Only thing that has me wondering...

Root? Devs? Roms? You know, for me to drop my Evo, running Manup and Fresh and Netarchy, you must pry it out biatch! :) otherwise, if LTE is in board and everything else, then we are in the money, oh did anyone notice the noise cancelling Mic? I'm excited about that! We Evo users dont have that!

Random OT info for TheBiles... I work with the guy who made GT's logo and mascot. I guess redesigned rather. We were talking about it the other day. The guy is a cartoonist for the newspaper I work for and is a total jerk.

Back on topic, I don't like the grey. Back when I had the Hero I wanted it in black. Now, with the Evo it is perfect. It is a beautiful phone.

[EVO 4G General] Classick206:
I bet that phone can last longer than four hours off of one charge.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I bet that the EVO can too.
[EVO 4G General] TJDuckett:
That phone looks awesome. Doesn't make me want to whizz on my Evo, but if it and the Evo were side by side for Sprint I would've bought it instead. Just looks sleak.

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
[EVO 4G General] Classick206:
If it's set in airplane mode, and isn't used in any way- then yeah of course it can.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
unless you are playing with it for the full 4 hours, then it will last fine. I doubt any android phone out there will last 4 hours of constant use with 4g enabled and many other things.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Must be some kind of anomaly that mine easily gets 16 hours on a charge with decent use.
[EVO 4G General] letsgoflyers81:
Yeah I have the same problem with my EVO. I can go 16 to 18 hours without recharging most days. Maybe we should trade ours in for properly working units.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
I though EVO was a male, but has a female clone?
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
If your evo only lasts four hours then you need to take it back, when I reset my battery stats I was trying to kill the thing and still wasn't able to do it in four hours. That was with it overclocked on performance mode, tethering, streaming pandora over bluetooth and the screen always on showing google maps constantly using the GPS. I even had to take the back off and stand it up so it wouldn't over heat.
[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
As the others said, I think you have a problem with your phone. I'm at 71% right now after 22hrs. Granted, that's with light use, but even with moderate to heavy use I usually get 16-18hrs.

As for the phone in the OP, it really is nice looking. I love my EVO and am perfectly happy with it. I'm also very happy with Sprint's prices (I have a 25% discount that I found on a thread on slickdeals.net) my bill is around $70 including insurance, try and find a plan even close to that on Verizon.
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
I get around 14 hours with constant moderate use.

its good to drain your battery once a month. Did mine last night. Took forever to drain. ;)
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
This phone has dual microphones. Wtf? Why doesn't the evo?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I like the design but unless it does something just astonishing then I'm about one million percent happy with my EVO.

I'm still getting used to having a mini tablet computer in my pocket so the next new shiny thing better have those 1.5ghz dual cores we all heard about if it wants to distract me from this EVO :D

I was having the same problem earlier today... but seems to be okay now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Since I had my evo I have always left my GPS on because I thought it just sat idle and didn't use any battery until it was called on by an app.

Now I'm not really sure if leaving it on helps drain the battery or not but I'm going to try leaving it off to test.

My question is, by turning it off...what does it affect? I use beautiful widgets with a clock/location/weather.. so will turning it off mess up anything with that? Like maybe location/weather? If I have to update manually and leaving gps off doesn't mess with anything else as far as phone operations then it may be worth doing if it helps battery life.

Anyone care to elaborate a little on their experience with it on or off?

Thanks guys ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
i keep mine on, still get about 2 days use outta my evo.

i think with it off, some apps use the data signal instead to trianglulate your signal by using the cell towers, but please correct me if im wrong.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Ahh so leaving it off may actually hurt my battery when the apps are trying to use it...hmm
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
ANyone else?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
It shouldnt effect the battery unless something uses it. You can also use tasker to turn it on when you are using certain apps, that way you can make sure its not being used when you don't want it to be.

The weather widget should be able to get your general location from the network and what towers you are near.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I actually leave my GPS on all the time, but turn OFF the network location. It's supposed to save some battery, although it does potentially take longer to get a GPS fix since it's not assisted by the towers.
[Droid X Android Development] jvward:
Hi all

Ok so I went to use my phone about 3 hours ago an I had no volume while making or receiving calls on 2.2(which I have been using since it was released). So I paniced flashed the sfb reverted to 2.1 and tested and it worked. Assuming i had fixed the problem i then I upgraded back to 2.2 (then logged into my google account at this point). I reinstalled pandora and went to make a call volumes gone again :( any ideas?
[Droid X Android Development] suzook:

[Droid X Android Development] jvward:
i had to wipe and not let the phone restore any of my google account settings. that fixed it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volknochi:
Okay, I'm having some trouble it seems.

I got SetCPU onto my phone but it says that the phone is not rooted. After trying twice, nothing still worked. SU Permissions didn't seem to provide me with anything useful, either.

So, I went to re-root the phone since I've read that doing that might help. However, now I've run into another problem.

In CMD prompt, it stops at "Opening: /proc/772/fd/3". It has not made any progress whatsoever after this.

What's wrong with my phone?

flactemnad - http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/295691/easy-system-remount-script/

The point of this: Save yourself the mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 command ..

-- Little buggy on the remount state command not working ... but the remount rw and remount ro do definietly change the state of /system.

Extract the file from the .rar archive.

Get yourself into your clockwork recovery then mount system from the partitions menu and then do as follows from command prompt on the computer...

adb push remount /system/bin

adb shell chmod 775 /system/bin/remount

adb reboot

Should be all set...

Would be awesome to see this in more roms... just handy... that's all...

going to work on a reboot recovery script so that from adb shell we can reboot recovery...

Edit: BTW you can remount ro or remount rw ... Forgot to attatch the file haha; next post.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
I'm confused, what is this for? I mean, I understand the idea, but I'm not sure if you're aware of the fact that you cannot ACTUALLY write to the protected NAND portions even if you force Linux to let you remount it 'rw'. Try remounting it and writing a file - it will tell you you're out of space. Then look in 'dmesg' at all of the NAND write errors.

This will also be the case for the other MTDs as well. Sorry bud. :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Yeah, I don't really get it either...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rubbachicken:
then put it in your sbin on clockwork so you can use it from recovery w/o having to ADB ...

Remount on the go is the idea.

it's helpful for me when i try to overwrite/replace some of the apps that are preinstalled on roms...

for example theres a twitter.apk on one of the roms that I had to replace to get transparent widget... so remount rw and then replace it ;p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
Im lost... does the script allow you to mount the system folder as writable while the device is on?

[General Questions and Answers] marian_14_jul:
Hello everyone,

Recently I bought a HTC hero locked to 3 UK in white color from ebay. I then bought an unlocking code for it from ebay again as the phone is for my friend in India.

I had a few problems with the unlocking seller and I left him a negative feedback last night. He has now replied threatening me that I have 24 hrs to remove the feedback or he will, and I quote, "HARDLOCK" my phone forever. The phone will become unusable completely according to him.

Now I work for Orange UK customer services myself and I do understand "BLACKLISTING" and would like to confirm from you guys that if this is what he is threatening me with or there is another way to "HARDLOCK" Android phones which make them unusable. Obviously he has my IMEI no. which I had to give him to generate the unlocking code.

The seller is also a registered USA seller and that makes me think that if there is something else called "HARDLOCK" as not sure how will he manage to blacklist my phone from USA. And if it is the blacklisting he is on about then I suppose I don't have anything to worry as the phone is going to be used in India anyway.

I have reported the emails under harrasment to ebay already and will be reporting it to police as well.

Please someone shed some light on this and thanks in advance :-)

Hey Ive had my htc touch 2 ( Just found out its called MEGA ) for little over 2 months.. I alrdy have the need for removing tabs across the bottom of my screen ( people tab and internet tab ) and maybe replacing them with a facebook tab or a twitter tab or something like the HTC Smart has?

Also.. were the calender is and the alarm, can i replace this with a quicklaunch?

Thanks in advance!

A good start is when you use Manila 2D customizer.....you can add/remove tabs and today screen items......

+1 Barcode scaner
[Vibrant General] MV10:
+1

I tried all of them I could find, and Quickmark seems to recognize the bar code much, much faster than anything else out there. Even at weird angles, poor lighting, etc. With other apps I had to screw around and get it lined up JUST right -- some of them only occasionally, others all the time. But Quickmark grabs the code even if it's out of focus and I'm still moving the phone around trying to find the thing...

This, by the way, is how QR-code scanning is supposed to work. The specification has all those alignment marks for a reason. The cheap-o Japanese cell phones that recognize QR can pick out the code quickly and easily, and this is the first smart phone app I've seen which performs equally well.
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
strange never had a problem with FC on shop savvy.
[Vibrant General] alexmuse:
ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner

Alex here from ShopSavvy. Strange that barcode scanner would be faster than ShopSavvy. The current build of both uses the same library for scanning. They should scan at exactly the same speed. We have a new library that is faster than the Zxing library, but we haven't implemented in ShopSavvy yet (developers can get it for free from freebarcodescanner.com). It will be in our next update. Anyway, if you are getting a force close issue all you need to do is uninstall and reinstall. The most common ShopSavvy issue on Android, is the 'force close' issue. We believe it to be an issue with the operating system. The best way to fix it is to uninstall ShopSavvy, reinstall ShopSavvy and then reboot. This seems to get rid of the 'force close' issue. For all other issues check out our FAQ or Support site.

Our FAQ is located at biggu.com/faq

Our support site is located at getsatisfaction.com/biginjapaninc

We are constantly releasing updates (bug fixes and new features) on Android and iPhone. Make sure you are using the most up-to-date version of ShopSavvy.

FC issues on Android apps like ShopSavvy

The FC issue happens to about 1-2% of users after they update the app. Very annoying. Something about the state of the phone at the time of the update. Google has tried to help us figure out how to resolve it, but after two years we don't have a fix. Lots of other apps have the same issue. When get several million users 1-2% turns into a big number - 60,000+ users for each update.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zminor:
Sorry if this has been answered, but I did some searches and couldn't find any answers.

Basically, I just moved from the Droid to the DI, and am loving it so far. Sense has really surpassed my expectations (especially after root) - however, there are some frustrating quirks i've noticed.

The biggest one occurs in web browsing. If I tap the address bar, it only automatically selects the page's url after http:/, meaning that I can't search a term without deleting the http, and then typing in my search phrase. I poked around in settings but couldn't find a preference for selecting all text in the address bar.

Has anyone found a way around this? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combattalon2:
When you tap the address bar, tap the search (magnifying glass) that will delete everything in the box so you can type your search string.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzerker7:
You can just tap the search from anywhere to bring up the search function...that's not part of the browser.

Hi.

I'm selling my Desire so I need to restore it back to stock 2.1.

I followed this guide and when I clicked "upgrade" it came back with error "[155]: Unknown Error"

My phone is unbranded, bought sim free. It is running a custom 2.2 rom at the moment. Bootloader is 0.75.

Could someone advise on how I would go about doing this?

Thanks.

The one that was linked to in the guide. "Unroot-RUU-Disire-1.15.405.4"

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe

Since your phone is unbranded you won't need a goldcard.

Yeah. If you have an AMOLED screen you can flash another way.

Download this file:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip

Rename it to PB99IMG.zip (ensure the extension is not .zip.zip) and put it at the top level of your sdcard. Start the phone up in hboot mode (vol down + power), wait for it to find the file and then say yes to the flash prompt.

Don't do this on an SLCD phone or it'll break the display.
