Try this. I do this after every time I flash a new ROM, or do a clean instal, and it brings back my voicemail, and reloads all the VVMs I had:

1.On your phone keypad, enter *38 and then press Talk to cancel any call forwarding

2.Power off your phone, remove and reinsert the battery and then power it back on

3.Update the data profile on your phone; go to Menu > Settings > System Updates > Update profile

4.Go into the visual voicemail application and compose a visual voicemail message by selecting Menu, and then Compose. Make sure your message is longer than 15 seconds, and send it to activate@vvm.sprint.com.

This should jumpstart your VVM and give you any messages still in the system.

First, I Want To Say That I Love This Rom. Thank You. The Best Rom That I Have Ever Seen. But I Have Been Having Some Issues With The Web Browser. It Loads At A Snails Pace; If Not At All. Same Applies When I Try To Sync With Flickr, Which Prevents Me From Doing So. I Have Noticed That It Has Effected The Android Central App As Well, Where It Takes Several Minutes To Load A Page. Other Then That, I Love This Rom. Shame That It Has Effected My Web Browser. I Tried Several Other Web Browsers From The App Market And They Are Equally Slow; If Not Slower. If They Load At All. Over All, The Phone Runs Great. By The Way, That Hulu App Will Not Run.

I am not sure what you said.

"will work against" confuses me.

are you talking about Persmgr zip file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
If you just open the file and change the #, it will be overwritten with the default on a reboot. The zip files include a script that runs every boot and changes the number for you, therefore, it is permanent or 'working against the rom/kernel'

What's a good way to prolong battery? I currently use setcpu to underclock when screen off. I have a clean desktop and I go to settings and force stop apps a lot. I also use titanium backup to freeze and uninstall apps I don't use. I've seen people say they use different kernels. What would work well for myns

rls5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
most likely. but in the meantime he is working on a desire HD/Z port...so that should be interesting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
THE single best way to prolong battery is to make sure you have a good/strong data connection. Weak 3g, 4g and/or wifi puts a huge strain on the battery because it is trying to get a better signal.

Juice Defender is a good app, set to defaults, it will increase battery life appx 20+%.

UNcheck Enable Always On Mobile. Sign out of and freeze Talk if you don't use it. Wifi sleep policy should be set to "never". Um.....oh!! Check what is set to Auto Sync. Turn that off for stuff you don't use, set it to as infrequent as you are comortable with (ex: my weather syncs every hour, but Facebook only syncs one a day because when I open FB it refreshes on it's own anyway)

(ps - you don't really need to kill apps with a task killer, Froyo takes care of freeing up resources when it is needed. The apps that need to run are just going to start up again anyway and I imagine that puts a little drain on the battery. Only kills "run away" apps)

Since ur on the beta, just wipe cache and dalvik and install the rls5 rom. Make sure u also do a nandroid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
That seems like the Android System is high. Ok, so a few things I normally do if I am having any kind of problems (lag, battery, etc - rarely happens anymore at all) - clear the caches, power off, pull battery, wait a few minutes, replace battery and power all the way back on and refrain from touching the dang thing til it is done :)

FWIW (and in my opinion only :)) screw the charging too much thing. we have big phones with nice 4 inch screens. Its gonna use some juice and we knew that when we bought these things. If you hose a battery....you can get TWO for $30.

Batteries are replaceable, enjoy your phone :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] xanmanz31:
When clearing cache do you mean in recovery clear cache and davlik cache. I don't know how to only power down from recovery only gives option to reboot. Also would i clear battery stats in recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] xanmanz31:
BTW thanks for the advice slugbug2010
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Yep - boot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, return...and then instead of choosing reboot now the last option should be power off now. I use AmonRA.

I only clear battery stats when I install a new kernel. Some say do it at 100%. I really have no idea what is better or if either is right or wrong.

What kind of battery life are you getting right now? I do like to use Juice Defender on the stock kernel and SetCPU with a screen off profile. Some have achieved better battery life with the stock htc15 kernel by rolling their PRI back (as you can see in my sig, I rolled my radio and pri back so that I could go back to htc17). But at the same time....I've heard htc15 is getting better for some. So it just depends.

You're welcome :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Well guys, I'm in a bit of a predicament. It seems this might be the end of the line for me in the Evo section. I went to the Sprint store and spoke to the manager over the phone and he basically said if he can't get me an Evo, he would try and give me a brand new Epic. There is that 2.2 leak around the web, and it's rootable. But that doesn't change the fact that I hate Samsung, their Touchwiz interface, and their lack of updates. After I hung up I was talking to the employees about possibly taking an Evo Shift, if I could, since it's cheaper and I know it'll get updates from HTC. I don't know what to do :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
NOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOO

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Don't you still have the Evo on it's way? In route, just terribly, horribly late? Maybe at least give that one a try since it is already tagged for you? Isn't there the slim chance it could be a new v. a refurb? And even if it's a refurb, it might be perfect!

I know, I know, that is a LOT of what-ifs. And you have certainly been through the ringer. But with one on the way, it might be worth it.

Maybe I should just clear data / cache for google maps?

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
F(RED), how big of an issue is the problems you're experiencing with the EVO smartphone? Are they tolerable? If not, then your choices may not be to your liking. For instance, it's obvious you do not want the Epic and the Shift appears to be a compromise. Therefore the obvious choices are the following:

1. If a new EVO can't be acquired, accept a refurbished one.

2. Make the best of the issues you're dealing with in regard to the EVO

3. Ask to be released from your contract, if applicable.

4. Wait for the Verizon version to be released.

5. Accept the Epic or the Shift

I'm unaware of your likes, dislikes, wants and needs so my reply is just my respectful opinion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I mean, I'll wait, but I don't want a refurb. I just want a new white Evo. That's it. They said something about them being on backorder. If that's the case I'll wait. But he says that Sprint has to approve whatever he decides to do because they have to reimburse him the cost of the phone since it's out of his own hand. The Epic costs more than the Evo (or actually the same now I believe). I'll have to talk to the manager himself since I was only talking to him over speakerphone while the employees were doing most of the talking.

Basically this is how I see it if I can't get an Evo:

Epic

Pros:

- Almost as big screen of a screen, so I'm already used to it

- Much better GPU and CPU even though I don't really play graphics-intensive games

- Physical keyboard. I can live without one but it's a plus.

- Battery is SLIGHTLY better than the Evo's (stock). I can also trade in my extended Evo battery for an extended Epic battery

Cons:

- It's Samsung...My mom and sisters' Intercepts got 2.2 officially before the Epic...

- The Intercept updates bricked their phones and I had to fix them myself

- Lack of official 2.2

- I have a feeling they'll just release the next hot new device after 2.2 and cease support

- I actually don't really like 5-row keyboards, especially when the "home" button is where I expect the backspace key

- Feels cheap in the hand

- Inferior cameras, both.

Evo Shift 4G

Pros:

- It's HTC. I mean come on ;)

- Comes with 2.2 out of the box

- Physical keyboard

- I'm used to Sense UI and I like it

- CPU is between the Evo and Epic, even if it's 800 MHz

- It's like the G2 on Sprint. It's actually slightly more powerful too.

- Feels solid instead of plasticky

- Keyboard slider is not spring-loaded, so it's solid and not likely to wear out

Cons:

- It's not an Evo :(

- No Myn's Warm Two Point Two / Warm Gingerbread :( :(

- Only 3.6 inch screen. I can live with that but I'm used to having a huge screen

- Inferior camera. Not a huge deal though.

- Doesn't have a front-facing camera. I don't use mine on my Evo but it's nice to be future-proof.

- Only has temporary root, and no S-OFF yet.

- I use Roam Control at home because I have no Sprint coverage in my house. It needs root. So I have to re-run Z4 Root after each reboot.

- Only comes with a 2GB card. I don't know if I'm allowed to keep my 8GB or not.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
First and foremost, Freddy, you'd be sorely missed here. Your sage advice and technical prowess make you one of the most helpful people in this thread. I believe I speak for most of us, and most certainly for myself.

Second, DO NOT GET AN EPIC. My business partner got one. It's a handsome piece of equipment with a beautiful screen...but its drawbacks far outweigh its positives. It is heavy and bulky. The keyboard is not as responsive as it should be. And as you say, Touchwiz is orangutan-butt-ugly.

I did root it for him and that made it far more bearable. But it just ain't an EVO, and after 2 months of coveting mine, he sold the EPIC on Craig's list (for a handsome profit!) and bought himself an EVO.

I don't think it's a very successful product, either, as it has not been a "featured phone" for Best Buy Mobile, a real measure of a phone's popularity...

In short, STAY WITH US, Fred.:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
First and foremost, I will NEVER switch to Verizon. Their pricing is ridiculous and they treat people with less respect than Sprint has treated me. Besides, I already have Roam Control so I "am" on Verizon ;)

Believe me, if these issues weren't big, I wouldn't be *****ing. I'd also take back my old Evo if I could.

The old one, which was an 0003 only had these:

- Loose volume rocker

- Top camera LED burnt out

- Weak wifi

This refurb, being an 0002, has the following issues:

- GPS is always inaccurate by a few miles. If I'm in Brooklyn, it says I'm in Staten Island. If I'm in Staten Island, it says I'm in New Jersey

- Proximity sensor is definitely f*cked up. It's caused me to hang up and dial other people while the phone is to my face. And sometimes it doesn't turn the screen back on.

- Screen is separating (notorious bottom left corner near the Home button)

- Screen bleeding (white dots on the screen)

- Because I constantly have to press the screen back in, the touch-capacitive buttons stop responding.

- Related to the above issue, the screen sometimes thinks I'm holding a finger down.

- Constant lockups on any ROM, any kernel, any radio, and PRI

- Random battery drain

- Random reboots, also definitely a hardware problem

I went as far as I could go, but I'll try to get the manager to talk to corporate on my behalf. The store has white Evos in stock. I want a white one for two reasons:

A) The white ones are a newer batch. They are either late 0003 or 0004. Only Best Buy had the early white ones

B) I just want a white Evo

It would make sense that if he could offer me an Epic, he could offer me an Evo. They CAN give me one (especially since everyone wants a black one, they said). It's just that they have to make sure Sprint will reimburse them. And I totally side with the store because Sprint was the one who sold me the phone in the first place, and they were the one who supplied the refurb (the store ordered it), and here the store is sticking up for me while f*cking Sprint just blames everything on "misinformed reps" and the store. Besides their pricing and the fact that you can roam on Verizon, Sprint isn't what I thought they were a few months ago.

I do not normally advocate this, however, I suggest you purchase the $6.00 per month insurance, and then you might just lose your phone, by accident. Then, you call the insurance carrier, and they replace your phone.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I know it's only half white. I don't mind that. It's also glossy instead of matte. But there's more to it than that:

- White Evos sold through a Sprint store are either late 0003 or 0004. Which means less hardware issues. Only Best Buy had the first batch of white Evos (0002 and early 0003)

Insurance is actually $7 a month, and even if I "lose" my Evo, it's still going to be a refurb. I don't want to pay another $7, even if it's for 1 month so I can "lose" it, if I already paid $35.
