[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaIV:
Definitely decide what ROM you want to use first, then find out which kernels are supported. For example, I am on DamageControl 3.2.3 and running the DC Netarchy OC Kernel because it was tweaked specifically for the ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeren:
Does it matter in which order you install the ROM and kernel though?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
Most if not ALL ROMS include a kernel. So if you flash a different kernel, then flash the ROM, the different kernel you flashed will be lost. So in short; ROM then different kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastcfh:
most of the roms contain a stock kernel. the custom kernels for most of the roms are actually forks from the GoDmOdE community kernel. most of the time netarchy and the others kernel devs do beta testing of their changes before informing me to pull them in to the mainline kernel. this takes all the bugs and repeated commits out of the mainline and works them out before they are pulled in.

So I figured I'd start this just for kicks. I've been rooted less than a week and am about to load up my 3rd different one. Thought I'd see about everyone else.

I've had 5 or 6, but I've stopped using this phone until recently. Been pretty loyal to cursorsense.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chrisgto4:
Ive had my phone a lil over a year. Rooted about a month after buying. Flash probaly 4-5 roms a week every since. It's addicting. I did better getting off meth than I have kicking my rom addiction
[Captivate General] Chucky5150:
I'm trying to short through all my contacts. Put them in groups and all that good stuff.

I have all my gmail contacts in my phone, all ungrouped.I read that setting up the att address book helps with this problem. Only for the life of me I can't seem to set it up. I even found the user guide online. It says that when you first click on contacts that it should ask you for this n that. I don' recall doing any of that. Doesn't say anything on how to get back to it if you didn't do it the first time.

So, would someone help this no0b out please.

If there is a better way that I don't have to go through AT&T to get my contacts in groups please let me know.

Thank you.
[Captivate General] lionheartck:
Go into your contact list and click the Menu button, More, Settings, AT&T address book, click OK.

then go to att.com/addressbook. Register for a MEdia account if you don't have one. Then you can sign in and see them. The phone should automatically throw your contacts up on there, then you just have to organize them.
[Captivate General] shaneaus:
Or you can get on your computer, log into your Gmail account, select "Contacts," and use that interface to place them into groups.

It is very easy to do. You just need to look around the screen for the control buttons as they aren't always where you expect them. The benefit to doing this is that the interface is on your computer and easy to use.

Don't have any experience with the ATT contacts app.... I deleted EVERYTHING I could that was proprietary ATT as most of that stuff costs more money and much of it doesn't work as well as the stock apps anyway!
[Captivate General] Chucky5150:
That doesn't seem to work.

This is what I have for my brother.

Groups: Starred in Android, Family (taken from my gmail contact)

I have zero contacts in my Family group.

Cant they track it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowDrake:
You could sell it, but that's kinda morally objectionable.

Plus it will be flagged as having a bad ESN, so it won't be able to be activated on Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x iFLaWz:
Yea But cant you still use it??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdcrds:
the point is you can do what you want but sprint is not going to let it be put on a line.The ESN has been blacklisted so if you want to use it as a music player or whatever you want that does not use phone service or data then yes but as a phone No.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looneylu:
I will buy it for forty dollars!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emalia:
Once you lose a phone, Sprint places it on a lost/stolen list. If you sell it, the purchaser will not be able to activate it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mebo73:
Sell on ebay and state has bad esn
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja984:
I think if you only went through asurion the phone might still work. I had a phone that was lost and I did it through the website and i gave the phone to someone else when i found it and they told me that it activated. So maybe have a friend try and see if it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathaflores:
Ill Buy it for $50 dollars, no questions ask!! I want to start into development roms, and ill be good for me!!!:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyabiziz:
Why even ask a question like that? Once you accepted the condition to file the claim then the phone belongs to the insurance company. The only sense to this question is that you want to know if you will be in any kind trouble.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legendr34:
i thought the same thing too when i lost my phone in the movie theatre after it fell out of my pocket. I filed a claim and got the replacment then i was able to find my lost phone shortly after. i checked the ESN and it was still clean. i was surprised but now i have two evos. You can always call them and check if its still a valid esn.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorCal:
Because I don't want to cause anyone any undo trouble. I would like to get my deductible back so I will say bad esn on eBay for $100 as another forum member sugested. Thank you for all input into this discussion.

You certainly can activate it still.

I lost my TP2 and got a new one thru insurance and then Sprint called me and told me someone turned in my lost tp2.

I reactivated my original the second I got home. I sold the new TP2. I called Sprint and they told me I was supposed to send the lost one to the insurance but it was up to me. They didn't really care.

Moral wrong..yes... doable .. yes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajac:
if you call ausrion and get a replacement phone they send you another one out but by law or sprint policy (not sure which its to early for me to google it a few sprint employees have told me though) they cant contact sprint and flag it as bad ESN your suppose to do that yourself. So you can activate the old one if you like with 0 issues. Been their and have done it. (on accident found the missing phone like a week or 2 later) sold it to a friend and he is still using it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dees_Troy:
There are methods to make a phone work on another carrier if it has a bad ESN on Sprint. Cricket and Metro PCS are the carriers that are most commonly used in the US. I actually bought an Evo on Craigslist a while back for a good price. It wasn't listed as lost/stolen, but it was still tied to a suspended Sprint account. I later sold it on eBay for $360 and listed it with a bad ESN and a bad headphone jack. I think the guy I sold it to was planning on using it in Mexico.

Even without activation, an Evo makes a pretty nice MID on Wifi. Just be warned that most Android devices won't connect to an ad-hoc Wifi network, so it's hard to tether it to another phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
You could sell it for more than $100. Can't you hack it to work with VZW PRL? Maybe that'll sell for more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownhornet:
Technically you could sell it to someone on metro pcs or cricket.. they dont care about esn's being blacklisted they'll activate it anyway.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skantman69:
Oh God the moral police is here. Its a very valid question. I would do the same damn thing this Guy is doing. Just think of it as a way to recover that 10 dollars extra a month we are ALL getting hosed for every month.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
The "moral" thing to do is call the insurance company, explain that you found your old phone and you would like to return the phone and get your deductible returned as well.

I would think they would go for it as they make out in the end.

And you can sleep at night knowing they won't catch on to you some day and deactivate your phone. (highly doubt that could ever happen, but I tend to have a really guilty conscience. what's a $100 anyway.....)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja984:
I don't think they refund you the deductible even if you return the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyabiziz:
No its not a valid question! TOC does require the phone if found to be returned because once a replacement is issue then the lost device no longer belongs to you. Try reading sometimes, knowledge is power.:rolleyes: Its sad to see your logical is "if I feel that i'm being done wrong then i'll do it to someone else" LOL still upset about the $10 fee. I do still have a Sanyo 200 that doesnt even have EVDO and I can sell it to you and you will not be charged the $10 monthly fee. Im was stating that the OP was just asking to how do the wrong thing the right way.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Meh.

I just have a few questions:

Responders:

Is anyone here other than the OP truly going to be affected by this? (and not in some metaphysical, can't be felt, it affects the market way) :rolleyes:

Does anybody here truly care what this guy does with his phone?

It seems like people enjoy wasting time arguing over the philosophy of right vs wrong when the guy has probably already made up his mind over what he is going to do.

OP:

Is it illegal to not report the found phone? Yes.

Will Sprint penalize you? Probably (almost definitely) not.

It's your choice what you do with it. I have a conscience, therefore I would return it, knowing that somewhere down the line I'll probably benefit from it.

At the very least call the insurance company and ask them what they would like you to do. You MIGHT even end up with an agent who doesn't even care. (I mean really, judging by the posts on this board it probably doesn't happen very often)

You have to make the call for yourself.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
This has to be the stupidest thread ever. You are in direct breach of contract of a legally binding contract by not returning a found phone to Asurion. Read the contract, that's what they are for. If they find out you sold it, you can be liable for the full price $500, plus fines and legal problems. So ask yourself, is it really worth all that for a few bucks?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
Insurance fraud in many places is a class c felony. FYI. You probably won't get caught but if you did the pain in your ass will be pretty severe.

Also Skantman69, you remind me of a small child having a temper tantrum. Go take a **** and relax man no need to go full retard over what that guy posted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudewithnofood:
I think you may be able to tell sprint that you found it and they might make it possible to activate it again. If sprint will let it be activated on their network again I'd be willing to buy it as I lost my Evo too and haven't been lucky enough to find it :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReallyShawn:
I see the situation as a basic contract between the op and the insurance company. If the op honestly filed a claim, he has nit committed a fraud. Now, once the lost phone was found, the question is is there a contractual obligation to return the found phone? Only if the contract says so. I don't have the contract text here, but it must say you are required to return it or not. That is the simple answer.

Now, if the question is should I steal $10 just because I likely won't get caught? My answer would be no ... so if the contract says return it, do the right thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbuskard:
Not to sound like a jerk but when you report a phone lost or stolen to sprint they mark the imei so if someone does find it they can't activate it. So trying to sell it would just blow up in your face because the buyer won't be able to activate it and then the name calling and blacklisting will ensue. Well my kid just pooped his pants, time to go
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
the real moral thing to do is do what makes you feel comfortable. don't worry about what others think. if you aren't breaking a law or don't care if you are then activate it or sell it.

asurion and sprint are two different companies. i don't beleive asurion has access to your esn or anything to do with your sprint account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geno1317:
Asurion is not morally corect either in my opinion. The same thing just happened to me. Once before I dropped my phone in a glass of water and never thought it would work. I filed a claim not thinking the rice thing would actually work. Well it worked. Before my new refirbished phone was ever even shipped they would not cancel my claim. Thats not morally correct. I still had to pay them my $100 and send back my perfectly good cell phone to be stuck with a refirbished one. Thats not how insurance works. If I think Im having a heart attack and go to the ER and start to fill out my paperwork and I decide its heartburn and change my mind. Do I still need to pay my co pay. If someone hits my car and when the claim adjuster shows up the dent actually popped out with no signs of damage is the auto insurance going to force me to make a claim? NO. There is absolutely no reason that if you find your phone that you should not be able to send the new refirbished phone back with the price of shipping and get your $100 back. How can they force me to send my perfectly good phone back. SELL IT. Screw them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
You make some good points, but I just think that I would try to be the better person and not do what I knew was wrong. God knows and in my efforts to best serve the Lord I'm always going to choose what I know is right, or at least try too. Just because someone else is doing wrong, doesn't mean that I should retaliate by doing them wrong. They are the ones who will be judged, not me. Sorry if this offends anyone, it's just my personal belief.

OP-Do the right thing, just call the insurance company and tell them exactly what happened. Good things happen when you do the right thing.

EDIT: Just realized that this thread is a couple months old, oh well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoatt:
Hello, I really need some help with some email problems here with my nexus 1 (att 3g vers).

It has NOT been rooted, and has android 2.2 installed (prefer to not root btw).

Anyway, the problem is in regard to the android EMAIL app (don't know it's name, but it's the icon of the envelope and yellow @ symbol in it).

I've set it up to handle my other email accounts (comcast and godaddy accounts) - not Gmail. Everything is setup finally and working fine...but for one problem...

once an email arrives, i get the notification...go to read it, BUT - then after reading it...it's then moved to the trash

automatically

(the trash in the email app that is, it's not removed from the server.

Driving me nuts - it's no longer in the inbox area of the email app, for each and every account). Each email just automatically disappears (goes to the trash) upon my reading it one time.

I can go to the trash folder and read, but this is ridiculous...shouldn't I be the one moving emails to the trash?

Can anyone suggest a fix here, or know of anything I can do to stop this?

I see no settings to change this...it's a serious bug.

Or...is there a better email app (one like this, as I do like the look and feel of this one built into android 2.2) that I should be using?

I downloaded K-9 email (but really hate it's look, feel and operation compared to this one).

Maybe there is something I'm not getting here though and need to change?

It's very strange that ea email would move to the trash upon 1st reading it.

thanks for any help here
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoatt:
also, i have tried searching this site for this problem with zero luck...

but i can't be the only one seeing this issue, right?

again: these accounts are my comcast and godaddy email accounts (not gmail, hotmail, etc).

thanks again
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
sorry man, I tried looking at my settings to see if theres anything I can suggest. Nada...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoatt:
update to my Q:

Ok, doyeee

I think I know what's going on....

I was just setting comcast and godaddy accounts up and had the the email apps open on my PC at the same time while running tests.

When I did email tests, and having the PC email apps open for the same accounts...after they download to the PC is when they will go to the trash on the nexus email (not staying in INBOX on nexus when the PC email app has downloaded them).

This might be standard (I don't know as this is finally the first phone able to handle emails like this.

Hmm, i'd sure prefer it if all emails could remain in the inbox (or some other folder other than trash) as I can't hit "reply" once they're in the trash should I later want to reply to the same email with more info later on mobile.
[HD2 General] KeithRVA:
I'm not sure if this has been discussed, I did a forum search but found nothing. Just like the title says, when I take a photo with my HD2 using the camera flash, the photo has a weird green tint. Photos taken without the flash look fine. I have gone into the camera settings and played with the contrast, saturation, and sharpness settings but this didn't really solve the problem. Strange thing is, right after I take the photo, it goes into preview mode and I can see the photo with the green tint...after a few seconds it goes back to the camera. But in the split second before it goes back, I can see the photo without the green tint and it looks perfect! But only for a second and the saved photo is GREEN :confused:

Ive had green tint in some photos when ive changed the camera iso to 800 and forgotten to lower it or put it into auto when going into a brightly lit environment. basically seems like the sensor or amps/ADC are being overloaded.

Check your iso setting, try it in either auto or iso100 and see if you still have the problem

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] electrikjesus:
I would have to say this is one of the worst issues I have found yet with android. Others who have the same phone don't have this issue. but I do. WiFi just doesn't work on my device. I have all the latest releases. Hell, I have been able to use every feature meant for rhodium but WiFi. It is a persistant issue with my device.

I even tried repartitioning my sdcard to see if that helps. but no luck. The last release I was able to use Wifi with was the first release of the sense ui 2.1

When I mention this on IRC, I am pretty much ignored, People think it is because I don't know what I am doing. I beg to differ. I have been able to offer valid advice and solutions for most of the questions i come across.

My device is a T-MO TP2, with a 4gb sdcard. and colored send and end buttons.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] starmena:
Possible fixes for issue include's deleting your data.img located in your andboot folder of the Sdcard and deleting your cache folder usually located (If I'm not mistaken) on the root of the SDcard.

If the above method does not work then you may want to try a fresh install by deleting all android related files or reformatting your SDCard but I'm sure this will do the trick. I've had that issue before.

You don't really have to. If your Router supports it then switch the encryption type to WPA instead of WEP. WPA encryption has been reported to somehow work with this build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] smurfgod:
SO drop from WEP to WPA?? I'll try that and post back..Thanks mna.
