Just let them use it for a little while, the EVO sells itself ;)
[EVO 4G General] jewelbaluyut:
How about voice-to-text feature.
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Show them the screen; all 4.3 inches

if they are iphone users, show them you can install an app from the sd card without rooting your phone, the turn by turn is good to show off, facebook intergration, high quailty youtube vids,

Tell them how it f*cking prints money, builds you an island, and then flies you to it :p

All kidding aside, the kickstand is a huge one. If you're in a 4G area, big seller there, notification LED for missed calls/texts/emails/etc, front camera, HDMI if you have a good TV there.

Take off the battery cover and show them the MANLAND hiding inside!

Ok, PhoneMyPC is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. That is an intense app. Thanks, I'd never heard of it. I'll try it tonight.
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
RemoteDroid - use your phone as a trackball keyboard to control your computer on the same wifi network, useful for powerpoint presentations etc (it's also been recently open sourced)

USB webcam - although in its infancy, allows you to use the evo's camera as a webcam on your pc. Its choppy, but it works if you're in a pinch.

Touchdown - An email client with activesync support for exchange accounts, one of the only mail apps that allowed me to access mail at work

Rockplayer - Plays a variety of multimedia files without the need to recompress, simply drag/drop to sdcard and play

Astrid tasks - An open source todo list manager that you can schedule notifications for, also has a widget for easy viewing of pending tasks.

PureCalendar - Self explanatory
[EVO 4G General] ultron:
Gmote.

With Gmote, you can use your phone as a remote control for your PC or laptop, including using it as a keyboard if you want. I use it often for PowerPoint presentations.

Cool apps not found in market and some great unknown apps that are in the market. You'll get some cool ideas here as well as download links.
[EVO 4G General] oblivion0:
Don't forget to highlight Google Maps & Navigation...as it's hands down the best maps GPS application out there BAR NONE - and it's free. :)

A few people also mentioned this, but the text-to-speech integration is also insanely cool.

And Swype (or really swapping out any stock keyboard) is a nice touch, as most phones are locked to a single input type.

If your phone is rooted, it also wouldn't hurt to use ShootMe or the other screenshot app I'm drawing a blank on ATM...I believe you can even remotely display the phone interface on a PC, which does wonders for any kind of presentation.

Then there's the cheese - games, live wallpaper.
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
I know that you aren't trying to compare this to iphone, but show them "Remote for Itunes" instead of gmote. It is infinitely cooler. In fact, it might be the most mind-blowing app for the regular user that's out there.

How do you use this? (just for my own benefit) I don't know how.

Screencast might work, though it's a little choppy. Maybe you could show them Docs to Go. It allows you to open and edit all office docs. If you've ever used a Blackberry for business, then you'll quickly see how superior and life-saving this app is.
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Screw it just show them both videos :D
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
show them the app inventor and the possibilities that entails.

when i showed my evo off to my boss, he was particularly interested in how it connected into the company VPN and was able to get company email on the go. not an original feature i know, but still a valid feature for business people.

i also showed off homepipe that let me copy documents straight to my phone, barcode scanner(kinda cheesy, but still fun) and i showed him the QR codes.(which he now has printed on his business cards ^_^)

good luck!!
[EVO 4G General] oblivion0:
In the Android Market, check out Text-To-Speech Extended and of course, for another fun WoW factor there's Google Translate...which speech text in and text to speech out. :]
[EVO 4G General] bigdogdan2:
So you can speak into the phone english and have it output spanish voice translation? That would be useful to me.
[EVO 4G General] oblivion0:
Yes, this was demo'd during the 2010 Google I/O, it's very impressive.

I'm told that the grammar for some languages is better than others...but it's still a great app.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
I say hire a beautiful stripper with a smokin hot and tight body. Have her wear regular business clothing but have naughty stuff underneath her clothes. Have two phones with video conferencing software installed and working. Do your presentation like normal. At the end, say I've saved the best for last. Have the hottie take her phone and go into the bathroom. Start talking to her. Then as she's talking to you, she starts stripping to her victoria's secret undies.....

Ya think all the guys would run out and buy one then???!!!
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:

[EVO 4G General] 355spider:
To all of you guys who said show them that it can be rooted and have free wifi, you're retarded. This is a business presentation. Obviously some of you have never had a job. What average business person will root a phone? That's for dorks like us.

And what company in their right mind would let their workers steal wifi that's not in their phone contract?
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
slow down champ. you asked us to provide you with reasons the evo rocks. you didn't put any filters on WHAT you wanted us to suggest. we all simply stated what WE, individually, think are good features.

no need to get snippy, we're here to help ya! :cool:
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
I didn't go through the whole list, just most of them, so if these are on the list, I apologize:

* Home Pipe (stream music and media from your computer at home/work FOR FREE) - I LOVE this program.

Wapedia (wikipedia)

* Google Translate (I will probably need this for work when speaking with Spanish-speaking people about their businesses)

* Runstar (if they like to run/jog)

* Google Voice

* MicDroid (pretty new, does auto-tune and is free)

* Kindle

* Mileage (tracks fuel consumption - could be GREAT if y'all drive company cars)

* Evernote

* Mint.com

* Sprint TV (both live and pre-recorded)

* Calendars through Google can be synced and shared with everyone

Oh yeah, and Skype told Fring to quit supporting Skype on their app, so they had to remove Video Chat apparently. But you can still use Skype on UNLIMITED data. If your office needs data usage for a phone, AT&T would NOT be the choice unless the company is already grandfathered in for unlimited data.
[EVO 4G General] winvicta:
Uhm... an innovative one that thinks outside the box and acts within the bound?
[EVO 4G General] gthing:
First of all, there are plenty of options for tethering without rooting. Official options like the Evo's built in hotspot app and third party options like proxoid and pdanet. The ability to tether officially is great for business users who might need to use their laptops or whatever on the go.

Second, I don't believe Sprint has the right to tell you what you can do with your Internet connection. This is more of a philosophical point, but I believe it's a violation of net neutrality.
[EVO 4G General] Alya:
I think it depends on what your company does and what the phone is needed for at work. I work in the medical field and some we use alot are Google translate, epocrates (drug information), and printershare (download from phone to printer). I agree with some other but noticed these were not listed. Good Luck with your presentation.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
For business I'd show "Documents to go", "Printer share", "Sprint Nav", "color dictionary", "Vlingo", groups on phone book.

Do not show google skymap unless you install "snaptic compass" and calibrate your evo's magnetic sensor. Nothing like pointing 35˚ off the direction of the sun or moon.
[EVO 4G General] dagnasty:
One awesome app I have found is now in the market. Its the Official XBMC Remote. I use it to control my Xbox Media Center PC. I can queue up movies, tv shows, music whatever. I don't think the app is available for the iPhone
[EVO 4G General] Yedgy:
Not sure if these have been mentioned yet, but here goes:

1. Latest version of Vlingo

2. Google "qr code generator" and choose one. Create a few QR codes for business contacts, upcoming events, URLs, etc. Print them out and use Barcode Scanner to show how various bits of useful info can be stored graphically.
[HD2 General] hatchie:
After several problems with my HD2 which i first got in December last year, i sent it back to HTC for the third time. The main problem was a defective touch screen and the other wwas the haptic feedback stopping all the time.

I spoke to a customer service rep on the phone and explained my annoyance that my phone had been sent to HTC twice to repair the same things and i still had the problems. The guy on the phone assured me that the screen would be replaced and the haptic feedback repaired.

HTC had my phone for a week and a half and i got it back yesterday and guess what???? They sent me a replacement HD2. WAHHOO!!! Its about bloody time!

Looking at the installed applications, i noticed that it came with a few hotfixes installed and i don't know what they are. Does anyone out there know?

They are

Hotfix LEO08570

Hotfix LEO08604

Hotfix LEO08787_1.0

Hotfix LEO08491
[HD2 General] pablo11:
LEO08491 - Hot fix for LEO wrong task behavior.

LEO08570 - Hot-fix SA for LEO Audio Booster issue.

LEO08787_1.0 - Hot-fix for screen sensitivity

LEO08604 - I think this is the album hotfix
[HD2 General] hatchie:
pablo11, your a star, thanks mate
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
:rolleyes: Please try Googling for answers, this took me 0.20 to get an answer, and I didn't even have to click the first link to get the info you were after.
[HD2 General] kam333:
Hey

im with you on the search 1st thing, but if you look closely at the answer you got from google, its the answer posted by pablo11, so your search wouldnt have been so easy had the op not posted!!??

And yes i know... this post was as useful as yours ;)
[HD2 General] hatchie:
why use google when this forum is for passing on knowledge amonst other things?

I asked a question and I received an answer from a senior member who is willing to pass on his knowledge. Again, thanks to Paulo11 for replying and not saying "try searching" like i read in many other posts. Why does every member of XDA forums have the function to post a new thread if they weren't meant/allowed to ask questions.

Kalavere and Kam333, if you are bothered by people asking questions to which they don't know the answers, then please don't bother replying. It probably takes more effort you complaining about it then actually answering the initial question

Why have XDA if we can't ask questions??????????
[HD2 General] kam333:
hatchie

My only guess is that English isnt your 1st language so maybe some of my post was lost in translation???

I was actually

Defending Your Right

to post, i could spell it out but that might seem a bit patronising & i dont want to drag this out, hopefully you will read it again & get the point.

All the best!
[HD2 General] hatchie:
Kam333,

i sincerely apologise :(

i only read the first part of your post seeing that you agreed with Kalavere and got annoyed without reading the rest of your post. Again, i do apologise, please forgive me!
[HD2 General] kam333:
Hey hatchie

Dont take it so seriously, there's nothing to forgive, glad you got it. :)

p.s. it maybe a pipe dream but forums should be a friendly/ productive place & useless

unnecessary digs

at new members asking

legitimate

Q's shouldn't be encouraged IMHO. ;)
[HD2 General] hatchie:
Pablo11/kam333

Do you know where i can get these hotfixes from? I want to flash a custom rom but want these hotfixes in case i want to go back to the stock rom

Is it possible to extract these from my phone somehow?

Thanks
[HD2 General] kam333:
Hey

most of the hot fixes are listed on the HTC support site http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all

but you will find that most chefs are aware of these issues & almost all of the fixes are incorporated into the new roms.

if you want to be extra safe, invest in a decent backup app such as SPB or Sprite backup & backup before trying a custom rom, then if you decide to revert back to stock you can restore your setup using 1 of these tools. i personally use SPB which has saved a lot of time when going back to a previous rom.
[HD2 General] alexpatrick86:
Hello!

I have just received my phone back from HTC yesterday. I too had the twitchy screen problem and they agreed to sort it under warranty.

They told me they had replaced the mainboard as this was causing the problem. I booted it up and it did seem better, though when I looked I realised they have just installed the hot fix that slows it down and desensitises it. As soon as I reflashed the phone the screen problem is back so I’m not too happy.

People seem to say new HD2’s don’t have the twitchy screen problem. Is there a new screen part in the more recent ones? or if not what is the difference that means some people ahve twitchy screens and others don’t. I have had mine since day of release and HTC told me there was only one part number for the screen.

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] jokies:
maybe its your rom's fault?
[HD2 General] alexpatrick86:
Well it does it in all ROMs. It was only because they installed the hot fixes. and as people say, hot fix LEO08787_1.0 makes the phone a bit unresponsive.

Its hard to understand if ti is a hardware fault or just works differently based on the individual. if i literally hover my finger over the screen within a hairs width it starts jumping all over the place. Some people here say its a fault that needs returning, others say its just normal.

what do people think?put up and shut up or send back to HTC and nag for a new screen. it makes typing things very annoying. :(
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
It's a ROM issue, the screen responsiveness can be tweaked, I use Energy ROM and a few releases ago NRG tweaked the screen responsiveness so it was really awkward for me to use my keyboard SlideIT, as I moved my finger across the screen the line was oscillating everwhere. As soon as I flashed an updated ROM it fixed the sensitivity issue.
[HD2 General] hatchie:
alexpatrick86,

that was exactly the same problem i had with my first hd2. The first time it was sent back, they said that they had to reconnect a connector on the back of the screen......it came back exactly the same. The second time i sent it away, they reflashed the rom (seems a bit useless if you ask me, seeing as we can do that ourselves), and yet again, it came back exactly the same.

The third time i was told the screen was going to be replaced, however they sent me a new device. The new device did however, have the sensitivity hotfix (among others) installed. I have since flashed a custom rom (duttys) and the phone is working perfectly.

I would say that your screen needs replaced or the device replaced. give HTC a ring and complain until they get sick of you and send you a new phone!
[HD2 General] alexpatrick86:
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm too using the Energy ROM v10. I have used Duttys ROMS too but they were the same.

I have had the problem through out ownership of the device. It’s annoying buying such an expensive device and it having such a poor screen. I get the button flicking people demonstrate on YouTube where you press the backspace button and it selects U's, B's and all sorts. Or in notepad u press lightly and can see it draw a pretty scalagmite LOL.

HTC replaced the mainboard in my handset for me, so they must have thought something was wrong with it. So now my call timer is back at 20secs lol.

I just dont want the jitters, and i dont want reduced sensitivity as a substitue. :( Especially when some say they had it on devices bt susequent replacements didnt have it. Hmmmm
[HD2 General] alexpatrick86:
Thanks Hatchie! Thats what i will do! I can handle it been very sensitive and I can adjust, but having it jump every where and press buttons over an inch from my thumb makes it unusable and it just cant be right! And if ti is, then what were hTC thinking?
[HD2 General] BrianYost24:
hey everyone i just flashed a new radio and the power just went dead now it wont power up or anything and my battery was charged to about 90% so it cant be that.. i think some how i just broke my phone.. i mean if it were a software problem i could figure it out but this thing is just dead..
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yep, sounds like it, , did the radio have a 51 in the version number perchance? x.xx.51.x?
[HD2 General] nirvanafreak919:
the exact thing happened to me 2 days ago. mine even said from tmous after the radio... and it was .50 idk what the heck happened but i just ran it over and filed a claim. my phone came in the mail today. the deductable for the insurance was 130.. so be prepared for that.
[HD2 General] BrianYost24:
nope it was a 50... thats what gets me it should have worked ive flashed it numerous times in the past..
[HD2 General] BrianYost24:
and i have no insurance so i guess im out a hd2!
[HD2 General] smokeingit:
did you get it from tmobile? it has 1 year warranty
[HD2 General] BrianYost24:
nope i got it threw ebay
[HD2 General] BrianYost24:
it was brand new in a sealed box tho :o) lol it bites i didnt even have to change the radio i just wanted to see if another one would work better..
[HD2 General] BrianYost24:
i just wanted to let you guys know that i called tmo and my phone had temporary insurance after the two week period which i dont know how i guess the guy who i bought it from or something.. but anyway there shipping me a replacement for free all i have to pay is shipping! i reallyyyyy dodged a bullet and i made sure to add insurance to this phone lol
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
there is one ..50.. radio that also bricks like the ..51.. radios. 2.05.50.x

think its from an early test tmous rom or something.

update, i saw yesterday that there is also a 2.04.50.x radio around. i would guess that radio too will not work on tmous.
[HD2 General] BrianYost24:
yea thats the exact radio version i tried.. atleast i was lucky enough to be covered but someone should really remove that radio unless the get a kick outta people bricking there phone..
[Vibrant General] flexnix:
Call ahead of time.

Fun!

Phone feels great. Very impressed.
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
Some people kept saying it felt cheap but it does NOT feel cheap it feels well made but it doesn't feel as good as a Nexus One.

Some people said and showed on video that it was laggy but it was NOT when I tested it.

I like how thin it is and the XL Super AMOLED Screen :D
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
I also just demoed one. And sad to say it kills my nexus. The screen is absolutely gorgeous .... avatar was like blue ray quality and the 3d gpu really is nice.

I ran neocore and it was just amazing... the phone is light but does not feel cheap at all, actulmy very surprised after some reviews said its like a toy..

I'm selling my n1 now and getting g one as soon as I can
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
I sold my N1 Monday and been without a phone for a few days :(

I think some people say it feels cheap because of the weight and they think heavy phones are made with better materials, That's like saying the $750,000 Zonda F (witch is made of Carbon fiber) is cheap because it's lighter than most super cars .
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Where you sell your n1 and how much? I'm trying off craigslist trying to get 450... the vibrant is sweet..
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
$650 with the car dock and 300 apps on the SD
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
I targeted people over seas, that's were you will get the most money because most of those guys can't get it and the android phones they have don't have protected apps or paid apps in the market.
[Vibrant General] jdlorinser:

before i had my 3g internet running fine but my nephew got a hold of my phone and all of my T-Mobile Internet number and proxy is cleared. Does anyone know the correct T-Mobile settings for ACCESS POINT NAME and/or proxy server settings?

Also, my NETWORK MANAGEMENT is set to T-Mobile Internet then MY WORK NETWORK. is this right?

EDIT: for T-Mobile Internet I have the dialing number as "epc.tmobile.com" and the proxy server is "127.0.0.1"

for My Work Network the number is "7202542831" and there's no proxy server.
[HD2 General] srt4john:
epc.tmobile.com
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Uncheck the proxy server option there (under "T-Mobile Internet"), tmo doesn't use one.

The "My Work Network" settings really don't come into play for your regular data connections, so don't worry about those.
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
I am having problems where I get randomly booted off the network when trying to send/receive non-Outlook emails (yahoo, hotmail, etc) it tells me "error synchronizing" then takes me to the Connections settings tab. How do I fix this so it doesn't keep doing it?

OK, so I click "send/receive" in my Inbox, and a window pops up that says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connections settings, tap Settings."

So I tap settings, which takes me to a screen showing my existing connection profiles. T-Mobile Internet with the number "epc.tmobile.com" is active and the only one listed. So I click "edit", asks for a name, I'll leave it at "T-mobile internet". Select a modem is grayed out with Cellular line (GPRS) selected. I click "next"...asks for access point name with the epc.tmobile.com already in the box so I leave that alone and click "next"...now it asks for user name, password, and domain...all are blank...

It really does seem arbitrary...can't think of any apps I'm using at the same time...most of the time, just resetting it back to the same settings takes care of it.

This is the only recurring error I have with my stock HD2 and I would really like to fix this once and for all...

HELP???
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
[HD2 General] maxpower097:
Go look for the HTC connection wizzard cab for download. Install and run this and it will fix your settings for you.
[HD2 General] cjglenn99:
if that didnt work and your still getin booted off even though there is no password, still check the save password box in the settings. Then go into your connection manager a turn on your data manually. using "wap.voicestream.com" seems to work better for my sweet ass. but it just depends on what part of hell your in.
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
OK this is my only gripe with my HD2...connection and network.

Now, since I got back from a trip where I was on roaming, my email will not work. Every time I click send/receive, it gives me a "synchronization error" and takes me to the Connections Settings menu. I have it on "auto pick", and wap.voicestream.com and epc.tmobile.com as the choices, but still will not work. I tried the connection wizard on here also and still have this issue.

Help?

EDIT: Nevermind, going to the email settings and swtiching from T Mobile Internet to T Mobile Data in advanced settings fixed it. Now all 5 of my accounts are synching just fine over 3G.
