funny thing is that the rep didn't make a false statement. if it doesn't come tomorrow, it will inevitably have to come later this summer. it can't come sooner this summer. or right now this summer.

But! this thread has got me thinking on some threads that I think I'll start ...

1. "i just got off the phone with verizon tech support and he spent 10 minutes trying to find a "touchscreen sensitivity calibration" menu because "it would help with my proximity sensor malfunction".

2. "i just got off the phone with verizon tech support and they told me that I had to replace my Dinc with a refurbed Droid because refurb dincs wouldn't be in stock for a month"

3. "i just got off the phone with verizon tech support for the 2nd time today and Surprise! refurb dincs are in stock and my replacement is on the way."

4. "i just got off the phone with verizon tech support and he thought froyo was frozen yogurt."

bottom line: don't listen to tech support. just tell them what to do.

Bear in mind that VZW tech support knows just about as much as anyone on the forum... perhaps even less. They are not privy to the information, so they pass along whetever rumor they've heard. Those that are "in the know" don't deal with customers.

[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
FYI: I read that the Droid got root after the 2.2 OTA via that new market app.

Also, I know the Incredible is already the better device but/so why update the Droid first? Makes no Sense to me. First the shipping delays, now they want us to wait while the old ass Droid gets updated. I guess VZW figures they already have gotten the Incredible users to sign new contracts, so they aren't going anywhere.

Also I sent a tweet to HTC asking 'when are we getting updated because I'm tired of running these buggy leaked ROMs.'

They tweeted:

"A small reminder that when SW updates are ready, HTC or your carrier will notify you. Unofficial software can create future issues."
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreamcruz:
I recently bought this phone from a guy on craigslist since I could not pick it up anywhere in my are or via sprint.com

Anyways when I picked up the phone and checked it out booted it up it loaded a screen that brought me here... XDA Developers EVO 4G. I asked the whats this and he said that the phone was rooted.... I have no idea what that means and what to do now with the new 2.2 froyo update that just came out. From what I have heard and gathered from here is that it is possible to brick my phone.

I need some serious help with this issue.

Here is what I see in the about phone/Software Information

Firmware Version

2.1-update1

Baseband Version

2.05.00.06.10

Kernel Version

2.6.29

jdubzXhero-baked #8

Build number

1.47.651.1 Backed Snack

Software Version 1.47.651.1

Browser Version

Webkit 3.1

PRI Version

1.34_003

PRL Version

60668

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I would like to update to the 2.2 and restore the original software.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedoubbledonkey:
So you want to lose root? Or you just want stock 2.2 Rooted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreamcruz:
I would like to go back to the stock set up. But wouldn't mind doing the 2.2 rooted but I am afraid I will brick my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedoubbledonkey:
It's not very easy to brick your phone. This was the first phone I've ever rooted and these devs make it very easy. I would say if you're already rooted you should play around with some of the 2.2 roms on the development section. As long as you read the instructions correctly you should be fine. there's ways to restore your phone to a previous setup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongoface:
You can go back to unrooted by why? It is very simple to load a stock froyo rom that it rooted. Read some pages here. You will be able to use wifi tether for free and have 55 frames per second making the phone snappier. The hardest part is done for you aka the rooting process. BTW Sprint bricked more phones than people that tried to root there phone. Rooting does not cause brick. Bricking phones happens mostly when pulling the battery while the phone is updating or flashing a new rom. Good Luck hope you stick with the root. Because you will want it rooted later lol

Edit: Did I mention way better battery life than you will ever get with any of sprints/htc roms
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
you wont brick your phone, seems you are rooted and all set to do all you have to do is flash a custom or stock rom of your choice. PM me and ill help you out
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedoubbledonkey:

[Desire General] lyleuk:
My phone doesn't seem to have any data connection when "3G" shows, but works amazingly on "H" and just about bareable on "G". "E" shows occaisionally and doesn't seem to have internet access either.

When loading a web page for example, if it starts on "H" it will start loading, if it switches over to "3G" halfway through loading, it will hang and nothing will continue until it switches back to "H".

I've found many, many threads on similar issues on here, but wondering if anyone experiences this exact same problem.

I'm thinking my telco's (Vodafone Australia) default APN settings that are pushed to the phone arn't very compatible with android.
[Desire General] contrary:
same for me. if it is 3g it waits till get h then loads... mine is t mob uk, probably because of them...

[EVO 4G General] Hax0rpunk:
This started happening to me about a week ago, I run an app such as Google maps or nav and it works just fine. But when I close the app and the phone stops actively using the GPS, it reboots.

I do not think this has anything to with my current rom/kernel as i tried multiple ones even stock, and the problem still occurs.
[EVO 4G General] meatless:
This started happening to me very soon after I applied the leaked 2.2 update. Keeping the GPS off has caused me from getting stuck in a reboot loop.

Post #2 in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746247 alludes to Sprint resetting the GPS or something to that effect. I am going to give that a try as soon as I can get on mainstream 2.2.
[HD2 General] Zorlac01:
My apologies for not finding this answer in the forum here, but as a new LEO owner, I'd like to find out exactly what version of Opera mobile my phone came with. Is there a revision number or version of Opera somewhere in my device?

thanks....
[HD2 General] Proz00:
mostly should be version 9.7
[HD2 General] Zorlac01:
So there is NOT a way to tell, just sorta guess because the phone is new?

I'm asking cuz I have NO flash abilities no Turbo mode, but DO have PTZ.

If I have 9.7 I guess the next upgrade is 10 for Opera.

I gotta say, this device is the nutz, but WM really blows. I'm considering sending back for a Samsung Vibrant since I'm still under guarantee and W7 mobile will NOT be offered for TMoUS. I verified this with my local provider.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
In Opera, go to the options (the right most icon) and go to 'Help', then select the 'About' link.

Why do you need to find out what version of Opera you have?
[HD2 General] buzz killington:
It comes with 9.7 but I'm pretty sure it's a customized version for the hd2. There are features on it that's just not available on Opera Mobile 10 - I tried a whole bunch of browsers and decided I prefer 9.7 over any of them. You can certainly try it yourself, OM 10 won't upgrade your 9.7, it'll be a separate install.

If you want a taste of Android go check out the android section for the HD2, it's come a long way and you can get froyo right now :)

would you happen to know?
[General Accessories] jrwingate6:
ClearFreak is probably the only screen protector I haven't tried. I just asked the same thing you did in another thread. I just ordered some ClearFreaks though so I will let you know.

After further testing I cannot recommend this product to owners of the Galaxy S phones. The actual screen still remained super responsive but the capacitive buttons on the bottom noticeably lost some sensitivity.

I can still recommend these screen protectors to anyone without capacitive buttons. It goes on great and is not visible. You can barely even see it when the display is turned off.
[Desire General] lyleuk:
Any way of getting a bug wiki for the desire so we can get some attention to some of the most annoying bugs?

Some sort of "Yes, I also have this problem" or "No, this problem doesn't exist for me" would be handy to measure the extent of the bugs.

Ideally, a profile for each Desire owner including network, country, rom, os and dynamic application list would allow the cause of bugs to be easily recognised from the responses to "Yes, I also have this problem"

Am I dreaming? Some web designer with too much time on their hands might be able to help? Haha.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp43:
I searched the forums for a solution to this problem - I found that using Titanium Backup to download a new version of busybox would correct this issue, but it's still failing when I try to fix permissions from ROM Manager Premium.

When I used TiB to install busybox, it installed to /system/xbin/busybox...I put the phone in recovery mode, and from adb I pulled busybox down, and pushed it back to /system/bin

Still no luck....

From ROM Manager, I'm not able to fix permissions. This is happening after I applied someone's patch (I forgot which one) that replaces superuser with version 2.1 that's supposed to be more compatible with this 2.2 leaked build (3.16.605.0 CL203589 release-keys)

Any ideas how I can correct this issue?

I tried clearing superuser permissions 2.1's data, and when I try to fix permissions, I clicked allow, and remember. Still no luck.

Has anyone seen this issue, and been able to correct it? Perhaps I'm not using the right version of superuser permissions? If not, where can I find the correct version?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp43:
Well, I guess I've resolved the issue by reverting to an earlier backup from Monday.

Lesson learned - always make backups!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luniz7:
Glad the backup solved the issue. The su 2.1 works fine btw, I don't know why someone would have a patch? Its just a zip that you flash through recovery....anyway glad you got everything worked out.

Sorry, I am always so confused in trying to Navigate XDA. I have searched, with no luck.

Why does everyone have to be a first class jerk? Ok, he didn't find a topic. If you don't live on message boards these can be very confusing to look at especially the vBulliten ones like this one is. It's hard to find things and frustrating to search. Everyone is spending so much time trying to be the cool kid that people have forgotten the simple things. If you are pissed because someone is asking the same thing, then don't enter the topic. Continue to stay in the threads that you were in to begin with, because your uber-coolness is useless anyway as you never answer the thread. I can't believe how offended that one guy was who had put in tons of links in his thread. How long did it take you to search then copy and past 4 different links? Going back and forth between screens and offering nothing useful to the topic. Those messages should be deleted, not the ones who are just asking honest questions. Call it what you want, laziness, stupidity, whatever, someone asked a question, answer it as best you can or move on.

****!

Anyway, onto my question, Froyo is a giant waste of time and energy. My battery is dying and my Evo specific piano key sounds for volume up and down have been replaced by generic Android volume sounds. How do I get my sweet piano keys back?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TF1984:
Actually I have rooted three Evos. One from original launch software and two after having the June update.

I am running as much customization on mine as anyone, custom rom, removed multiple system apps, replaced splash and boot, switched task bar, modified system icons, hacked swype app and lots of other stuff. Actually I am a top member on AF forums but honestly XDA is really confusing to me. I can't tell which threads are sticky, which are wiki, which are guides, shoot I can't even figure out where the regular forum is.

But thanks for your extensive help Dbag.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TF1984:
Thank you Foxhound. On my home forum (Androidforums) users that reply like these guys are handled with a "special touch". But I guess on XDA, or at least on this particular thread - no one gives a crap about infringement, negative comments or blatant obnoxiousness. Whatev.

Yeah stock froyo sucks. I am however enjoying my Fresh 3.1.0.1, but a couple of friends would like to have it as well which is why I posted my question to begin with.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfoxhound:
I've been all over the web and haven't found anything yet about a successful root of 2.2. I'm sure its just a matter of time. I'm going to stop looking and just resume in a couple weeks I really only want access to the wifi tether but without paying the outrageous 30 a month that sprint wants.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Sheesh,

Ok so the wiki, its in a sticky. It says "wiki" in the title, when you get there the guides are under a section called "Guides" sometimes they call them "How to's" so watch out for that. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Usually questions go in the "Q and A" forum. Oh and in the actual thread title you might see a [Q] which means question. Also there is a post at the top of each forum that says "How to use these forums" or something close to that anyway, there is lots of info in there as to how to navigate XDA. Sorry my last post wasn't helpful in navigating xda. I hope this one helps you out a little more.

Have a great day, good luck with the 2.2 root!

Coming October 1st, Sprint is opening up its SERO exclusivity to allow for Android phone upgrades.

The cost for upgrading to a non-4g phone is an additional $10 per month.

The cost for upgrading to a 4g phone is an additional $20 per month ($10 for a "non-WM" phone and $10 for the 4g tax just like the EVO and upcoming Epic).

I just called up Sprint and verified it through the CSR person I spoke to. She said that this information has been given out company-wide recently so everyone should know about it.

Here are some links to check for discussions about this (pulled from SlickDeals).

Even though I'm afraid that this news is going to scavenge users from our community, I think a lot of people are going to be excited about this. Especially since dzo has said that he's going to be moving on from a Vogue in the near future. *sigh*

I know I'm definitely looking forward to it since I'm dreading the day dzo moves on. Haha!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dassin4:
I don't think there was a dedicated thread, but this was discussed a bit in the Wildfire Rom thread.

Anyway, I am definitely looking forward to it. While Android (2.2) is running pretty great on my Vogue, it would be even better to have a native phone with an accelerometer and possibly a slide-out keyboard (I'm unsure if I will get a used Hero or something else at this point.)

I am pretty stingy though, so while I think I could do another $10, I'm not sure about the $20 :P It would be hard for me to justify increasing my cell phone bill by 66%!
