course.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I agree with that, to me i wanted a tablet and i did not want one as big as the Icrap hence a came across the dell its everything i wanted in a tablet that size and the bonus to me was you can make calls from it as i was not looking for that at first, at present i do not think there is anything better on the market,but now HP has acquired Palm i am sure they will come up with a little gem :)
[Streak 5 General] navrac:
Depends on what you want it for.

My usage of a 'mobile device' is a tool first, then a phone. I spend a lot of time travelling and the large screen of the streak makes web browsing, emails, work stuff and games really easy. I rarely use it as a phone other than for a quick call that lasts a minute or two.

So in my case the streak is perfect - especially since my eyes are going. However if I was primarily a phone user - then it would be the wrong device - too big, awkward to hold on a long call compared to a basic nokia anyway.

My view is that now days the phone part is the least used function - so if its going to be a web browser/facebook/twitter/email client then it needs to have a usable screen that makes its main function pleasant to use.

Its not saying the phone part is not important - for me its critical it works as a phone - which it does - its easy to hear, people reckon the sound is good so it fulfils that requirement - but as I said - the phone bit is only used for 5 minutes a day so the big screen means more to me than the fact it feels odd when you talk into it.

On a carrying it around front, its not too big at all, it fits in my pockets quite easily as it's so slim. It gets good signal strength, it hasn't crashed and I've even read an ebook on it which I wouldn't have even attempted on the desire.

(oh and it's quite cool putting other peoples phones on it and saying - oh look, your whole phone is smaller than my screen.......)

But if you spend hours chatting on the phone, either get another phone or buy a bluetooth headset.
[Streak 5 General] Jezza0:
LMAO! Sorry to intrude, but that was a hilarious comment!
[Streak 5 General] <insertwittyusernamehere>:
:D I can't wait to do that to the iFolk. Of course, they'll defend their god and justify their purchase anyway they can.
[Streak 5 General] ArtyCarl:
I have had both of these within the last couple of weeks so can make a direct comparison. The Galaxy is a 4" display and most definitely a phone. The Dell Streak has a 5" screen and also a reasonable sized surround and in my view looks absolutely daft held up to the ear like a phone.

I remember buying an early Nokia Communicator to use as a converged device and it wasn't until I saw someone else using it like a phone that I realised that instead of looking like the cutting edge device it was, it actually looked like a throwback to the early days of mobile phones.

What I usually do if I havn't actually seen the phone in the flesh is to make a little paper model of it from the dimensions and see how it is going to fit in the hand etc.
[Streak 5 General] abezapata:
You just helped me make my decision. Your view on the function of what a phone is used for is just like mine. It is a media device that makes phone calls from time to time when you need to make one. I can not wait for the streak to be released in the US. I hope that July 14 date turns out to be true!
[Streak 5 General] ufh1:
If you are planning to watch videos on streak then I will tell you this that its screen is inferior when comparing AMOLED screen on desire .. colours are dull screen looks washed out & strangely looks a bit pixalated too .. I dont think its resolution is high enough ..

Other than thats its a perfect tablet with the only other let down 1.6 which shouldnt be an issue as 2.2 should come soon. Build and look is awsome, good camera, good in every other aspect in my view
[Streak 5 General] abezapata:
The movie problem would not be too bad since I prefer watching them at home on the big screen. I just want the screen to perform well when I am browsing the web and using social apps on it.
[Streak 5 General] a042349:

I have a half dozen movies, and dozens of Seinfeld episodes, that I use on every phone I buy. When I watch a video on a phone I'm not looking for "true blacks" or "bright vibrant colors" or anything approaching high end quality. I'm looking for a quick and dirty way to kill some time while staring intently at a sub 6" screen.

YMMV but for me, the size of the streak's screen trumps all the advantages of AMOLED's superior color rendering, etc.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Pick them both up in a shop and have a go!

Something that may sway you is that the AMOLED screen on the Galaxy is really fragile, drop it on a floor and it will break :eek:

And it's really soft glass, even the softcase that it comes with has been known to scratch it :eek:
[Streak 5 General] ponyman:
'navrac' summarised the phones' attributes perfectly. I would also like to add that it has a certain feeling of quality. It seems to be the choice for the connoisseur and enthusiast, a device whose qualities only become fully appreciated after an extended period of ownership. Whilst other smart phone users may try to ridicule it's size, the Streak owner will just smile quietly inwardly to himself, safe in the knowledge that his device will still be giving useful service long after their buzz boxes have been consigned to the rubbish bin.
[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
I'd definately take a look at the HTC Desire :)
[Streak 5 General] miker71:
Speaking as someone who has just switched from a Samsung Galaxy S (i9000 model) to the Dell Streak, here are my reasons for doing so:

1. GPS problems on the i9000 - I'm not convinced they'll ever be fixed. Certainly for me SatNav is a big factor in my smartphone usage.

2. The "lag" problem on the i9000. Indicative of sloppy coding (some say bad choice of filesystem, so perhaps just sloppy engineering decision). There are fixes but none of them seem to be the "true" fix.

3. I do a lot of reading (RSS feeds etc) so I came to realise that I could benefit from a larger screen - but not so large I couldn't pocket it.

4. Although the build quality of the i9000 didn't bother me (I did manage to take a minuscule chink out of the glass by dropping it on ... carpet?!) it did creak a bit because it seems to be virtually all plastic. The Streak on the other hand seems really well put together and solid - no creaking. The Streak looks quite menacing, the i9000 looks like an apology for an iPhone 3G

There are annoyances with the Streak, my main gripe is that the default orientation for everything is Landscape and there's no way of changing it (that I know). Even if I lock ADW launcher into portrait mode - in reality it stays locked to landscape! Maddening!

I was also concerned that the size of the Streak might mean I'd have problems pocketing it - no worries so far, it slides easily into my front trouser pocket and comes out just as easily.

Neither device is perfect, but really the GPS issue on the i9000 was the dealbreaker.
[Streak 5 General] supergear:
Um the captivate has gorilla glass so i don't see how it is fragile
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
gorilla glass is more scratch resistant than it is shatter/chipping resistant

fragile can imply either case
[Streak 5 General] valest:
You got your point,that's for sure.But,hey,it's too naive to comment "its resolution is not high enough" ,the truth is 800x480 for a 5' screen,as a tablet,is a bit too high.

Typical tablets have some PPI(pixel per inch) like 132(iPad),170(Samsung P1000),149(Lenovo Lepad).Sure,higher PPI means better video/picture viewing,but it also means the control/text in softwares will become smaller by compare,and that would make you experience difficulty interacting with softwares design for tablets.

Dell Streak's PPI is 187,which is already a little bit too high as a tablet,it would become a phone/mp4 if you make the resolution even higher.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
You can always change the phone's DPI setting by editing the build prop

the streak's default DPI is 160 and if it were brought to a similar ratio as HTC phones it would be set to around ~200

DPI determines the size/scaling of everything, the only issue is that the stock dialer in streak and a couple of other widgets are not Android stock, they break at 200 DPI but otherwise it works well enough at 200-240 DPI
[Streak 5 General] tritran18518:
You might think dell streak is a huge phone at the first time you hold it, but after using it for 2-3 days , you will be familiar with it and there is no more problem. Captivate is a solid phone, snappy, beautiful screen, a lot of custom roms but its GPS is suck, really suck. P/s: camera on captive is one of the best.
[Streak 5 General] HellAngelxxx:
Hi. I have now Galaxy S. I can buy Dell Streak and sell galaxy S.

what is performance difference between streak 2.2 and galaxy S? More time i travel and play games (asphalt 5, gun bross, Nova...). games not lag on streak?

THX
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
I have both and do gaming on the captivate, streak sucks for 3d intensive games, altho I play at 140dpi did tried 160 just for kicks but still some games are unplayable (gangstar miami vindication, modern combat black pegasus, splinter cell), in the other hand, asphalt 5, gun bros, fifa and pes2011 works, gaming wise the captivate runs MUCH smoother than the streak. BUT the Streak is my daily driver and personally is a much better device, the captivate I had to change modems so I could enable HSUPA and at the same time disable Voice calls (WTF i know), GPS issues are SUPER common, good side is the vast amounts of roms (i think of this as a downside too), the fact that you have to use odin before flashing most roms is just a pain in the back if you are out and about. You don't have any of this with the Streak btw.

Data speed/connectivity: Streak

Screen: Tie, size streak, viewing angles and colors: Galaxy S

GPS: STreak

ROMs: I don't like flashing a new rom to test whats good and what not so I call Streak, but back in the day I'll call Galaxy S all the way, flashing roms is a way of life :)

Data/Charging Port: Galaxy S, it uses microUSB that means cables everywhere.

If you think you will be doing lots of browsing and texting I recommend the Streak, if you will be doing a lot of gaming and don't care about dodgy HSUPA, GPS, Lagfix and what not, then I recommend the Galaxy S.
