[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Wait wait, you were able to BUY one or are you just handling one in the store? Also, supposedly battery life is worse than the Evo...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/htc-evo-3d-review/
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Look here now. Don't be coming up in here flashing your fancy phone. :) Congrats to you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
I work for the Employee call center for sprint. ;) In a position high enough to have perks mind you! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
LUCKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Wait wait, so maybe YOU can help me out with my issue if I can't (on the phone with Sprint right now). I have an Employee Referral account. Trying to get my upgrade pushed to this month. I was promised by some "supervisor" but they lied (2 days ago). I have legitimate issues with service that I can use as leverage, but maybe it'd be easier if I PM'd you the account info?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
That's awesome thanks for sharing man
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
A SERO acct? then yeah you dealed directly with my call center. shoot me a PM, ill see what i can fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] windehawk:
I can open the calendar app, but whenever I select a specific event or select a date on the HTC calendar widget it causes a force closure. When I restore back to 6/10 no problem. Not really sure if it's something I'm missing or if others have the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
HAHA, and i only wish this was my phone. It's actually the call-centers one and only phone. We always get at least one phone two weeks in advance for training purposes, but the person that handles them is on vacation, and i am luckily her point of contact.

Trust me, its SOOO tempting. but i need my job lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] txgoathead:
I cannot reproduce the problem...I have opened specific dates and events, added and changed events as well as forwarded and received future events. No problems here.

I have performed all of the above using the HTC Calendar widget.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] windehawk:
You were actually a big help, I'll keep working at it as it seems like it's something w/ my setup. Btw, are you running the version w/ the 3d carousel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
I'm going to muck around with it tonight and see if can create a flashable zip to replace the cm a2sd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] txgoathead:
Actually, I chose not to flash the carousel...maybe that has something to do with the problem.

Good Luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
Fred, Check your PM... i think i have some very good news for you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] whiterider13:
I am running v's 6/13 with the carousel and I just tried, i can confirm that selecting a date on the widget causes a fc. If you touch the top of the widget it will open the calendar app with no problems though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Haha yeah, I got her to do it for me literally 5 minutes after I PM'd you. Thanks for the help man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
Glad i could help man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
Congrats fred and thanks adam for helping a fellow mynion out :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
man, i can't suffer through another shoddy battery if that is true
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Now that I read the comments section, they're saying the review says 14 hours. That's not bad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Even with a 1730mAh battery? Damn...:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
14 hours, but 6 of those is sleeping and light use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Frick man. I gotta say, the only 2 reasons I'm going with the 3D are the dev community and the bootloaders going to be unlocked later on. I really hope they fix this battery issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
Idk if you guys read this article but it's with all the radios turned on compared to 8 hours the original Evo had so it's a huge improvement in my eyes, just engadget bashed the phone horribly
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yeah, I think you're right. Also by default the browser has Flash set to "Always On" instead of "On Demand", among other things. But 14 hours with EVERYTHING on is awesome!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SUTHRNFRIED:
I read it....agreed, they bash it to death. But what do you expect with ALL radios on and 1.2 ghz dual core...most of us use some discretion and only turn em on as we need em right? at least i do...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
Yea I see this as having an amazing battery life for regular use compared to what we had before, I will miss my battery though no more 3500 :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
Yep your right this is just blind journalism that didn't take into account common sense
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
I wonder if i could root this one. The bootloader loaded no problem, and recovery was just looking for a recover method!... i wonder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
Don't break it :P I'm sure that it does have done protection though
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
I just wish we could get to over 24 hours. Battery life is about the only thing i would like from the iphone. Because lets be honest, they put they time into making it better. Is it wrong to want your cake and eat it too?? Powerful feature rich phones with above average battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Yeah, I read the article...lol. Nearly 15hrs. down to 7% still seems a bit much to me. Anyhooo, only until we actually use it for ourselves, then we'll know for sure about the battery life. I never really put much stock in the supposed "tech expert" reviews from various tech sites. I prefer to see what ordinary folks think about the product.
[EVO 4G Android Development] watzone69:
That review is bogus. Read comment #7 below the article. The reviewer failed on several points.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
im completely with you on that and i see this not being an issue in the long run with all the kernels and other battery performance that get done here :D im sure its much improved over the evo and not as bad as the Tbolt which EVERYONE heard about the batter problems and the Droid Charge too and Bionic.... so it must be a reason why we never heard about this til now right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
When Fred gets his, he'll let us know whether to get it or not. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
care to paraphrase? i try to not spend that much time on endgadget other than casual browsing
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
Well, I have been playing with it nonstop off charge for the past 5 hours straight. and here's hows shes running.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Looks decent if there's a combined total of more that 10hrs. on the battery with nonstop usage, if I'm reading that right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
what settings you have and it says 10 hours i think in the first screenshot?

what have you been doing on it? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yup, just as soon as I'm done hooking up with those reps!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
I know that's right. You men can't multitask. It's all good. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
Watching the green hornet in 3d, playing with the 3d camera, messing with the 3d camcorder, taking pictures in 2d, and the same in 3d to view difference. Showing it off to all the people that work here so they can envy me! lol ... oh and sitting here flicking the rosie over and over again to watch it spin. HIGHLY ENTERTAINING!
[EVO 4G Android Development] watzone69:
Bluetooth 3.0 (not 2.1 as reviewed), 1080p 2d video IS supported and the battery life was 14+ hours with 4g on (as many have commented on here).

I am getting the EVO3D on the 21st when it's available online for premier customers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pleasesaythe4th:
is it possible to remove sense from myn to save battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
me too!!! thats the day i go online at midnight :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I can if there's more than one woman involved! :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Muck on my man, muck on. :)

When this drops, hopefully myn and team synergy will port it over to the Synergy and get my netflix back!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sah0724:
Hello, where can I find the stock wallpaper (brown) for this rom?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
thats awesome!! i hope so too i want netflix
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Netflix is coming back: http://androidandme.com/2011/06/car...ther-update-in-5-days-netflix-is-coming-back/

Edit: Oops, we're linking the same thing....lol. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] guih:
Sorry, but is it still possible to get in on these nightlies?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrededStar87:
pm Myn and ask him
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
has it been mentioned? Netflix should be fixed with update coming on 6/20

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...e-20th-fixes-netflix-voicemail-notifications/

just wanted you and Synergy team to see this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaron130:
Awesome Rom just LOVE Synergy! A few more days and alot of us will be moving to a new device,lol!! Oh by the way.... GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Everybody's posted different links to the same thing...lol. Netflix is back! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
i wonder how its gonna be once the evo 3d comes out... its gonna feel so weird i think
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Hey. ME TOO!!

No matter how trick Synergy is, to me it's still incomplete (so far) and quirky.

I really loves me some Warm 2.2 R5!!!!

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDM Civic EG8:
Sprint 2600Mah extended battery off charger for 11 hours 23 minutes and 13% left idk if I' should be happy or not lol. I'm on 6/15 awake time 5hours 45mins uptime 12:35

Sent from My Synergy Powered EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
great... hoping Synergy Team can get the fix into the base ROM too
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
open up RLS 5 zip

system/customize/resource are where the wallpapers are (and thumbnails)

#12 is the default that Myn used
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
hey neil - i'm on 06/14 and no issues

full wipe flash nightly get settled

restore my amon_ra data backup

piece of cake

weather lockscreen with working icons very handy

without a partition it started with 235 MB i think it was

i seem to forget that amount,

as i delved into the nook color until i learned what i wanted to know about it.

B&N all gone on that cm #102 with oc to 1200 it flys

(all that time with sense, seems odd running cm7 !)

have two very cool devices that work really well !

we'll see what happens june 21st with the 3d
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I think at this point Synergy has been good enough as a daily for me, if I go elsewhere, it's CM7 or MIUI. The main thing they still have on Sense is the ability to theme. It is so much easier both to develop and install, for that reason there are just more available...one of a few on my list of gripes with Sense (a list that is slowly shortening :)).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
Wait til you get your hands on the EVO3d and the SENSE 3.0 UI, its miles better than 1.0.... Especially with this dual core processor, very snappy and responsive. VERY FAST.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
^--- This is the spirit! I can has more mods plz :)

Make an update.zip and I'll add it to Synergy Updater :)

Absolutely :).

So tonight I reverted the changes we applied last night that added the DarkTremor/Dconfig into the ROM. So it's back to the auto apps2sd.

It also has all the nice fixes that we made last night that few had the opportunity to test since we had a commit issue.

We're getting close to an RC1 guys. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] whiterider13:
Hooray! Can't wait Myn, Synergy is great so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mutant13:
Yesssss....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Milly7:
Nothing quirky about synergy to me.... everything that i personally use works... sorry you feel that way, but any synergy build I have used is good enough for daily... just flashed 6/15 so I may report back, but myn and company have done great work thus far.... what does anyone with issues use as a daily driver? Aside from CM7....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Solicitous:
How is the 5MP camera? I think it's still good despite what the engadget review states. As for battery life, I can't trust the review until all the options and tweaks are put in place. And my friend said it will be $250 on contract from Radioshack...I thought it was $200?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zphotop:
Sweet.. look forward to playing with it.. any progress on the compass (magnetometer) issues or the camera recognition / display for video chat programs?
[EVO 4G Android Development] marcusva79:
Myn what you think bro. Flash 6/14 or wait for 6/16. Awesome rom dude!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mutant13:
Who likes THE U !

well I think we all know.....

Here is your Hurricanes theme, Mutant style... them some crazy colors on a PhonE !!!! LOL

wipe cache, delvik, and flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] Solicitous:
Sweet! I've been running the 6/10 nightly and everything is smooth. There's just a bit of lag when the clock flips after I unlock the phone, but I think that's normal. Also, the download gauge doesn't show when I'm downloading an app in the market, it only shows within the notification bar. There is still lag whenever I drag an app to the ring when I have the weather lockscreen on. I suppose these are fixed in the future nightlies?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
Doug is gonna be thrilled about that lol thanks mutant
[EVO 4G Android Development] nautyicars:
So im thinking these are some slow moving clouds. Any reach the cap yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
and yours truly - it's all about the U !

(alumni here)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
The engadget review of the 3d is literally painful to read. It's really funny, so I'd like someone to compare with me and see if they notice. Read the Evo 3D review, and then the GSII review.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
Swype Beta 3.0 on evo

Swype that is included with, and installed by, the nightlys works great.

jts -i uninstalled (TB) and removed any swype references (root explorer search)

and downloaded and installed the new Swype Beta 3.0

it works

their website lists the changes

using the new beta on my Nook Color
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
thanks dude !

imma dlingannaflashing
[EVO 4G Android Development] zphotop:
So I'm thinking of flashing the rooted stock GB update tonight to check on the camera/compass issues I've been having.. just to make sure its not GB in general or just my phone thats messed up.. anybody have a recommendation on which one I should flash for this testing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Far superior in my opinion. I have a love/hate relationship with Swype anyway, but I am really enjoying 3.0. Now I can finally tap things with speed when I get frustrated with swyping. Also I've found it even more accurate :).

I only wish it was the black theme that was shown on a tablet in one of their preview videos...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Well, the Galaxy S II is pretty awesome, in terms of performance at least. And Touchwiz 4.0 is much cooler than Sense 3.0 (in terms of added features). The issue is Samsung makes plasticky phones. The Evo 3D looks solid, a lot more than the Evo does. The other thing HTC phones have over other brand (most notably Samsung and Motorola) are the independence from the computer when flashing ROMs. With Samsung phones, you need to be near a computer to use ODIN to go back to stock before you can flash something, on top of a million and one prerequisites (ie lagfixes that convert the filesystem from RFS to EXT4). Same for Motorola.

tl;dr: If you want raw power, go with Samsung. If you want hacker-friendly, go HTC. Both are open in terms of bootloaders, but HTC's are much easier in terms of requirements.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I'm almost positive that both of those issues are with Gingerbread+Sense in general, and not specific to just this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
It's $200 on contract, or $50 if you trade in your Evo. At least in Sprint stores. I think RadioShack will only give you $75 instead of $150.
[EVO 4G Android Development] busventinc:
cool review fred better than engadget
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Thanks Fred. However, I'm not so convinced on how the GSII's performance is so much better than the 3D's. In fact, the most convincing "evidence" I've seen so far are some pretty sketchy comparative benchmarks. Putting the 3D aside, the phones are remarkably similar, except for the differences you called out. I don't believe the phones are as different as some are making them out to be, and with what Fred has so eloquently summarized in regards to bootloaders and ROM-flashing ease, who would go with anything BUT the 3D?

That's not even harping on the epic dev support.

Here's a less dismal review.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
anything is better than engadget nowadays.... GO FRED! lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i use it plain - no hints, no words, no nuffin - just let me swype away !

before it was released, i couldn't get older version to work on the NC,

so i bought slideIT and Flex 9T to try out ...

and then the next day beta 3.0 was released ! hey hey hey !

working nicely on the NC

i think the black and the resizeable are for 'real' tablets, eh
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
hey fred.

when i stopped in the sprint store, the guy there

said i get $150 off the $200 for the evo 3d

(i'm one of the few that didn't need to call anyone :)

and i can keep my evo.

(which i'm doing anyway - for the 30 day 3d test period).

and they would give me approximately $100 (more)

if i want to sell it back/turn it in to them.

that's not how it works ?

thinking - he said if i kept evo and just added evo 3d as second line,

my cost would be $50 (after the $150) credit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
The issue with Engadget's reviews is that they don't go under the hood with the phone. There are certain things they don't tell you or they state wrong. For example, the 3D CAN do 1080P video, but in 2D mode (they say it can't at all). Also, the reason for low benchmark scores are:

1) QUADRANT IS MADE FOR SINGLE-CORE PHONES. It's useless for assessing the power of dual-core phones. On top of that, it's just better optimized for certain kinds of CPUs, so scores may be skewed if a CPU is or isn't optimized for the tests it runs.

2) The Evo 3D has asynchronous CPU cores. What does that mean? It means the CPU cores run at different frequencies instead of both running at 1.2GHz all the time. Why would you want that? Battery life. If you're running an app that doesn't demand much power, one core can run slower than the other, or just completely not run at all. That's why battery life is great, contrary to what Engad**** has to say.

3) Android itself isn't optimized for more than one CPU core. Think about it. Out of the box, what does the Evo score in Quadrant? Now compare it to what the Evo 3D gets (~1850). You can think of it as getting that score with 1 core, since it's not being fully utilized by Android itself.

The issue with these tech sites is that they don't go in depth. It's almost like they review these things for the everyday consumer. Or rather, they review everything like it's the iPhone. Think about it, there's not much to the iPhone. It's just a bunch of icons and everything pretty much works out of the box. It's the equivalent to a Mac user, who knows nothing about PCs, reviewing a high-end PC. IT'S ANDROID! Of course you have to tinker to get everything to work right! They don't get that. Yes, if you turn on WiMax, Bluetooth, Wifi, leave Flash set to "ALWAYS ON" and keep using the phone above real-world usage for the sake of a review, the battery won't last you a long time. But Jesus, 14 hours out of the box is a hell of a lot better than the 6 I got with the Evo. What I don't get is how they gave the Sensation such a high score when the Evo 3D is the Sensation with 3D features.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Gunna have to say, pretty much all your points are right on. That's what I was saying about the quadrant score thing. Benchmarks are meaningless when they take into account a single core.. Engadget DOES go in depth, but only with phones that they want to go in depth on. That is why I challenged people to read their evo3D AND their sgII reviews. The bias is ridiculous. It's funny how it's a site for experienced users and they toss out that apple quality knowledge base.

"What I don't get is how they gave the Sensation such a high score when the Evo 3D is the Sensation with 3D features." O.o You just said why.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
What I meant was the Sensation has a higher score, when the Evo 3D is the Sensation + 3D features. The Evo 3D should have the same score or higher.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
What I meant to iterate was that engadget is inconsistent bias that literally is so illogical that it doesn't make sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
You and Fred are really interesting to hear from in my opinion

but what you said is true they didnt really go in depth like they do on their articles sometimes and that shows a horrible amount of bias, and they did do benchmarks but never really explained anything about them and to an average user it would be like wtf type of information.

they are so illogical that just because it has 3D things they think it is inferior... and also because it has JUST a 5mp camera that it is a step backwards

the kickstand was w/e to me so i dont miss it much but yea engadget just talked so much crap about it.... it was horrible to see that this would even get published in a blog since it looked like they walked in there with a set mindset

and to get 14 hours on a smartphone nowadays with ALL the radios turned on... i would love to see another android phone do that straight from the box. and even compared to the evo. i got 7 hours and apparently that was better than what fred got from his like it was really crappy but everyone was fine with it

so yea... i just dont even trust engadget with reviews anymore, i havent for a while after all their best ppl left
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Did you get it from the market? I am digging the NC more and more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
the GSII battery is superior to the 3D's and touchwiz is subtle enough as well. The only thing that is a question mark in my mind is aftermarket support. But if the phone is as good as the Europe version (sleek, one button) then it should fly off the shelves here in the states. Hopefully sprint doesn't jack with it a la the Epic
[EVO 4G Android Development] nautyicars:
Did you happen to try the 3.0 Camera apk yet to see if that resolved your issue? The camera update with wideangle?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
swype beta website

you need to register

you DL installer
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
No I didn't ..but I'll give it a try. Is it the same one that's in the Theme's & App sub forum?
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I am still awake :(

Isn't it about time for the nightly to drop?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nautyicars:
This is the one I was referring too. One of the fella's a few chapters back in this thread posted it. It installed fine on my phone and worked great with zero Force closes but I never expirenced dark exposure on photos like you are tho. Worth a try, you can always uninstall it. I believe its the 3.0 Camera ported.
