I respect your opinion, but in this case, I could not disagree more.

Sprint advertised 10x 3g speeds. When you advertise something and people buy based upon that advertising, all the while knowing your advertising is a lie, that's called false advertising and it could be the basis of a very ugly and expensive class-action lawsuit if enough people were so inclined. Even if you had no case, the discovery alone would cost Sprint a fortune in preparing their defense. And, you might just turn up something they don't want anyone to know. They would settle, I promise you.

If you advertise a car at 40 mph and I buy it based upon that promise only to learn that it really only gets 20 mpg, do you then say that I have no case because I didn't have to buy the car?

No, this is clear and intentional fraud. Words have meaning.

I have some experience in these things as my sister is an attorney. If you want satisfaction on something like this, you don't mess with the front line gnomes, you go straight to the supervisor, then the manager, then you asked to be transferred to the office of the CEO (yes, CEO's have the own private customer service department).

Once you get to the office of the CEO, you would be amazed how they will bend over backward to make you happy.

** P.S., Regarding the speed depending upon location, I tested it right in the middle of a 4g zone with full bars. Ran 10 tests using 2 different apps and my average speed was about 2.5 mbps. My point is, since 4g is capable of 50 and they promised us 6 and they are delivering 2.5 they are holding out on us.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
I assure you that a corp like sprint covered their bases advertising-wise. Find me and add that claims 10x 3g speeds that doesn't say "up to" or have fine print explaining that speeds might be slower.

However, in regards to the fooling around with customer service, believe you me, I understand that fully. I have two evos, one given to me by Best Buy corporate customer service when they fudged up, and the other given to me by Sprint to apologize for Best Buy's treatment.

Hey Mike,

Try this. It's version E from the circle mod thread.

Works on my EVO with Fresh 3.5.

I wiped cache/dalvik, but don't know if that's critical.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
You are correct that I did flash the vanilla lock screen but I flashed the one without the clocks. The same one I've used for the last 3 Fresh Roms and the alarm clock snooze/dismiss ALWAYS worked.

This is the first time I've had this issue. Is this new to the current rom? The issue that is?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
That's your problem.

You need to flash the one WITH the clocks. The stock vanilla clock calls upon the stock android apps, not the htc ones, so you have to replace htc's with stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PeoplesHelper:
you said reflashing radios work for you...just found out my nav doesn't work, maps work:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
I agree Clockwork isn't crap but you are wrong in that it works just as well as Amon-Ra for one Clockwork doesn't wipe cache and dalvik correctly, two it hasn't yet been updated to work with the new HBOOT's because of the new partition tables, three It doesn't Back up the WiMax partition. I know Koush is working on it now even opened a thread to find out what needs to be fixed and i'm sure when he is done with it, it will be ten times better, as for Rom Manager its great but the Rom list needs to be updated some of the roms don't download anymore at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] firemedic1343:
Well...just make sure you do at least 1 nandroid in Amon Ra. After that, Clockwork is just fine. I like Clockwork a lot, great contribution it be.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PAPutzback:
Can someone point me to the wired tethering option. The integrated setting is disabled. I just rooted and flashed this ROM about 2 hours ago and still trying to catch up to where everything is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tekeeladude:
I booted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache and this made navigation start working. Maps and directions were working ok prior to wiping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfbo:
Ok since we're all getting silly in here, let me ask you this......how does a Corporation get away with charging it's customer for a service that doesn't exist in their area?

If a class action lawsuit ever comes along against Sprint, I'm thinking those people will have an argument. And the, "who forced you to buy that phone" argument doesn't fly either. If I'm pissed at Sprint for anything it would be that......living in NNJ we're just now beginning to see 4G spread into the area.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Mitchell but last night after discovering for the first time that 4G exists down the road from my home I did a speedtest..........Well, I'll let the image below speak for itself. :eek: :D So unless the speeds are down everywhere, I'm not sure they'll ever be a case for their advertised speeds.

[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
Normally dont post in the ROM threads because I find everything works perfectly.

But reading this thread gave me quite a scare since it seems some people are having issues with 4G after updating to 3.5.0.1 and flashing new radios.

Just wanted to let people know that I took the plunge anyway because Flipz has never intentionally screwed people (as far as I know).

I didnt want to flash via the fresh updater so I downloaded all the files (3 separate zips) separately and then loaded it onto my SD card.

Used Amon-Ra to flash all three (one after the other after a full reboot) and everything is working perfectly at this point. I'm able to connect to 4G and have good signal.

GPS took a LONGGGGG time to find my location, but after waiting 15-30min, it is picking up my location. This was the case on 3.5 even though another Evo running 3.4.0.1 was able to pick up its location within seconds of booting into google maps. But other than that, I have no other issues to report.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Toxin715:
Make sure you turn off data sync not just gps, it cuts off those runaway apps that you make have
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
That photo is private btw, so no one can see it.

And the argument that no one forced you to buy the phone is the ultimate argument. It is clearly presented by Sprint that the Evo came with the charge, and it was very clearly stated that not everywhere had 4G. There are stations set up in a lot of sprint stores that tell you if your area has 4G, and part of their site is dedicated to it. So actually, if you didn't check, and 4G is isn't in your area, then sadly you are a sheep consumer and it is your own fault.

God that sounds harsh, but people need to get smarter when the decisions involve hundreds of dollars
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfbo:
My ONLY request (for now :)) for the developer is if there is any chance of adding a 4G button (or the 4G tap2scan) onto the notification screen?!?

I'd much rather have that than the flashlight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Toxin715:
BINGO!!! Never know 4G might come to your area soon, when LA got 4G i was pretty happy. No more ****ty COLLEGE wifi for ME!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfbo:
Actually it sounds more arrogant than harsh to me.

A lot of people bought this phone for more than just 4G capability, IPhone aside, it created a pretty big splash in the market for those who wanted a larger media phone. Did Sprint count on people being so fascinated over a phone that had an unavailable feature in some cities....you bet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
OK, went to Best Buy and got a new phone. Round 2. Fight!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Haha it doesn't matter how it sounds, my logical point is still 100% valid. I really am sorry that some people made the mistake of buying the Evo wanting 4G, but who didn't check to see if they had it in their area.. Kind of.

I have less pity for the potential people you are referencing who bought a phone based on capabilities besides 4G, and complain about the fee. It wasn't a hidden fee, it was up front. It was explicitly stated that 4G wasn't everywhere, and most Sprint stores would discuss that with you. If you got some store that didn't, again, I kind of pity you, but it had to have come up when the point of the extra cost the account would incur surfaced. It's ridiculous that people are even posing an argument to this.

"A lot of people bought this phone for more than just 4G capability"

^^First, that doesn't change anything. Second, as long as you are going there, actually, more than 3/4 of the ad campaign were 4G centered. I'll link about 5 ads if you want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kccasey:
SprintsArguement over the fee is that the $10 Premium Data Fee is for have a 4G phone. No matter who I've talked to, they tell me the same thing, as a side note, its a shame that this is the ONLY thing I've ever found with sprint to be on the same page with. Usually NO ONE at sprint is on the same page as everyone else. Regardless, going back to my point, they say the fee is because these phones have the potential to utilize MUCH more data than most others because of the many additional Powerful features the phone has. However, it's pretty apparent based on other information that sprint Pays Clearwire a portion of each $10 fee that is charged to Sprints Customers. So you tell me what is the truth and what isn't.

Technically sprint doesn't have the ability to just waive this fee because they are in contract with Clearwire for Clearwire to get a portion of every $10 charged, so there is no way around this fee. HOWEVER, sprint DOES have the the ability to provide a seperate $10 recurring credit as well to it's customers. or at least a partial credit since sprint does pay clearwire as well.

Hey does anyone know where I can get the version A circle battery mod that works with Fresh 3.5.0.1?

Version A is the one where the circle looks like the attached photo.

I'm just recovering from a stupid bootloop after installing version A, which was supposed to work with dedoexed 3.70 roms and afraid to install any other versions i find on xda, without someone affirming that it works with 3.5.0.1. the version E that was previously attached works for 3.5.0.1 (on page 765) but I dont like the look or color scheme...

Thanks in advance!

Hehe sorry I'll quit. Hypocritical of me, considering I'm always getting on to others about that.

Evo wont turn on!

Now that i had fresh 3.5 i used my rom manager to install the radios zip after install my phone didn't reboot correctly. It instead came up with a side view of an evo with an exclamation mark through it. Now My EVO won't even turn on or charge battery, I can't boot into bootloader either. Any help would be greatly appreciated...?:confused:

by the way I used amon recovery through rom manager bc clockwork wasn't intially working!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Hey man, do you have any idea why my sdcard won't mount on this rom? It works for like an hour then just quits mounting - reminds me of a girl I dated - ba-dump-pa. Some people have said that my Titanium restore might have messed with the /system/framework but I only restored data for individual apps so I doubt that. Also, the mounting did work for a while after the restore, so...

No hardware problems as it mounts fine in recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
EDIT: This seems to work for most mounting issues... I'd also suggest a shower and learning how to make your significant other happy :P

I haven't heard of that before lol..

Um let's see. You have obviously rebooted..

Honestly without searching for individual SD fixes, all I can think of is to nand/titanium, wipe everything and see if it works. If it does, then just titanium restore, if not, reformat SD. I'm going to go search to see if I can find a better answer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:

4G doesn't work at upgrading to 3.5.1

4g worked fine until I updated to the new version 3.5.1. It says that it's connecting, then it drops. I updated the ROM and then the new radios / PRI. I've read through the forum but didn't see a resolution, just lots of people having the same issue. Has anyone figured out how to correct it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
Check your keys (look near end of post for instructions), if they are there then you'll need to wipe and reflash to correct the issue.

Hey, when you guys plug the phone to your computer's USB, does it always go into disk mode?

Mine does every time. Even tho it shows that it's in charge mode when I first plug it in, it still goes into disk mode. I have to go in, select disk mode and then select charge mode to make take it off of disk mode.

Can someone test to see if this happens on your phone too?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitch Matrixx:
Leave it alone already...

Sprint also made it quite clear that this $10 charge is a "Premium Data" fee, and not specifically a "4g" fee.

They have lifted the cap of of data use, which technically means you could leave your Evo on download for 24hrs a day 7 days a week if your really wanted to, and that would be your right as a consumer.

Clearwire notwithstanding... Contracts and all. Why are people still discussing this? It's $10, and you get to watch YouTube vids in fullscreen. FTW.

It doesn't matter what the "truth" is Agent Mulder, the $10 fee is common knowledge, and hardly the entrapped boogie man some people are making it out to be.

Better call in Jesse Ventura on this one.

BTW, I'm not sure how any of this relates to Flipz rom at all but point made.:eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitch Matrixx:
Thanks Meng

Gman,

Thanks a ton.

After flashing this kernel earlier today, I've now only lost roughly 25% battery after being unplugged for about 8hrs. and using the Evo for several phone calls and intermittent Wifi use. This is the way it used to be before I did this (3.5) update, and I was mystified as to the new drainage.

MS's page is also very informative, and sheds lots of light as to why the phone drops it's initial 15-20% so rapidly.

As a dedicated Fresh rom user, I would highly recommend cruising to the post above and updating your kernel to MS's newest kernel (12-23) edition.

Not only does it have Havs, and other battery saving programming goodies, but the charging code actually takes your battery to it's full charging level etc.

My Evo now behaves like a laptop on battery power, slowly losing a percent here and there, instead of a feckin DeWalt drill on full speed mode blasting through juice.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Hamspiced:
Keep in mind that MS's Net based kernels are in beta right now. If you are running the Net based 4.2.2. kernel you may run into very odd batt charging issues. Since then the 4.1.9.1 v7 kernel its much more consistant.

if you are running beta kernels you HAVE to keep up on the updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wfrandy:
Just wanted to say that I too have had problems with clockwork/ rom manager before. Even though I have a paid version of rom manager I would never use it to flash anything or make backups. The fact is, I rooted my phone 1 week after launch and have flashed numerous roms and all of the radio updates, and I have only had my phone get screwed up twice. Both times it was screwed up using rom manager. I used to believe the people saying not to use rom manager were full of crap too, but after it screwed up my phone the second time I flashed Amon-Ra and haven't had a single flash or backup error since. I had used rom manager for about a month at that point.

Additionally, if you have to wipe anything more than once to get it to work, the software you are using is not working.

Their is a reason why most of the devs here recommend using only amon-ra, because it works flawlessly. It is my opinion that if no one used clockwork we would have less than half the posts from people with screwed up phones on this forum.
