[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockky:
Don't know if this applies to you...but worth checking out:

"Be very careful, there are a few of us with bricked wimax recently and Im guessing from a bad radio. And no I never used Unrevoke. Check sand see what your MAC address is and verify it with the one behind the battery. If it does not macth, then your wimax is bricked.i ordered my replacement phone last week."

What exactly did HTC fix or improve in video recording? Running stock 2.1 every 5 seconds i had sound problems where it would sort of pause for about one second and now on a different evo with 2.2 same problem. Anyone else experienced this?

This is only when recording with 720p.
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
I had this problem in 2.1. Haven't had a chance to test it in 2.2. I'll try to post back when I have tested it.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Not having your problem, but a bigger one. Fresh 2.2 - 3.0.1 and shot a lot of outdoor videos this week in Hawaii using lots of different settings: h.254/480 and MPEG4/720 - It all looks like ****!!! Therefore, a much bigger problem.
[EVO 4G General] crakerjaks:
evo is a terrible recording device. The software is junk, the parts are junk. Theres no end to how frustrated I am with the audio quality of the videos recorded. Instead of lugging around a dedicated video recorder and a phone I think I might just get an iphone 4.. I love recording videos and uploading them to youtube/facebook for people to see my life @ concerts,clubs.. its just retarded how htc boned us and cheaped out on one of the most important selling points of this phone.. I feel ripped off.. slapped in the face..

Hell the ipod nano 5th generation has better video/audio quality then evo's "720 P"
[EVO 4G General] jcalba89:
are you serious, your complaining about the specs and the capability of a CELL PHONE?! you ungrateful bastard, go buy a ipod nano then. theres nothing worse that someone that cant appreciate today's technology.
[EVO 4G General] AvatarOfFrost:
I agree with this. The video recording on the EVO is a total joke. 720p my ass! More like 120p. :rolleyes:

Droid X and iPhone 4 are worlds apart in this category. Sad!

Personally, I don't think the photo camera is all that good either. In fact I think its also **** for a so-called 8MP camera.

Thanks HTC! :rolleyes:

Htc needs to fix this....a majority can be fixed threw software...lazy htc ...we sould email or boycott or something.
[EVO 4G General] shadowhawk2020:
I tempered my expectations because I knew it was a phone, but when two of your selling points are 8mp camera and 720p recording they should be decent.

I have had good luck using the camera, and I gotten great shots (especially considering it is a phone) But the stock camcorder was HORRIBLE, and it makes 720p fans cry!

Cyanogen's rom has made video recording better for me.

Yeah I'm going to say that the video quality on the EVO is fantastic but there's a lot of work to be done.
[EVO 4G General] weezer562:

[EVO 4G General] Globetrahter:
That's what people without good video quality will say! You dont hear this from iPhone poeple and I work and take phone calls from them everyday.

[EVO 4G General] flyingwolf:
This genius took the plastic off in the store.

This genius is also a professional photographer and knows the limitations of cameras and lenses so I expected little from a cell phone, but I experienced less than I expected.

The video is not 720p, that is a downright lie.

The 8mp camera, yes it is 8mp, but it is poor quality.

I run CM6 and it has a slightly better take on the cam and camcorder.

Even after multiple attempts to adjust the media_profiles.xml and the different configuration files there is little we can get from it. There is an entire thread about this is 28 pages long.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smurfgod:
First off I want to say that I know my way around a WinMo flash,reflash, nand breaking and all that jazz pretty well. But Android...not so much.

I ordered a G1 off Ebay recently, it has been shipped, but in the mean time, I was wanting to research the rooting and flashing process..It looks very involved...Very involved..lol

I've read the guides and such but was curious about the rom/radio bricking issues. With WinMo theres alot of radios..How about Android(My phone is an unlocked T-Mobile)?? Are there still known issues?? I like this rom http://lb.vg/fVl3w

Are the guides for rooting on here currently up to date(I think they are, and they probably are)?? Do I have to root to flash a new rom on there(I think I do)??

Sorry for the n00bish questions, but I really don't wanna kill my phone.

Can all bricks be fixed via the user??

Thanks

Edit: What is the situation of Flash?? What is supported??Is Hulu supported??

2.1 and 2.2 Froyo..Whats the difference??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robuser007:
First root (did it yesterday for the first time, phone was rooted when I got it).

You need root for certain apps, for installing another spl, custom roms.

Root installs recovery (if I remember ok).

Upgrade spl from stock to 1.33.2003 (zip file in recovery). Now you can use fastboot (safer!).Reboot in fastboot and flash first another recovery, then another radio (2.x) radio (needed for spl 1.33.2005), reboot again, go to fastboot and flash the dangerspl 1.33.2005 (or use MTDpartitions, but I got problems with it). Then flash roms.(no need for the old hardspl).

Flash not supported(arm incompatible).

Bricks can only be fixed with an JTAG, so be carefull (always wait) ! ROMS can't brick your device, only the officials can (which contain spl and radio).

Read for flashing the spl's (if you have rogers(canada) it's different).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsp33d:
Idk what this user means by saying that flash isn't compatible with the arm processor.

But yes android 2.2 supports flash all the way to flash 10 but on the g1 I don't think it would be so good on 528mhz because flash is pretty bloated on system resources. But flash videos are fine hulu runs fine for me.

I've also been reading about J-Tagging the G1..Theres an adapter on here http://miniurl.com/49008 and it's 20USD for the adapter but I think I have to heek it up to an Omnia Repair box..Is that right?? This video http://miniurl.com/49009 shows em hooking one up to a white box..and the only white box on there site is for the Omnia Repair one and it's 229 Euro's(304USD).

Does the first reply have the correct steps for rooting my phone?? Is that for all versions. I'm not sure if mines a R29 or lower.

Sorry for all the questions.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
Possible EVO Text Bug

This bug will only affect those who write texts in languages other than English.

You are allowed 160 characters in a text message. However, if you type a character using an accent, like this: ñ, you will be limited to 70 characters!!!

This happens with 2.1 as well as 2.2. It happens in the stock text program, as well as SMS Pop Up. I haven't tried any others.

Say you start a new text. It will show you have "X" amount of characters remaining out of 160, like: 94/160.

Now type an accented character, say é.

You will now have 3/70. I have confirmed this with someone on Android Forums.

This is an issue because Sprint charges 20 cents per International text. Therefore, I have to send TWO texts to convey what I should be able to with one text.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
Received a reply over on Android Forums from user Gary Coleman. Haven't checked the accuracy, but fwiw:

"Depends on the character. GSM and CDMA use different character encoding for SMS (GSM 03.38 v. CDMA 3GPP2 C.R1001). Both are limited in the allowable characters for SMS to provide for the 160 character message length. To get the full 160 character message all characters would have to fall under 8-bit length (UTF-8) - (actually it's a 7-bit set for 160 length, 8-bit for 140 and 16-bit for 70, but I'm just going to say 8 & 16 for this). Certain special characters required 16-bit (UTF-16). If a single character in the message is UTF-16, the entire message is treated as UTF-16 and the allowable message length drops to 70. So certain characters you are using are UTF-16. Some characters may be treated as UTF-8 in GSM and UTF-16 in CDMA. It is based on GSM and CDMA SMS standards and it not something special to the Evo.

So the moral of the story is....don't use funny letters.":(
[Desire General] Bandare:
i have done some searching here but not across all the android phone platforms for android.

My Desire is SOOO slow, I need to do a reset. However, one thing I desperately want to do is put all the contact information I have for each contact amalgamated in to one contact on say the google contact.

At the moment I have say 9 separate contact accounts for one that are all linked together, comprising of say a google account contact, 6 for the phone and then linked to facebook which gives me the birthday and photo. I'd really like a simple way to be able to take all that and put it in to one google contact without so many! This to then be done for all my contacts.

Any way?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] GeoH2102:
Hi,

I've recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S, and have been massively pleased with it. When I first got it I had a look at the Samsung Apps application and noticed that the game came bundled with Asphalt 5 - needless to say I downloaded it and it worked perfectly.

However, I then rooted my phone (JG5 firmware + MoDaCo custom ROM) and tried to go through the same process. This time, however, I was confronted with an error:

"Asphalt5 could not be viewed. Free up some space on your phone and try again."

Any ideas what could be causing this? I installed a few apps on my phone, but I can't see how it can be a space issue. The game's about 50mb, I have 1.03GB remaining on my external SD, 5.50GB on my internal SD, and 1.70GB available on "Internal Phone Storage".

Any help is much appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NZtechfreak:

While I was flashing my desire to froyo (Pinky's rom), I had also flashed my baseband to the latest one. Now, I can't access the 3G network. I still can make calls but I cannot get online! I feel so crippled! Is it due to the rom, or due to the baseband?

[Vibrant General] Marshgeek:
I am first to admit I am a Android noob. I was too late to buy a N1 as I am not a developer, so I bought a Vibrant. I do enjoy it (when the GPS behaves). But it doesn't seem to run as smoothly as my friends N1. His Google Voice seems so much faster than mine. Navigation is quicker. Even browsing.

Is it possible to get a clean Android install on the Vibrant?

Is that what you guys are referring to as rooting or firmwares?

Is there a way to remove the daily briefing, Amazon MP3 and the other bloatware?
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Yes, to have the stock "vanilla" Google experience it would require a root.

If you do not want to root I suggest Launcher Pro its the closest you can get to the vanilla experience without rooting. It also made my vibrant a hell lot snappier VS touchwiz crap.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Or.. ADW Launcher, I prefer ADW Launcher.. to be honest, USE BOTH. I know a lot of people suggest Launcher Pro for whatever reasons, ADW Launcher is about the same, if not better. It depends on the person and how they want to use their phone. And "touchwiz" crap is honestly NOT that bad. I enjoy the notification bars with the toggle wifi/silent/gps etc.
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
I never got accustomed to ADW. Preferred the look of LP more anyways.

Also the wifi/silent/gps toggle and notification bar are still there even if you are using LP.

It keeps the nice features of TW but gets rid of that iPhone looking interface.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
They honestly don't look that separate from appearances at all. And I know that they're there but they're implemented WITHIN TouchWiz. The TouchWiz launcher is only ONE part of TouchWiz. You were blatantly insulting the whole (I guess you would call), "TouchWiz experience." With a "Google Experience" the toggle wifi/silent/gps etc aren't there.

I'm just saying that ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro depends on the person and that you shouldn't be so biased on saying "oh try launcher pro" because they're honestly both good. It just depends on the person's personality. Some people may enjoy the extra settings that ADW Launcher provide and its also Open Source, which can be a big deal for some people.
[Vibrant General] Marshgeek:
So if I root, I can remove the unwanted apps? I notice slacker and Amazon mp3 running all the time. I've never even launched or signed into either of them

How would I get the original Google apps that Samsung and T-mobile replaced with their own?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Yes if you root you can remove the 'bloatware' applications that come pre-installed with the phone. There are threads on XDA in regards about it, you can either use Root Explorer or ADB. Do some searching on the forums and I'm sure that you'll find it! Because it's a pain to explain how it SDK works and all that. Check out the stickied thread in the General forums and it'll briefly describe about how to remove bloatware.

Samsung/T-Mobile did not replace the Google applications at all, the google applications are never removed. I think you're misconceiving it with something else. The google applications are applications such as but not limited to: YouTube, Gmail, Account Sync and all things of that sort. Samsung basically just redesigned it so the UI looks "better" in their eyes (not saying that it does or anything but thats what Samsung believes in).

T-Mobile did not replace anything. All they did was change the market with the third tab as T-Mobile rather than Downloads. However they did add 'bloatware' as 30-day trials and things of that sort.
