[Epic 4G General] ImmortalLuD:
Guys, this is probably a stupid question, but I couldn't find it being asked, or answered anywhere else...

I upgraded from the Hero. I was using YouMail since I was running Froyo on that.

Now, whenever I miss a call, my voicemail goes to my Hero!!!

I don't understand this, but how do I fix it?! :p Thanks guys!!

For some reason my screen keeps coming back on after 5 second of sleep an i have to keep hitting the lock button to get it to stay off. I donut think its an app doing it but im not sure how can i tell what is causing this?
[Epic 4G General] ninz0rz:
i had this problem before, but no one responded to my post. it recently has gone away after the OTA update.

hope that helps.

I installed android on my htc hd2 and it works fine, but i have ran into a problem. Anytime i reboot the phone, when I go to open android again, i get "failed to find root of sd card". There has been maybe one build that let me reboot it but eventually it said the same thing.

Does anybody have any idea what im doing wrong??:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] traitimdangme:
used 2 gb sd cards that solve the problem
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaliceOmega:
first and foremost i wanna start out by saying that rooting my phone was an awesome idea. it started out as me just wanting to overclock the cpu and enable 720p recording but now that its rooted im really appreciating what actual full customization means. my phone is working near perfect and is stable except for the boot loop when i initially rooted but i did find one issue.

for some reason when i go into my dialer and press the area where the number shows and i cant figure out how to disable the second number pad that shows up. Any help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorza:
Simple, just don't press the area where the numbers show. Just start dialling with the dial pad that's already there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaliceOmega:
as simple as it sounds there are times in the lives of phone users when a number needs to be edited. so thank you for you suggestion but realistically people dont always dial perfectly. and in my case im in florida with a new york number so i need to add 1 to every number before i call out. so when im selecting a number off a webpage i have to press that area to add the "1" beforehand
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhurtado:
Just press back burton to dismiss the android keyboard after you edited the number.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaliceOmega:
yeah. but i was curious if theres a way to just disable it altogether to be honest. the look of the second number pad on top of the stock number pad just isnt aesthetically pleasing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
I'm currently with AT&T on a family plan, but my contract has expired and am possibly looking to Sprint for the EVO 4G. How do you all like the EVO, and if you had to do it again would you still get the EVO?

Sprint's coverage map doesn't seem to be as good as other carriers, but I hear that's improving all the time. And there's no 4G access in southern California where I'm at. We travel to Vegas a lot though, and Sprint has 4G there. Can anyone tell how well Sprint's 3G access is in southern California? I'd be using GPS a lot, as I hate having to carry around a dedicated GPS unit.

The $30/month plan for WiFi sharing seems a bit steep, but it's unlimited compared to Verizon's 2GB sharing limit, and it's not even offered by AT&T.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbelhorn:
I would get the evo again without a second thought. Save yourself the $30 a month, root the evo and get wireless tether for free.

I am in Northern California but I visit Southern California alot...never had one problem with California or anywhere I travel which includes Michigan, Georgia, Texas, and Neveda.

Sprint map doesnt accurately show where coverage is because my oldest son who works for ATT has owned all the iphones from the beginning and his service is more iffy than mine.

Back to Evo, I love it and would buy it again if I had to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finishure:
I've had many android phones even an evo I gave the evo to my wife and got the epic by far the epic is the best phone I've had to date I liked the evos build and screen size but the 30 fps is horrible the battery is horrible and hdmi is pointless because the evo only takes mp4s and when they get stretched out on tvs look like crap
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwabbit:
The Evo has mostly replaced my desktop computer. It's just plain awesome. If you use you computer (Evo) like I do, buy some extra batteries. I hike with it, hunt with it, places that would be hard to stop and charge the phone. The GPS and Maps program work great. 3G is mostly everywhere. If you have to roam to Verizon towers, then you will be experiencing 2G speeds. The $10 bucks a month additional charge for the Evo, permits true unlimited data. I am sure Sprint wishes it were $20 more for how much data I use. Remember: When thinking of the Evo, it is a very portable computer that you can also make calls with. ps: All of the smartphones have a similar battery life (between charges) unless the phone is rooted. I get 50fps and as high as 50 Mflops on my Evo. Meaning, it will go head to head with the best phones out there. The Evo can be as mild or as wild as you would like it to be.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoner1:
Evo, best phone I've ever owned. If I have to do it again I wouldn't even think twice about it. Only wish I can afford another one since I dropped my baby while running, now she's all scratched up but still working great.

Northbay CA here and service is awesome. I work in the lower level (basement) and no carrier will I mean no single carrier other than Sprint will get reception let alone 3G. I get great 3G even in the basement average 900 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps. Main level (street level) average from 1.4 Mbps to 2.1 Mbps under 3G, no 4G yet. At home is okay at 900 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps.

Edit: I to switch from more expensive AT&T to sprint cheaper discounted monthly family everything data plan.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
The Evo is amazing and I would buy it again in a heartbeat over ANY of the Android phones out right now. There are phones with better processors, and some with better screens, but the Evo is the sum of its parts and is IMHO the best phone on the market.

Rooting is incredibly easy and will give you the ability to use wifi tethering for free, among many other awesome things. We are very lucky to have such incredible developer support. There are a whole bunch of great ROMs and kernels out there for you to truly customize your phone and squeeze every last drop of performance out of it.

You will be very happy with your Evo if you decide to get it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Words cannot express how much I live this phone. Screen size might seem daunting, everyone comments on the "size" (which isn't anything new) but once you go big you can't go back. Sprint has also always been great for us, obviously that might not be the case everywhere ... but all in all it's been a more than enjoyable experience for me.

What do I think of my EVO?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werxen:
You're asking if an Evo is nice on a forum filled with Evo fanboys.

Here is the bottom line:

iPhone vs. Evo - the iPhone wins.

Sprint vs. ATT - Sprint has MUCH better coverage and price, ATT has better capabilities such as Voice+Data at same time and much faster 3G speeds

Those are the only difference. In reality, the Evo being able to become 'customized' does not make up for its short comings. The battery is utter ****, the screen resolution is not nearly as good as the iPhone 4, it tends to get laggy and stuck in situations, and is generally not reliable.

Only ****ty thing? You have to use it with ATT or Tmobile :(

Don't let these fanboys talk about how superior their phone is to the new iPhone. Its not even close but then again Apple makes amazing products.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
Yes - I want to see if any regret their purchase or not. That's why I'm asking here. :rolleyes:

I know all about the iPhone, please don't preach here. If I stuck with AT&T, I'd choose the Captivate over the iPhone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
Uh, I'm starting to see why people called you a troll.

Anyway, I'll give you a unbiased view on the EVO.

The build is great but not amazing, the display size is without a doubt a benefit. You'll never want to use a 3.5"-3.7" phone again. The processor will pretty much do anything you want, it's not like you'll be running Photoshop on it or anything. TBH, pretty much any current gen CPU will do. The GPU however does leave something to desire. In terms of comparison, it's about half of what the iPhone 4/DroidX is and almost 1/4 of what the Galaxy S line (Epic 4G, etc) is. In real use, most 3D games are playable but the frame rates aren't smooth. You'll also find yourself looking at lag when you run live wallpapers. I'm especially worried about how it'll handle future versions of Android which I believe will be GPU accelerated.

OS-wise, Android is good, it does as much if not more than iOS; just not as fluid UI/UX-wise. BUT I do have a strong belief that this will change with 3.0 which I can't wait for. HTC Sense is a mixed bag, I personally couldn't get past its complete ugliness (I'm a designer/developer -- not mobile though) and some things are badly done (like sticking XML into your Gmail contacts for Facebook/Twitter syncing.. agghh..). On a plus side, it does add some useful things like iOS-like copy and paste. I however use Cyanogen Mod which basically ports an enhanced version of stock Android; I find CM to be MUCH better in terms of user experience and design. I also have a iPhone 4, and if CM wasn't around, I'd probably keep my EVO in my bag 50% of the time and only take it out to use it as a 4G modem and secondary business line (Google Voice!).

Another good thing with the EVO, which I just mentioned, is 4G tethering. I get consistent speeds of 5-10Mbps and it's great. Well worth rooting and the extra $10.

I've never used the HDMI out, and probably never will. The kick stand is a plus, I find myself using it at work a lot while listening to Grooveshark (which I might add is a amazing Android app).

The battery life got knocked hard in reviews, and it's still not as good as my iPhone 4, but after knowing what to do, it's not bad either -- I get something like 15-20 hours with normal use.

Sprint's plans are pretty much unbeatable. I'm in NYC and get great coverage and speeds. Can't complain.

As for would I do it again? When I got the EVO, I already knew about the Epic 4G and it's better specs (mostly the Super AMOLED display + much better GPU), but the build is crap (including the keyboard) and I don't trust (software-wise) Samsung at all. I'm somewhat disappointed by the EVO's GPU but if I were to get a free choice between the Epic and the EVO (or any other Android phone on any other carrier due to it's price, 4G tethering and 4.3" display), I'd still get the EVO.

Once Cyanogen figures out 4G, it'll be a great phone with only one flaw - it's GPU.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
I think it all depends on the type of user you are. I owned all four generations of the iPhone before the EVO and my wife has an iPhone 4 yet I prefer the EVO.

But, I am not the average user nor is anyone else that reads XDA. The average user doesn't read developer forums, or any forums for that matter, to learn how to get the most out of their phone.

If you are an average user who doesn't want to root or tinker I would recommend the iPhone and nothing but the iPhone. It is beautiful, simple, and just works; not to mention the app store is far superior. However, if you are an above average user (which you probably are if you are here on XDA in the first place) I would without question recommend the EVO.

Out of the box, the EVO is a great phone but it is loaded with Crapware and limited in potential. It's like having a Porsche with a restrictor. But, rooted and unleashed you can really bring out its potential and customize the living hell out of it. Without a doubt there are apps I had on my iPhone which I REALLY miss but they are coming. Android's market share is growing to fast and too big to be ignored.

Final thoughts:

Size matters - As amazing as the iPhone 4's screen is, and it is amazing, I prefer the size of the EVO. I don't think I could ever go back to using a 3.5" screen again.

IAATW - It's all about the widgets. Google Voice is great, voice to text is even better, and Google Navigation is the shiz!... But, the widgets are what I love the most. All my most used apps right there on my home screen without having to exit one app, enter another, exit that one... rinse, wash, repeat.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
Rofl, No brainer, make the switch.

I saw this topic and I just had to chime in because i'm a serial hater on AT&T. I've never met one person that was happy with AT&T, they liked their iphone but hated AT&T. With that being said, the only reason to go or stay with AT&T is because of the iphone. With the introduction of the EVO, the first true iphone killer imho, there is no point on being with AT&T. Their service is awful, their customer service is equally as bad, and all their phones less the iphone are crap. So whether you go with the evo or not, lose AT&T. I've been using android for about a year and have no plans to move to any other mobile os, period. Even android on AT&T is terrible because of the restrictions they put on android. How can you have an open source phone on a closed network. With all this being said, the evo is the best phone I have ever used or owned. I'm always looking for the next big thing, I have no intentions of changing phones until my contract is up, or I get a dual core for free, which isn't likely to ever happen. Make the switch lose AT&T and have fun enjoying your awesome coverage, and faster data speeds. I will say however sprint customer service is two-faced. They smile at you and tell you they appreciate you but really are sticking it to you, and they nickel and dime you. However, I get what I need from them with too much hassle. Still worth the switch from Verizon in my case, definitely worth the switch from AT&T. Thanks for lettin me rant. Enjoy your Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
With iPhone 4/iOS 4.x, I still think the iPhone has the upper hand but only by a little. But you're definitely right, to get the EVO to that very competitive level, you really have to tweak it. Ever since getting the EVO I've spent WAAAAYYYYY too much time and energy on the it. With the iPhone 4, I was satisfied the minute I turned it on. That's why I can't wait for Gingerbread and hope that it discourages OEMs from messing with Android. I have a really good feeling that stock Gingerbread will finally surpass iOS.

Hi,

After months owning an N1, I managed to sell it today and buy a new one (with a guarantee this time) for a little additional money. The problem was, after some time using it, I noticed there is a small problem with the screen: there is a spot near the bottom left corner which seems to be brighter than the rest of the screen, especially when holding the phone in a certain angle. Kind of like this:

Do you guys know why this could be happening? Anyone has something like it? Is there a way to fix it, or should I send it back to HTC?

[Vibrant General] mac1133:
Hi, I bought two Vibrants. The one operates differently than the other. The main thing is voicemail. When a voicemail comes in, the phone signals two different voicemail notifications (one regular voicemail & one visual). The other thing that happens is the phone won't open visual voicemail when the voicemail tab is pushed when in the "Dialer". It will dial the voicemail's number instead.

Can someone tell me how to fix both of these things? I'd like to only have a notification for visual voicemail and I also want visual voicemail to open when I open the voicemail tab in the Dialer.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparks.calvin:
I posted this in another thread about my experience with Factory Reset

If you have removed any bloatware I do not recommend it

------

Hello,

I just wanted to share my experience and possibly prevent other people from going through it.

I recently received my first Vibrant and it happen to be one of the defective units unable to enter recovery via HW. Of course at the time I did not realize this was a problem and was new to the phone and android in general.

I rooted the phone and removed 5 or 6 bloatware apps (Telenav, Audio Postcard, etc... Nothing important) So im installing and uninstalling apps you know how it goes and I think you know I just kinda want to clear everything out and remove all the user data. I understand the bloatware I removed will not come back but thats better for me so I wont have to remove it again. So I use ADB reboot into recovery and select Erase User Data.

It formats and I reboot. Right away nothing works and I get a constant force close loop of just about every app trying to open including TouchWiz which I didnt remove so it should be fine. Well I think this sucks at least you can always flash to stock. DING thats when it hit me and I realized I now had no way to get into recovery or download mode to even attempt running a recovery. SO I had to have my phone replaced. The replacement phone Is not defective and I can access everything via HW buttons. I wanted to see if i could duplicate my issue. So I do a backup of stock right away. Then I proceed to remove bloatware etc...

I factory reset and again force closes

I nandroid back to the stock reference I made and boots fine No defect in the phone No Problem this time correcting it. I do a factory reset at that point and works fine.

Point I guess is after all this is if you have a HW Locked defective phone and have removed bloatware NEVER RUN A FACTORY RESET unless you have put the bloat back on... Would have saved me from having to get a replacement though I guess that was better cuz now I have a phone that works properly.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
Okay I have these three issues with my phone...

1. Bluetooth: Sometimes when I enable bluetooth and connect it to my headset and try and play something no sound comes through and then the phone becomes redicuasly laggy. To fix this I power down the phone, then when I try to power it back up there is no response from the phone. After pulling and reinserting the battery the phone manages to boot and then connects to bluetooth headset & works fine. This has happened multiple times.

2. 3 Button: I know a lot of people have this but my phone has no recovery mode by the 3 button combo. I see there is a sort of firmware fix that people aren't sure is the real deal yet

3. Battery Loose: When I shake my phone, tap my screen or hold it tight you can hear the battery blatantly rocking around. It feels so loose and makes the phone feel patheticly cheap, I've resorted to stuffing folded paper in there to make it feel at least a little bit solid.

Amounst these I also have a few GPS issues and lag issues which I'm not worried about as I see there is the upcoming Froyo rom and Voodoo lag fix which will fix there however on the issues above I'm considering trying to return my phone under warrarnty (which might prove difficult as its parralell importers I got it from :() what do you guys recon? Try to get a replacement or these issues common and not worth it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Bluetooth: sounds like you have an A2DP capable headset and when it connects it's scanning your phone for medias to play and it's slow due not enough memory, due all the extra background process running that are not needed.

3 Button modes: the fixes on the Dev forum works install them if you dare, and want some protection, otherwise don't flash any ROM if you are not confortable with the idea

Batter Loose?! :eek: really? no way! WTF? how? there's no room in the compartment to move at all, are you sure it's not a used phone or a fake battery?
