wow i didnt know this either! im just got this cuz u never know
[EVO 4G General] Voodoo288:
Ok so I thought I was hearing things the first time this happened, but before I answered an incoming call on my evo I heard a voice on the other end while my phone was ringing. Well today I heard it again so I decided to check it out, so I called myself on my girlfriends phone and lo and behold I could hear myself on my Evo while it was ringing before I even touched the slide to unlock.

I searched around to see if this was a known feature or bug, but I haven't seen a thing, anyone else notice this?????? Its pretty cool to have lol. I'm on a stock droid build, I tested it some more and its pretty intermittent so I'm leaning towards a bug or glitch but It happend about 3 out of 5 calls so far from my gf's cell (verizon) and it hasn't happend with my dads he's on sprint..
[Android Apps and Games] Mistwalker:
What I'm asking for is a program that acts as your digital Black Book for meeting girls. When I've met them, how many times we've slept together, hide private photos, videos, online backup etc.

It would be awesome if there was an ability to store photos and videos for the specific contact as well. First time I encountered a really good version of an app like this was the "My Little Black Book" for iPhone. I've been searching the net for over an hour now and can't find any app that's even close to that one for the Android platform.

The one for the iPhone is located here: http://saltlicklabs.com/products/little-black-book/

A similar app like that would be awesome.

Things that would be great to include:

Ordinary info

Name, number, e-mail and every other info that's inside the usual contact. Would be awesome if you could import from contact list, link to contact list or something like that :)

Photos/Videos

Import pictures from the photo library to a specific girl/boy and at the same time hide/delete them from the ordinary library so they can't be accessed without using the application. Comments and ratings of pictures would also be great!

Additional information

First date we met.

What's her/his favorite color, food, movie etc.

How many times have we met?

How many time have we slept together?

Hm, maybe this section should be customisable? The user adds his or her own informations fields based on text input like the above "questions" and then he or she can edit the numbers and text when things update. This way the information you can put on a date/person is infinite! :D

Custom lock code <-- VERY IMPORTANT! ;)

Secure SMS and MMS inside the application. Threaded or non threaded view with MMS support. Be able to save MMS atachements to application secure media library.

Backup to online dump site like dropbox or FTP.

Also, would be great to be able to export data and pictures in a way that makes it look pretty nice. Word, Excel, HTML or whatever. Import functions for the exported data.

I think it's sad that no one have developed an app like this :(

If there is any developer that thinks that this is a great idea, I will gladly help out as much as I can with photoshop, tips, ideas, layout and everything else that's not related to programming.

I think this is a kind of app that will be very useful for many boys and girls around the globe :)

I'm eager to read your opinions! :D

Best Regards

Mistwalker
[Android Apps and Games] thefunkaygibbon:
No offence... but I think it's pretty sad that you want this. I mean, I can understand what you want, but do you really need to keep a tally on your phone? Most people would just take satisfaction from the use of their time rather than counting it. It seems like you want to over geekify a quite pleasurable experience... Anyhoo, each to their own, I'm not judging ;)

Secondly (the helpful bit), there are apps to hide folders/sms/files etc (a search on the market will return multiple apps) with a password or PIN. Could you use one of them instead? Maybe not the ideal solution for you, but at least you could hide those 'personal' pictures and texts
[Android Apps and Games] mozes316:
...

Doesn't really matter why he wants it, but I think and a Black Book app would just be convenient rather than have a lock on your photos and your sms and your file explorer. Also that could appear a bit fishy if were to have a wife/girlfriend. lol I would like to see an app like this as well...
[Android Apps and Games] Mistwalker:
Haha, yeah. You could. But it's not that convenient to do. It's easier to keep track of everything in one app ;)

And by the way, it can be used for more than just that. For example, me and my friends, well. They have a pretty messed up way of what they think is fun. For example, they think it's awesome to take pictures and videos of when you do embarrassing things, when you fall asleep waaaay to drunk etc etc. We pretty much ends up with priceless pictures all the time ;) With an app like this, it would be very easy for me to keep track of every funny thing someone have ever done :D So there are more usefullness than just the girls ;) Or boys if you're a girl :)
[Android Apps and Games] icreepin:
Actually I have been looking for an app that locks other apps (with password or pin) and havent found one. got any names or what to put in the search box? Since you said they are there already?

If you are still using sense you can save your themes, and revert back if you accidentally move something.
[EVO 4G General] jrpointer:
Im in the northern chicago area and I'm able to connect to 4g but the connection is slow and unstable...(even with 4 bars). Ive extended the idle time using ##data# but still I have the same issues??? Anybody with a solid connection care to share their ##data# settings? Im thinking the issue might in the settings......
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
I'm in Seattle and see similar 4G behavior. Usually 2 bars or so and not great performance (marginally better than 3G). I'd be interested to see if this can be improved by tweaking the settings also.
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
the 4G antenna in the EVO is half the size of the USB one, I don't even get signal at my house on my EVO, yet I get 1.5MBs on my USB stick. Size matters.
[EVO 4G General] oreoOozZz:
Idk about 4G but i just moved into a new house and i have TERRRIBLE reception no matter where i am. If im not outside, it sucks. Its funny though, as soon as i step out the door, 5-6 bars. Im keeping the phone in hopes that as soon as they get 4G around here (Elmont, NY... Long Island), things will change. =\
[EVO 4G General] Obama's>god:
sprints 4g is in a horrible part of the spectrum. it's frequency is too high to pass through anything
[EVO 4G General] vespoli:
This thread does not belong here. Take this drivel to the appropriate subforum.
[EVO 4G General] Young_e:
unless you are a running a stock rom with the latest updates, i don't think you can make any of these complaints that you all are unless 4g isn't fully up and running in your city. My girlfriend just got the white evo and we installed the latest updates and she gets a very good 4g signal, i have the black evo running fresh 0.5.3 and i get a pretty good signal myself. Not to mention we live in mpls and 4g isn't even officially here yet. A lot of these problems people are having are user errors, flashing things with no knowledge of what they are doing. I would say go back to stock do to ota update with the new radio and wimax enhancements then tell me what type of 4g coverage you are getting. otherwise you are just trusting the chef that everything is set up right which i would take with a grain of salt because non of them seem to understand exactly how the wimax radio works as of yet. Proof of this is all the problems people are having after trying numerous roms
[EVO 4G General] fifoloveritas:
That's not very encouraging, I am very disappointed by Sprint's 3g speeds. I have yet to see over 1mbs, and over the 4th of July weekended saw .2-.7 mbs. Yes, .2 as in 192kbs. This was in Miami.
[EVO 4G General] jrpointer:
I started this thread with the intentions of looking into the settings of the wimax ##data# menu....not too rant about the service. I believe with the good signal I'm getting and the fact that I do connect shows that there's an issue with either the roms were flashing or the setting mentioned above. Anybody care to post their settings?
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
Changing the wimax idle sleep time from 10 secs to 300 secs could help. My 4G stays on pretty much constantly now instead of switching back and forth between 4G and 3G. You would need your MSL to edit the settings though.
[EVO 4G General] TZAK34:
I have similar issues in the chicago land area as well. Very frustrating. I am using a stock rooted rom, but I am using an older OTA update. When I'm outside I always have a strong 4G signal. However, as soon as I go in doors I either loose the signal or have a very weak one. Before you say anything about updating, my GF's EVO is completely stock with the newest OTA update and her 4G behaves very similarly. I actually pick up a better signal at times. It just sucks because if the signal was just a LITTLE bit stronger I would be really happy.
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
Thats just due to the spectrum used for wimax is at such a high frequency that it does not penetrate walls very well. I'm not sure how sprint will try to remedy this problem, I'm not sure but I get strong signals at my work office and thats inside a building. At home I can get 4G if I am outside once inside I cant seem to get it at all.
[EVO 4G General] ripalsanghani:
What's "##data#" ? I would search it but haven't quite figured it out yet on the app. Google didn't help either (surprisingly).
[EVO 4G General] onyx00:
jr - I am in Gold Coast and recently noticed the 4G signal was junk. It used ot be great inside my 13th floor apartment. I went to the sprint store and they said one of the towers was being serviced (they called a tech. and he said this while I was there). They said end of this week it would be fixed. I was going to give them another week or so and see what the deal is then.
[EVO 4G General] TZAK34:
IMO it kind of defeats the purpose of having 4G then. 90% of the time that I want to surf the internet or use 4G I'm indoors, and I would imagine that goes for pretty much everybody. I know this isn't a problem for everybody so it seems, but I think for a lot of people it is.
[EVO 4G General] bbowenx:
interesting you say 4 bars of 4g. when i look at my phone i can get up to 6 vertical bars for 3g's signal strength, but with 4g on, and outside i can get 3 "bars" more like "upper wifi arcs" above the 4g signal. and inside my 4g doesn't even register anything, it just shows 4g with no arcs...

however my technique is to put the phone right next to the window and run my micro usb cable from there to my computer. and i then get great data connection...

still experimenting, (had the phone for less than a week) but i think it might work better to go to menu/settings/wirless&networks/ and uncheck mobile network so the phone doesn't use the 3g for data connection when 4g isn't there...

thus if the 4g signal is low, it doesn't drop it to grab the higher signal 3g...

lastly. i'm heading to the store to try to pick up a 2 buck plastic soap dish with a suction cup for the "high tech holding station" on my window. that and a 10 foot micro usb cable i think that will help even more...

best of luck.
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
I have figured out where in my neighborhood I can get a 4G signal (and I too keep my phone near the window when I want to use it at home). However since the OTA, I noticed that if my 4G signal drops it won't come back unless I toggle the 4G radio. It will just sit in "scanning" and use 3G.

Anyone else noticing this problem?

I would assume that one of the settings/timers need to be tweaked, but I have no idea what my those values were before the OTA.
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
4G has nothing to do with 3G. Clearwire maintains the 4G network and Ericsson maintains the 3G/1X network do if your 3G is bad now, it won't be any different when 4G launches unless Ericsson improves the situation.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
If I'd got this device predominantly for 4G...Id've returned it in day one...(IN Chicago also). In fact wouldn't have bought it going in knowing what I knew about the spottiness of tapping into 4G frequency wirelessly.
[EVO 4G General] oreoOozZz:
that makes absolutely no sense.

per your words, 4G has nothing to do with 3G as in Clearwire has nothing to do with Ericsson so what would it matter if Ericsson decided to step its game up if Clearwire is the 4G company?

4G is on a whole different frequency not to mention a whole different tower technology and tower location possibly so there's definetly a good chance that I can maintain a great 4G signal once it arrives in my area compared to the terrible 3G coverage I get.

well see what happens... my luck they will never put 4G by me lol.
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
You should read it again. 4G or not your situation won't change unless the company managing the Sprint network improves Sprint coverage
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
I'm in sw burbs of chicago, and changed my idle time to 300 seconds, and I have a much more stable 4g connection too..inside the house is better than it was before I changed it to 300..you do need your MSL to change this, though
[EVO 4G General] bwillet:
Has anyone gotten this to work? If so, with what app / headset, and what software version? I'm running the newest OTA update (rooted), and no matter what I try, I cannot get a caller name announcement over any bluetooth headset. I have tried all the apps on the market, including a couple paid ones, and I have tried all these with the Jawbone Icon and the Motorola H17txt. The H17txt comes with software that is supposed to do it, but even that doesn't work. I'm wondering if something with the newest OTA, or the root (or both) is what's killing me. I'm not willing to go back to the original RUU in order to test it, but I did wipe the phone back to get rid of all my apps and customizations, still with no go. A2DP works great with either headset, but no luck on the name announcement. Anyone have any luck?
