i hate that comparison the miui rom is not based on the iphone its based on japanese phone that has the name miui in it and it is bad ass as hell but no one knows and always says its like the iphone i honestly say the **** the iphone i had one and it lagged so bad and crashed tons of times and once a new one comes out they forget about their older ones

sorry for my rant but yeah

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
Well for some reason my dialer data keeps ballooning up its a 15 megs right now which is horrible.. how can i clear this specifically? and why is this like this? My dad email data was at almost 100 megs and the techs told him to wipe and that fixed it but of course he lost all of his stuff
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryyyan:
Don't worry you wont need to do a wipe.

If you clear up some of your sms it will bring your dialer data down. You probably send and receive a good a amount of mms yeah? Just go through your threads with mms in them and delete the mms. You dont have to delete the picture just delete the mms. Save the pictures before you delete the mms if you dont want to lose the pictures.
[Droid 2 General] drathx:
Okay guys. So I've successfully rooted the phone, removed bloatware, played with different ROMs, but this one stupid "OK" button is puzzling me.

WHAT DOES THE OKAY BUTTON DO????

It doesn't do what I expect it to do.. most of the time it does nothing. If I hold it down while texting it just highlights everything in red.
[Droid 2 General] one.:
I've been wondering the same thing since day 1.

The best answer I can offer as of yet is "nothing"
[Droid 2 General] gpgorbosjr:
The ok button is like hitting enter or a left mouse click in some cases. If you are scrolling through clickable links in the browser or the marketplace ok will click on the link and open it (you may have noticed enter or return doesn't do that). I imagine it also selects yes if a yes/no dialogue box comes up.
[Droid 2 General] drathx:
Not precisely. That would be what we expect of an "OK" button. :confused: Thx for replying. :D

Does anyone know exactly what this f*'in OK button does on the Droid2???????? :confused:
[Droid 2 General] Polymira:
The same thing as the center of the dpad did on the D1....

If you use the arrow keys to select something on screen, like an icon, link, or menu item. The ok button would do the same as tapping on it... you can even hold it on an item to get the same effect as long press.
[Droid 2 General] gpgorbosjr:
Um......that is what it does.

I was wrong about it selecting yes in a yes/no box, I thought I had done that once.

But what it does do, is as I sad, and the poster above me said. It clicks on links or linkable type things (such as an app in the market).

The poster above me said the same thing, only in a better way. It is like the center of the dpad (or clicking the trackpad on other android phones). It is sort of like finger pressing what you are on without using the touch screen.

I couldn't find this posted anywhere so forgive me if this is redundant. I saw a video on YouTube about a hack for the iPhone that allows them to video chat over 3G. I must say, it was a lot more laggy than the experience I had with my Evo over 3g. I know you can expect too much over 3g, but I thought it would have been a little better after all the fuss they made about that damn Facetime.

Oh well.... moving on
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Some days I cant stream a youtube video. Some days I can. Full signal both times. Sprints network is very very shady. ATTs is faster but much spottier. Tradeoff.

[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
What does this have to do with the Evo?
[EVO 4G General] bsims85:
Just that everybody complains that Qik and Fring are so bad. Yes Facetime is much is better over WiFi, but its really no better over a normal 3G connection. At least in in my opinion.
[EVO 4G General] brol1k:
3g compared to 4g is night and day, video chat was intended naturally to be ran over 4g and WiFi.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Just another fanboy. In NYC I get AT&T HSPA and downlinks of 3-4 Mbs. I haven't found a need to jail break my iPhone 4, but if I did, that'd be enough to make it look the same as over WiFi.

And since this was just another pointless bashing thread I'm going to throw some reality into it. Facetime video chats look and work infinitely better than any video chat app on Android whether over 3g, 4g, or WiFi. As a EVO user this is actually a legitimate complaint from me. The front cam on the EVO is 1.3 MP and still looks worse than the VGA front cam on the iPhone 4. It's time that HTC starts prioritizing quality over marketing numbers.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I cant really disagree with this.... plus the fact that we really dont have a dedicated video chat option because Qik is TERRIBLE. Quality on Fring is just as bad and the sound is all garbled over the speaker.
[EVO 4G General] potheadhero:
I used facetime with my iPhone tethered to my Evo on 3g today and it worked great with very little lag every now and then. So could be the area you are in.
[EVO 4G General] srtpusher:

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I live by Prospect Park in Brooklyn which last time I checked was in NYC, I have no idea where you got downtown NYC from. Anyway, I get 3-4 Mbps no problem. I'm not lying and don't care if you don't believe me. Just come down here and see for yourself. You'll feel stupid. I guarantee it.

I have no problem calling out where both the iPhone 4 and EVO fails. But you? I swear you're one of the biggest fanboys on here.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
no you don't, all you've been doing is calling out evo on crap.

as far as your 3-4mbs goes, apparantly you're one of the only ones getting it. btw if your speed drops, remember to hold it in a different position.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/iphon...nd-hsupa-can-double-3g-bandwidth-speeds/36336

3-4 Mbps if you're in a HSPA area IS NOT UNCOMMON.

As for being critical of the EVO, besides the 4.3" screen and WiMax, there' just a lot to be critical of. If you can't fail to see that other phones, and no I'm not talking about the iPhone 4, are making the EVO feel old, then you're just blind. Can I still enjoy my EVO? I do everyday. It's just a shame that HTC has a habit of including bad cameras and released a banner phone just before they refreshed their hardware.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Ahh must have been me and I didn't notice
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
I never said anything about HSPA or the speeds on at&t, I said that nyc doesn't get a good connection at all. 70-80% of nyc is a blackhole for iphone service, i've known multiple people who had to switch providers cause of constant drop calls and loss of service.

And who cares if the gpu is old? if you wanna play games then you should of taken your money and bought a xbox 360 or a ps3.

As far as bashing htc goes, there is no provider out there that doesn't have flaws, and considering phones like epic (software + hardware issues), and iphone which has the worst design when it comes to antenna placement, and not to mention the bw cap, evo is still 10000x better then both of those even with its outdated gpu.

I'd rather take a phone that connects to my service all the time, and has a great gui with decent update speeds then either of the problems that come with those two phones. I don't care about the camera, the camera on the phone is pointless. I don't use it and half the people out there probably wont either. Who cares if your screen is brighter and has a little apple logo on the back? Cause I certainly don't. Apple started a monopoly of smart phones (touch screen ones with good apps atleast), and with that head start they blinded everyone with their crap.

I'm not even going to go into their other products that have been rehashed and resold as if something "new" was added to it. Steve jobs is a great marketer to have convinced everyone that the new products have something "better" then the old ones. But considering the lack of education in the usa, that wasn't a hard task. In a couple of months he will go out on that stage again and tell the people about his iphone5 which still runs on 3g and has a brighter touch screen but they managed to fix the antenna issue, everything else is the same. the iphone and any of the apple products are just a marketing scheme that's it, he found a good niche and he made billions off of it, just by rehashing it over and over and over.
[EVO 4G General] GaryJ51:
I really enjoyed when Fring had Skype capability. When I first got my EVO I was in a State Park in Virginia and my son was in Europe. Every day we would make a video connection. It worked just fine. I've been looking for a good alternative, as he will be heading to South American in the Spring.

So i need to find a good way to video connect over internet to his nettop from my EVO. Any ideas appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
If you ask anyone that goes to a conference with a lot of people, and they have an iphone, they can pretty much tell you that there service sucks. This is mainly due to the fact that there are so many phones riding off of the same tower at the same time, that it overloads it. It would be the same as if we were to substitute apple into this.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
AT&T is not a black hole in Brooklyn. I live and work from here and get good data speeds. I don't know what else to say.

This is such a stupid argument; for one, I can't even run a live wall paper without having the home screen and app drawer lag like hell. And aside from that, why not have the option of playing good games smoothly? The Galaxy S does it for the same price and the iPhone does it as well. We have smart phones, expect more, not less. Especially when they are already including the features.

Right.. keep thinking that. You have the best phone ever made, there are no arguments.

Ah, so you have the best phone but it doesn't have a good GPU or camera? Oh that's right, those things don't matter. The quality of the display isn't good either? But yeah, of course, that doesn't matter either. The EVO is still the best phone because apparently almost nothing on a smart phone matters. You have the perspective of a fanboy champion.

Let's see, next year Apple will announce the iPhone 5 with a better CPU, better camera, more RAM, basically more updated specs like they always have. Hell, just like any other new phone does. The only thing that differs between the iPhone and other phones is that it maintains a consistent brand identity which not many other phones do. I'm not sure how the hell you managed think that it doesn't change.

It's so obvious that you're blinded by your own fanboy hate. The EVO isn't the best phone on the planet, and in a lot of ways, the iPhone 4 isn't either. It's okay to think objectively some times.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
you're a ****ing dumbass, I'm not even going to go through with so many idiotic comebacks you just made. Keep biting into steve jobs marketing plan, maybe you will get somewhere in life by getting taken for your money over and over.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Yes, because according to you I apparently own a ton Apple products, right. You don't know anything about me other than that I own a iPhone 4. I run a small digital shop and in a swarm of OSX power Macs, I run Windows 7 -- I don't know if it's recorded, but a admin could probably prove that if they wanted to. Like I said, some people can appreciate good gadgets, you though, you're something else.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
there is a difference between "good" gadgets and something that becomes good because of a little stamp on the back. Same thing goes for cars, I've spent months if not years at car auctions and the same way todays electronics work, is the same way cars work. An 02 mercedes benz with problems will sell for a minimum of 6k, while an 06 Volkswagen will sell for the same price. The only difference between the cars other than the age is that the benz has a little stamp inside and outside its car that says its a benz, raising its value by a couple thousand.

Same **** goes for your precious iphone. The reason for all the drama and pricing on it isn't because of its "awesome hardware" its because of the publicity it received, and because of that you are paying few hundred dollars more for that little stamp to be on the back, rather then quality service and products. Like I said your icrap products are all about the way it was marketed. half his **** isn't even new, he just rehashed it from other peoples product, put a aluminum body on it and put the apple logo on top and marked the price up by a few hundred dollars. as far as upgrades and new products go, they haven't done anything new, they use almost identical hardware in each of their platforms. They released iphone 3g and a few months later they released almost identical version of iphone 3gs, but guess what, all the american retards rushed to line to buy it, just cause it was "new". There was barely any noticeable difference on the phones, but of course because of that apple logo, it sold out.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Really that's your argument? I'd agree if we were talking about laptops/desktops but the iPhone is different.

I recently had to buy a Macbook Pro because I need OS X for development, and yeah, it was outrageously over priced. My old 15" Envy had a higher resolution screen than what the 15" Macbook Pro even offered. A better GPU. Roughly equivalent CPU. More RAM. A killer aftermarket SSD. All for A LOT less. The build of the Macbook Pro is unmatched but it's not worth the mark up. That said, the iPhone 4 is different.

First it has as much RAM (512MB) as any other phone except the recently announced Desire HD which hasn't even been released yet. The A4 is a current gen 45nm CPU/GPU but underpowered by SGS line (..and soon Desire HD) but GPU-wise it is still twice as fast as the EVO and in line with all other new Android phones. 32 GB preloaded ROM, it may not expandable but it's stock. The Camera's, both front and back, are better than any current smart phone on the market. It's display was recently called the best by DisplayMate, and it has the highest resolution smart phone screen on the market. The build is as usual really high. When it was announced/released it was pretty much the most high end phone on the market - and this includes the EVO - but my comparison are of present. Either way, to throw a shoot in there since I know it will bother you, the iPhone 4's specs still compete with today's smart phones. The EVO? It's just a re-branded HD2 with a FF cam, kick stand, HDMI out, and WiMax radio but deep inside it's pretty much a 2009 spec'd phone.

But like I said, the iPhone is a different beast. You can claim hype all you want but the iPhone costs just as much as any other phone and still comes out on top when reviews come in. Like all tech, newer better stuff will come out between when it was first released and when the next was is released. But at launch, there is no way you can make that claim. Great hardware and great software (OS/Apps) without the mark up. Where as they markup Macs for profit by using branding/positioning, with the iPhone, they have the App Store/iTunes to make a ton of money. That's what makes the difference.

My suggestion is not to get all bent out of shape over things like this. It doesn't make you look good. Even though the EVO is not all that great spec wise, it still serves its purpose for me and I enjoy using it for those things.
[EVO 4G General] SteveDusa:
There are few things I've personally noticed.

For some reason, GSM networks (including the 3.5 and 3.75G systems) in the west (pretty much anything WEST of the Rocky Mountains) are not as good as they are in the east. Same goes for CDMA networks but different direction.

I have an AT&T WWAN data card for on the go and my beloved Evo... Now in the west coast (LA, SD, SF and LV for me), for some reason AT&T just can't quite keep their promise of "Nation's fastest network". Often I get very bad speed, even when I'm connected to the 3.5 or 3.75G systems. On the CDMA side, my Evo's EvDO simply out-do the AT&T data card in terms of speed.

HOWEVER... when I travel to the east (NYC, ChiTown, Orlando and others) it's a complete opposite. My AT&T data card blazes and my Evo is slow as heck.

I believe it's a network construction imbalance between the coasts.

But one thing for sure though, you won't be able to make video call over 3G (EvDO) CDMA networks because let's face it, once you placed your call, it's stuck at 1xRTT.

So my friend wanted me to root his phone and after having success and understanding in the rooting process and reading and re reading these forums I rooted and flashed cm6 for him.

Problem I forgot to nandroid his phone before the fun began. Now after the flash he noticed lag so i flashed a new kernel in and now it keeps rebooting ok so i tried flashing a lower kernel and then wiped and reflashed the rom.

In the recovery it brings up that E: Cant open CACHE:recovery/log

I am wondering if that is the reason that it cannot handle the rom anymore because it will go to boot up and when he is in set up it gives him a force close. after that the screen is black with only the notification bar up top able to be used. help please...

Is there a way to get full voltage?
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
You will have to look at the specs on the charger and see what the output current is. If it is 1 amp (1A) then you will be getting the maximum current. I actually use a DC to AC converter that has USB plug in it and it has a 1.2A out.
[Hero CDMA General] chawski:
i have a generic cig lighter to usb plug that i use to charge my phone in the car, and its pretty bad at best. When using Pandora on the road, the battery drains faster than it charges. is it due to weak output at the cig lighter socket or only running at 1A?
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
Some phones can not charge at 1 amp. HTC phones require

more current than a lot of phones. Check your output current rating on the charger. You might need to look at getting a higher rated one.

I use a Phillips USB adaptor that plugs into the accessory port. I can run GPS and music and still get a charge. I use my longer PS3 charger cable for the remotes with it and it hasn't failed me yet.
