Both my parents got Evos this week. The phone is a little complicated for then, so I'm not going to root them until they decide to keep them. The one observation I have made is that they have more reception bars than I do in some locations. My assumption is that's it's the newer PRI.

The official Sprint 3.26 RUU conatins the 1.71 nvram update. I'm guessing that I could run the official (ie, non-rooted) RUU and my PRI *would* get updated to 1.71_003.

Calkulin has attempted to extract the nv.zip from the RUU, but people who have used it do not get their PRI updated. My guess is that the PRI must be flashed in a "special" way that only the official RUU does.

Has anyone tried installing the *OFFICIAL* 3.26 RUU???????? (Use unrevoked forever first so you don't lose your root foothold).

For those who went from 1.40 to 1.34 Sprints probably laughing there asses off. Like ya it makes almost no difference. I actually seemed to get better signal on 1.34 so I had an office party when it went back. Joking aside I did the reset a couple more times and it when back to 1.40.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxermansr:
Dunno if this helps any (imagine I'll know myself in about 10 minutes or so), but theres a newer ROM over on shipped-roms (same version the EVO has now, but appears to have the updated PRI). Filename is RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.71_003_release_147044_signed.exe

Updating mine in a few, to see if it works. (should mention that I'm not rooted, since this will likely be a question asked, if it does work).. phones rebooting now so will know soon.

Oh well, what a waste, lol, didn't work.

Ya...you have to be a member of http://www.cdg.org/ to see the Docs that would clear up this whole PRI deal. This Doc was "leaked" but it speaks for itself. I feel the reason the new phone has PRI 1.70 is that the Product Release Instructions have been updated for that phone. DO NOT TRY TO UPDATE YOUR 1.4 Because several people have tried and dropped it back to 1.34....OOOooppps!!

It is the: 'Motorola P513. Make sure you get the one that's sold by amazon as some people said there are fakes out there.

It works great on the droid 2. I can have navi on constantly and it will actually charge the phone. The verizon charger couldn't even hold the charge on a 2 hour trip with navigation running.
[Droid 2 Accessories] pulptastic:
I just bought the scosche revive II from amazon, it has 2 ports and is capable of supplying 1A from each simultaneously (for the wife and I). I will report my findings when it arrives.
[Droid 2 Accessories] techarlj:
I like the scosche but I would hate having to tote around the usb cable too
[Droid 2 Accessories] pulptastic:
After a few weeks of use, I am pretty happy with the Scoche. It can indeed provide about 1A through each port simultaneously. The blue LED is very bright, but I have it facing down so it lights my coin/sunglasses tray in the center console.

My only complaint is with the phone. Using this or my wife's charger it overheats faster than the D1 while using navigator with the screen on. It keeps up and charges the phone fine until it gets hot, then it stops charging and the battery goes down. Only fix is to turn the screen off and let it cool down. I may try a vent mount, to both cool it with AC and keep it out of direct sunlight, but that will be less effective once I start using the heater this winter.
[Droid 2 Accessories] leobg:
General rule for Droid 2 (and other high charger output demanding phones): Any microUSB charger rated above 850mA will work fine. Low current models (from handsfree devices, etc) will indicate charging, but due to the fact they do not supply enough current, phone will take forever to recharge on them and will be rechargin only if there are no activities like GPS/music streaming/etc.

I wouldn't go that far. The original Omnia and its successor were one of the nicer WinMo phones before the HD2 came out. Last time I check, the Omnia II is still getting updates even though it's been out for nearly a year. Shame on Samsung for not keeping their promise of getting the Behold II to Eclair, but they're not screwing over all of their phones.

I highly doubt Samsung will ditch the Galaxy S, there's way too much of these phones out there. If they dare to do so, they'll pretty much commit suicide in the mobile phone market.

I'm new to the Evo, and android in general, so a couple of quick questions -

When you guys say the fps limit is unlocked, is that just for the screen? Or is that also when recording 720p video (the framerate seems quite low in that)?

Can you root an Evo from Linux? I don't have a windows or mac PC, and the tutorials I've seen (I haven't done an extensive search yet) all seem to use windows.

What is the 90-100% power cycle? I don't believe I've seen reference to that before.

Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread, it just seemed an appropriate place for the questions.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I remember when this "what is root/why should I root" question plagued the G1 forum years ago.

The 90-100 power cycle is when when the phone % drops within minutes of unplugging the charger. Correct? I think thats what thats all about, apparently its driving some of us crazy.

Im pretty sure you can root using Linux, you probably have to search for instructions. You couldn't just use a friends pc? The one click is just a simple exe file that works in minutes. Oh you do have to install the Android driver the ln the exe.

Im not sure about the fps cap, I do know HTC did put one on and some roms removed it. I bet it had to do with battery life or something.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Had to do with the HDMI output I thought.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
Thanks for the response - I read somewhere on this forum that if you charge the Evo via USB, that it got a full charge, and wouldn't drop off in the first couple of minutes, as opposed to using the stock wall charger. Has that not proven to be the case for you?

I reckon I could use a friends PC...but I don't want to use a one click method - I want to be as hands on as possible, to fully understand what's going on.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Just use the 1 click method.... all the other method is doing is putting you back to 2.1 (as 2.2 was blocked from root at that point) rooting it, then updating back up to 2.2 with root.

I have also noticed that when charge with usb it does give me a full charge instead of a face charge with the wall charger
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I tried the usb, 700 mah, and 1a charger. I didn't see any difference in battery performance, it might be just me. I may work for some people.

As for the one click, you have less chances of something going wrong or an error. I personally think its safer. Just read through the wiki, find which method you feel most comfortable with. Happy hacking!
[EVO 4G General] bender1077:
I would recommend doing the job yourself!

It is a great way to get to know your EVO, basic linux commands, and some practice with ADB!

I 2nd that. Get ready for SRE 2.0!!!! Its gonna be worth it all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
To answer your other question you can not remove bloatwear without rooting. Rooting is easy as there is a one click root/unroot process which is stickied in the dev section. Right now the best ROM is Eugene's Vibrant Hybrid because its an actual ROM. What designgears puts out is more removal of bloatwear with some added features that ATT did not included in the captivate as well as including overclock and a lag fix which you install. To me that is not a ROM but it is a very good product which as of late has gone under many changes. Research, research, research before you do anything. Read all 300 pages of any thread because it is not all just banter, lots of good info in those threads.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartek4443:
Wow, I guess I'm going to turn myself into an Android expert now by reading these threads.

Nope. but anyway: My opinion on trying other roms: I tried 2 roms. the leaked 2.2. was good for a little while, played around with flash, kinda laggy still, but its a leaked version, so whatever. Then i changed to "Tayutama's JPM Froyo w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel" Next day, back to stock. Too many problems, custom roms are being updated constantly, more buggy than official releases. well at least the ones i always get, so back to stock Rooted. Sideloading enabled. And LOVING IT!:cool: I'm just gonna wait til the official froyo release, flash is great, but i never really used it as much as i thought i would. as long as you have root, sideloading, bloatware removal, and lagfix, i think you got yourself a damn good phone. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you tried 2 roms and decided they were too buggy??

go try cognition. you will wonder why the phone didnt come from the factory like that.

honestly the 2 you tried were not the best to get any idea of anything from....the leaked is leaked with no tweaks and is a tad buggy. then you tried one that was an i9000 rom that people are working on making stable....

give cognition a try
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRomero09:
i know that does sound stupid. haha. i meant on my captivate, i have tried way too many roms on my past phones. i have been thinking about trying cognition 2.2, just waiting for it to get out of beta. should be worth the wait.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I would recommend running his beta 2.2. It makes the phone run a LOT better. Fixed a ton of issues that I was experiencing.

But.. it is pretty hit or miss on his builds... Usually I wait until after the whole number release (i.e. 9.1 vs. 9) so the initial bugs are figured out and fixed.

Froyo on this phone with the tweaks DG has been doing are phenomenal. But then.. I'm impatient and don't mind flashing the crap out of this thing. :)

And to answer the OP. Rooting does not affect your AT&T voice/data plan. It does affect your warranty. Anything that can be used to circumvent the "lockdown" that AT&T and Samsung has on the phone will do that.

So... Rooting, removing "bloatware", flashing ROMS are all a big no-no if you still want to be within the EULA and Warranties with both AT&T and Samsung.
