I am asking with the utmost politeness and I do not mean to be a d*** in anyway. Why get a tablet? I have been thinking about getting one because it is cool (no lie), but I have a phone and a huge laptop that does everything great. Please enlighten me
[EVO 4G Android Development] bxphantom:
Has anyone noticed that the message light turns on but no messages, emails or anything else for that matter doesn't actually come up. like a notification of nothing. Anyone else get this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
Gotta love the SERO plans! ;)

Being on an employee plan has perks. like an upgrade a year...

....Or ordering your phone, then changing your mind, so you order a return kit, then decide you want to keep your phone, automatically resetting your eligibility to be eligible for a new device :)... sooooo many loop holes! lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] aburgthing:
No offense either, but I was in the new HHGregg that opened here day before yesterday and they had the full monty of tablets available and I played with them all. I agree they are a nice toy and all but practically I NEED a new laptop and couldn't justify buying one. I am far from being considered "cheap" I think. I know the day they have at least rooted the Evo 3D I'll spring for it even if they haven't unlocked the bootloader yet. I think I'd have to be put in a padded room if I couldn't really partake of all the goodies the developers put out for the Evo4G.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeyldev:
Basically because it's cool and new. Plus its easier to tote around/store. I've been toying with the idea myself, but since its mostly casual use, I'm leaning towards rooting a nook color.

I think laptops have become the new desktop in most peoples minds. There basically is no need for a desktop anymore. The industry is just trying to capitalize on a possible gap between phones and laptops.

My 2 cents.
[EVO 4G Android Development] B-Mod:
The Nook Color, rocks for $250!!!

I'm not experiencing anything like that, my friend. Sorry....:confused:

I have seen the rooted Nook Color with Honeycomb in its initial stages and it looks laggy. Has it been optimized?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Perfectly understandable question, I was of the same mind as you before the Xoom was about to come out. Clearly the iPad (still is a phone OS) did nothing to excite me about needing a 3rd device, at least Honeycomb is built for tablets.

Anyway over the months as HC got better and more products started coming out I tried a few out and really really liked them. My laptop is my primary computer, but I am almost always plugged in (battery is now bad and it has been difficult finding a replacement); plus it only lasts a few hours with a good one. I certainly don't need a new laptop yet, still a beast.

I would really like the portability of a tablet and would get a good percentage of 'computing' done that I needed (browsing, music, youtube, email, etc...). I will say though that in no way am I getting one because it is a 'need.' I just finished up with HS soccer season reffing and I typically use some of it to treat myself, if you will. Most definitely is a want, but I think also useful :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Solicitous:
I haven't been getting that man. I suggest a full wipe then reflash the rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] Solicitous:
Thank you for your answer and thanks for going indepth, I appreciate it. I might get a tablet in the future, but my lifestyle doesn't require tablets atm
[EVO 4G Android Development] nautyicars:
Can you still port your # back and forth between sprint and nextel voiding the contract? Example 2 Year pricing on phone w/nextel, then port the # to sprint to get another 2 year pricing on another phone? That was a nice loop hole, been years since i worked their tho. I was on the sprint side.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
No worries, I was of the wait and see method, still kind of am, but want one. Windows 8, early on is looking to really change tablets and bring them closer to the power of laptops IMO.

It certainly is much different than a phone or a laptop in my mind as those devices are essential for me. I could easily get by without a tablet though, maybe having one will change that, but...:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] threestripebrand:
Lol you should swap me a 3d for my white mint EVO. Only had it since april. ;)

But I'm not an employee [yet], plus I have to wait 3 months for an employee discount. I'm on an employee referral (SERO) plan, but it doesn't offer yearly upgrades, at least to my knowledge. Here's what happened:

1. I bought the Evo 3D a day early and activated it at 9 PM at home through Sprint.com (ESN change). So basically, it's as if I bought the phone outright.

2. I came back the next morning and ESN-changed back to the Evo 4G so they could re-process the sale (so the store would get commission and so that it would actually use my upgrade).

3. They received commission, but my upgrade has been there all day, since yesterday.

So that means I can buy the Photon/Within and toy with them too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
You would still buy photon locked?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DustieBottums:
The only useful application i have seen for a tablet was inside a vehicle. I was getting gas at the 7-11. Someone pulled up in a jeep and instead of a rear view mirror he had an ipad in a custom mounted frame. He was playing his music from it and also told me he had it hooked up to a back-up cam. I have to say it would be pretty awesome to have this in my work van...lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Is there any way to get the old HTC flip clock/weather widget after updating to the new Rosie 3.0? I only found the full screen widget and don't like it.

I searched this thread and didn't find anything. I looked through the zip file for the ROM and found a couple weather related .apks under apps but not sure which one or if any would work. So, any input would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Motorola just unlocked the Atrix, so maybe. I'd rather have the GSII (Within) though because it's crazy powerful. It's the most powerful Android phone out right now.

-------------

Also, does anyone else with an Evo 3D not have a clear Rosie? Mine's just black like the ones from Sense 1.0/2.0/2.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] busventinc:
Fred took your advice and got an early 150 upgrade and still have another one with my airave it gives me two upgrades now how sweet but the only way to the upgrade would be with best buy and not a sprint store

[EVO 4G Android Development] bxphantom:
I'm confused myself, its been happening since the 6/22 nightlie and I have the 6/23 nightlie now so I already wiped and reflashed.

Oh well thought I would ask, thanks for responding.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Nice. But I don't have an Airave anymore. I bought my Evo 3D and used the upgrade on my line that Sprint granted me and it's still there. My contract hasn't even been extended.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
Yeah I still have a an upgrade for my evo in august so probably check out the new stuff then. I don't have clear rosie.

Edit: what is weird skin htc shows clear in selection but not clear when applied.
[EVO 4G Android Development] busventinc:
Oh damn that is pretty sweet thanks for your advice and already hit the button btw

sent from my synergistic evo with xda premium app
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
on my 3D,nope no clear rosie, i like the rosie from the music lover skin the best, so far.

the phone app is back available for the lockscreen, YAY. but it isn't in the app drawer...odd.

today I been off charger for 13 hours with moderate to heavy usuage at times (about 4 hours of awake time) and still have 35% of the batt. I am beggining to think the combo of gingerbread , the dual cores, and other improvements by HTC have made a stock 3D a very effecient phone, battery wise and that is also taking into consideration the battery is just a tad bigger.

I think I am keeping it, they will find root eventually and it will be even more of a beast once the devs get hold of the kernel, i miss my SBC...
[EVO 4G Android Development] texasez:
I am giving the evo to my wife and I was having some issues with RLS 5 so I decided to start over and put wifes contacts and gmail account on the phone. I wiper user data, davlik, cache, and data. Also something called secure something.

I reflashed rls 5 and I am stuck on the first screen when Rls 5 says "please wait while strarting" It has been on this screen over 30 minutes. I pulled the batter and started over and reflashed rls 5 and i am still getting the same message.

Anyone have a fix or can point me in the right direction.

Using Amon Ra.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
my guess... they are trying to stop something else from happening.

a lot of people root so they can uninstall bloatware.. and since it is rooted they go ahead and do free wifi tethering. so if they let bloatware be removed.. less will root. therefore less people will use free wifi teather... which they make good money on! this is just a guess.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yeah. Another member in the Evo 3D section posted this picture he took and he has a clear Rosie. I want it! :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
did he upgrade? Maybe something for upgrading hub? Just tossing out ideas.

Maybe photo shop. I have it on my og evo. Or maybe he got root lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
maybe he got another skin apk to work? did you ask him?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bxphantom:
So, stupid question. Rosie 3.0 doesn't provide landscape mode in the home screen?

I was looking at some various reviews of the 3D as I had only read the big name ones before; does it bother anyone else when people mention 'fingerprint magnet' about a freaking touch screen device...really? ya think? I mean sure some may be a little worse than others, but it's hardly even worth mentioning. I've seen it on phone and tablet reviews...overused IMO, smh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
it's true - and dust.

i have all screens protected (evo, evo 3d and nook color)

and a little toilet tissue every other day does wonders

[EVO 4G Android Development] thfc1799:
Two lines that were both WAY out from being upgraded (398 days!) + 27mins on the phone + the account being 12 years old = two lines that are now completely eligible for two new phones...

two evo 3d's for $100... yes please...

muhahahahahaha! (insert smiley twisting his evil mustache)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
And this is exactly what I did. I was considering a tablet because I am a gadget guy. I was trying to come up with reasons for it like educational apps for the kids. My wife was cool to the idea at first, but she does braille transcribing on the side and one of her colleagues had an IPAD that she put all her manuals on. Well that got my wife excited about tablets, so I got her a XOOM for Mother's Day. She knew I originally was the one thinking about a tablet so she wanted to get me one for Father's Day, but I just couldn't justify getting another even though I could afford it. he uses hers a lot, but I do a lot on my EVO and I knew I would use a tablet occasionally.

So, I went the Nook route. I figured $250 wasn't bad and because I could boot a full android environment from the SD card without touching the default setup, I could test it out and return it within 14 days if I didn't like it. Well let me tell you, I love the thing. I overclocked it and it flies. I run CM7, but I themed it to look like Honeycomb. The size (which I initially thought was a minus) is very convenient. I bought a leather case and can carry it around as easily as I would a thin book. It has an outstanding screen as well. Here are a few of the uses I have found so far...

1) Bible Program - I used it on my EVO for a while now, but it's even nicer now. When using it in church, the size of it makes it feel almost as if I'm holding an actual bible in my hand. The bigger screen makes it even easier to read than on the EVO (which isn't bad either).

2) Netflix - streaming movies look great on it. Again, I can stream on the EVO too, but looks even nicer on the NC.

3) E-Books - This is obvious. E-books and PDF files look good on it.

I'm on a quest to find other uses for it that don't duplicate what I do on the EVO, which will be tough since I do a lot on the EVO. But for $250, it was worth getting for the amount of use I get with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
Y'know, i can take criticism, its just that everything i do gets ripped apart.

So thanks a lot guys, for making me feel great about myself. So I guess i will just shut the F*&k up from now on, since no matter what i say, it wont be recognized as anything worthwhile.

And lowetax, please, i don't need your comments that rip me, thats not cool, thats not what XDA is about. So please, stop.

XDA is supposed to be about creating a positive environment, but so far, at least on this thread, i have been met with almost nothing but hate, criticism, and flat out rude comments.

I'm not perfect, S*&t, no one is. But I would really appreciate it if everyone didn't have to make spiteful comments no matter what I say.

And i will shut up, to satisfy you trolls.

I'm trying to grow up, but I don't need you guys to help me out with that.

And I'm sure someone will post some "funny-but-stupid-and-rude" comment in reply to this post, and there isn't anything I can do about it.

So this is 14 year old me, asking you all to please take it easy against me. I'm 14, and I'm trying my best to learn as much as I can about Android dev-ing that I can.

Thats all I got people. So, thanks. Thanks for nothing.

I really hope you understand where I am coming from with this post. And if you don't, as I said, I don't want to hear it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Were you using a2sd? If so, you may want to wipe sd-ext as well. Also, what version of Amon RA are you using? If it is 2.3, these are the steps I normally take.

1) Wipe everything except SD (wiping SD will wipe your data from your fat32 partition) 2 or 3 times. Not sure if you need to do it more than once, but it doesn't take long so I figure it can't hurt.

2) Flash VR Superwipe a couple times.

Doing it this way, I have never had an issue flashing a rom (unless the rom file itself was corrupt). Give it a shot and hope it helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
You've got 218 Thanks on 425 posts. That's a pretty damned high ratio of contributions people felt were worthwhile.

So you got your **** called out on 2 things in the last few days...learn from it.

Continue making real contributions and stop making dumbass comments and you'll be fine.

All part of growing up, kiddo. Let the skin thicken up a little...

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
Thanks, I guess I was being a little (ok, a lot :D) sensitive. I guess it all comes with age :D I still have a lot to learn lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dredz:
Well. I can kinda feel your pain. I grew up smarter then most of the people I know/knew. I had teachers who couldn't teach me and adults who wouldn't conversate me. I had a a$$hole stamped on my head, but the streets of Detroit solved that. Do I suggest you get into the street life? NEVER! I have been on XDA for years and my post count is super low(got my first thanks last week). I see no need to comment on what others have commented on. If I need to find a fix, I search, read, apply and give thanks silently(click the button). As I have seen 'yungins' get ripped a new one, you have been skating along just fine. Heck, folks were even giving you a pass cause you were 14.

We all want you to learn and develop into a contributing member at the level you see fit. But this thread is like a family. Some you love, some you hate but we all have our opinions. This is my opinion only. But you can learn a lot just by listening/reading, even how to take criticism.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
Thanks a ton for your input, it really means a lot to me :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Ok everybody... Group hug!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thfc1799:
How would that work... you see technically I have three lines (2 actual lines) and a third which is for an airrave (which Sprint pays for)... Now the airrave says that I can upgrade it, but what would happen if I did?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
Agreed!!!

So I apologize to everyone for being over dramatic, and for insulting anyone. As someone said above, this thread is like a family. My skin will grow tougher as I get older, and I really appreciate everyone who has put up with my ups and downs. But its been really rough for me right now, my grandpa who I was really really close with passed away, so I apologize if my feelings have escaped onto XDA.

I look forward to continue to be with you guys on this thread.

And hey, new plan, I think i'm skipping the SGS2, and waiting for the first "Ice Cream Sandwich" device around November :) Anyone with me on that plan?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Solicitous:
In the words of Alan Matthews (from Boy Meets World), your job is to be a kid for as long as you can. Enjoy your life and live it because time flies and you WILL look back on it. It took a lot of maturity to say those things and I have nothing against you. You are cool guy, and I am sure you will come out okay. No one is forcing you to be mature, life will make you that way believe me. Just don't give others a reason to think bad of you and sure some maturity wouldn't hurt lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArmyAdams:
Dude,

The only thing i have against you is your signature. I don't see how you are a recognized developer.

From reading through this thread and others.

To me a True recognized developer is someone on Myn's or TommyTomato's stature. When you can build and modify a whole new ROM then that's developing status.

..With that being said, I commend you for being so young and wanting to learn. Most 14 year old boys are Call of Duty pests, or skater punks... So your on the right path my friend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dredz:
No problem.:D

And remember, silence is golden...

but duct tape is silver! :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Okay, let me try to help you out here. I'll try to give you a few words of advice.

1) If you really are 14 (i will take your word for it), don't try to act like you know it all. Be humble. Heck, that's true even for us older folk.

2) It was said already, but don't ask for respect (or thanks). Respect is earned. You know the best way to earn it? By giving it to others. Obviously there are those here that feel you try to take credit for other people's work and not credit them at all. If that is indeed true, that's not giving respect and you should stop that immediately.

3) You need to learn if/when something is appropriate to say. I admit, this is a tough one and comes with experience. You'll get better at it. I'll give you an example. You made a positive step earlier when you made what seemed like a genuine apology. Vanessm commended you on it and what did you do? You turned around and made a snide remark about a typo she made. You say it was a joke, but it just didn't come off well and you quickly undid any goodwill you earned with the apology. See where I'm coming from?

I'll say this. I apologize for my part in making you feel unwelcome here. It was not my intent. If you really are 14 and want to learn, try to take what we say as constructive criticism. Learning how to mature into responsible/respectful young adult will take you a lot further than just learning about android. With that said, if you say something that I feel is incorrect or immature I will comment on it. But again, take it as constructive criticism and nothing personal. You are welcome here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
Cool I'm 14 as well. I've only seen 3 other people my age here. Glad to know there's more...

Btw don't stop commenting. You have over 200 thanks people must find you helpful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
Big thanks to you as well. And i'm afraid i have run out of "thanks's" for the day :D

As far as #2 goes, I really regret making the comment about her typo, I posted that, signed off, and in the middle of my tennis match, thought about that, and had a major pang of guilt hit me. It was to late to fix it by the time the match was over, but i want you all to know, especially vannesm that i am very sorry for doing that. I guess you could call that the 14 year old in my breaking loose :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Sorry about your grandpa. My prayers go out to your family.

Okay Guys, searched but found no answer. Since I've been using Myn's 2.2, many of my apps disappear (Apps on SD) seemingly when I do an "update all" in the market. Also seems to get stuck on "Installing" Any ideas? Otherwise, this ROM's been great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
Give it some time... It is WELL documented on this thread, and MANY other threads here that if you don't unplug the charger as soon as you hit 100%, the charge shuts off and the phone starts working off the battery. This is normal, to reduce chances of damaging the LiPo battery or the phone.

After you disconnect the charger and the battery starts to drop, plug it back in which will restart the charging process. As soon as the battery reaches 100%, unplug it. You will not see the rapid drop of the first 10% of battery.
