or just reflash the radio ??same one
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
radio has nothing to do with it but u could update your radio look for the radio forum and also download the pri 1.77_003 it just makes signal a lil better
[EVO 4G Android Development] timetraveler:
was going to update the pri to the 1.77.003 but i can not find the original 1.40.003 pri just in case i don't like the new pri 1.77.003 but i will get the new radio 215.00.09.01 got the old radio to go back to lol

do you have the 1.40.003 pri or is it not available if i make the change to new 1.77.003 pri i'am stuck ??
[EVO 4G Android Development] timetraveler:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
its not really going to make much of a dif. nothing you will notice its just to keep your phones stuff up to date. only 2 you can get is 1.34 or 1.77 not anythig else

Evo flashed to metro

Thanks to Bloodykiller86's mms and data provisioning guide, my evo is fully working with internet, and picture messaging. All i did was take it to an authorized metro dealer, paid 20 for them to add my esn to metro's database with my existing acct. Only talk and txt was working, until i came home and setup my mms and data with Bloodykiller86's instructions for qpst settings, and metrodroid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] abatman:
No luck at the Metro PCS store today

I have followed all the steps twice and double checked both times. Everything looks correct because the second time i went through the process everything already looked changed. Since i don't have a metro pcs account i just put my old boost number @mymetropcs.com for now.

I was wondering if i should expect to hear metro pcs customer service when i dial *611. right now it says "your account is not authorized to make calls to this phone number & to add additional capabilities call customer service". When i took it to get activated they said its not done right because it doesn't show up when they type the ESN into there computer. I thought they needed to do something to add it if its the first time using it.

Any help would be much appreciated. I have an HD2 a Nexus One and a G1 all rooted so i love doing this stuff i just don't know if i did something wrong or if the lady at metro doesn't know what she needs to do to activate it.

Did your Youtube work fine with "OMJ_EVO_2.2_Froyo_v3.5_Sapphire" ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] myluvcandle:
Contact me , i can help ........
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
those are old post luv lol..but anyways...abatman yea u need to add your esn and add it to an account just setting up a phone to metro isnt going to give u metro service. go to a metro store and ask for it to be flashed to metro for just basic talk and text or look on craigslist for people who do it and then you can follow my guide to get data and mms
[EVO 4G Android Development] myluvcandle:
you should use just one software cos qpst and cdma workshop cant connect to the same port at once..

Right click on the QPST icon on taskbar and click cloese ( might ask for a forceclose...force close it ) and then try cdma workshop.

or you can shut cdma workshop down and just use qpst to read phone..
[EVO 4G Android Development] myluvcandle:
ok, just tryna help the much i can
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
nope...play for few second and would suddenly stop...most of the time it doen't play at all....
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
I dont have my phone yet... Im going to get it today... :D...

Cuz i told em to upgrade my ROM :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] abatman:
Thank you very much for your help. I though there was a way to flash it on your own completely, then just get an account. I will take care of it today this is awesome!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
hey now i got something new.

at some point something happened and evidently i'm sending out sms but they're not coming in?

i haven't changed anything in qpst or epst settings (i cant even access them 'cause i'm on cm6). i've tried different kernels and stuff but nothing that (from my perspective) should have made sms only work one way!

any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
thats a prob that happens on cm6 sometimes u have to switch to a sense based rom send a text and then go back
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
Yea, I head CM6 have problems....That why I used Warm TwoPointTwo.... it's nice looking rom...
[EVO 4G Android Development] eacartagena:
How do I get the esn added to the network? Shouldn't this be in here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
no this guide assumes that u have done that already and have an account with metropcs with talk and text atleast working
[EVO 4G Android Development] eacartagena:
Ok I have an account activated and I did the whole process for the evo I just didn't know how to get the esn on metro pcs could you direct me or inform me please?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boostin91tsi:
Hello All!

Before some of you start blasting me, I have searched and Googled everywhere for a 2.2 ROM with a theme that might be simliar to Windows Mobile 6.5. I like it because it has a clean look with the missed calls and appointments available for the home screen. I thought I saw one ROM theme once that had one very similar to the WM 6.5, but after searching everywhere, I couldn't find it. If it is out there, please point me in the correct direction? But if so, I am actually willing to pay for a theme similar to Windows Mobile. I am currently running VirusROM with SENSE. Thanks for your help!

John
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@XLOL:
thread title contains the word theme.... common sense would dictate that you would post this in the themes and apps section of this forum.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DaemonAshra:
I posted this problem on the CM forums as well, but thought there may be some more opinions on the subject here on XDA.

I don't know if other people with Mytouch 1.2 phones are having this issue, but every time i unplug my headphone from the jack, either the Google Listen app or the Music app will turn on and play the last item i was listening to. This happens even if i try to use a task killer to force close both. they always open back up and start playing again. this has happened on CM6.0.0-DS, CM5.0.8, Chromatic 4.5, and a couple other ROMs i've tried.

Is there something i can do to make this apps stay closed when I'm not using them? i already got rid of Listen, but i like listening to my music and dont want to have to uninstall the music app...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Open music and hit menu to get to settings. What all do you have checked there?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] C0dy:
Same thing happens to me on CM and Chromatic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Don't use CM then...?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DaemonAshra:
Just opened it up and everything is unchecked by default.

I guess since Chromatic is a skinned CM5.0.8, the problem would persist, but if its happening with every ROM, my only thought is that it might be the headphone jack itself not working quite right with the ROMs. i know CM6 is supposed to work with the Dream and original Magic. neither of which have a headphone jack. but thats as far as ive gotten in my thinking since i cant code or troubleshoot...

thanks for the infinite wisdom. I've tried using various ROMs. at the moment, there really aren't any MT3G 1.2 ROMs that aren't CM due to the phone's weird radio/board configuration.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I've got the myTouch with the headphone Jack and the only time I run into that problem is if I get a call while listening to music with headphones and unplug them to answer. But even then the music doesn't start playing until I end the call. Try using Advanced Task Killer or going to applications from the settings menu and force stopping the music app.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] C0dy:
It looks like the problems are caused by Music Mod. I've tried Mort Player and the HTC Sense player and music doesn't play when I unplug headphones.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Try this ROM with the 32A kernel posted in Cyan's CM6 thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qc415:
So I've started getting a very weird "ghost touch" on my evo. Rather than try to explain what it is, here's a video (no links for newbs apparently) ###youtube.com/watch?v=0zW934J0UQ8

So you'd think it's a hardware issue but I have this hypothesis that it's some kind of software issue because it happened right after I switched from Fresh 3.1 to Fresh 3.2. It also goes away if you standby and it's somewhat intermittent.

The only problem with the software hypothesis is after it happened, Fresh 3.3 came out so I loaded that up trying to get rid of the problem and then I loaded Ava, and now I'm on Virus and the problem hasn't gone away. I've also switched up kernals a few times with no result. Radio\PRI\Wifi maybe but I don't know how that would affect it. So it may be that's just me not wanting to have to return my phone, but any thoughts would be appreciated before I go back to stock and get a new one.

I have owned the HTC 8525 and now own the HTC Tilt 2 and I want to upgrade to another phone with a qwerty keyboard. I was wondering what options are out and/or coming out? I'm looking to get an android or something with WP7 and at&t is my carrier. Any input on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[General Topics] kosmarnik:
Eh? Lern2internet.

Or is google and Engadget too hard for you?

But while I'm at it let me spoonfeed you:

HTC G2

Motorola Droid 1/2

HTC Vision

HTC Desire Z

Google for more...srsly
[General Topics] Bezzletine:
No need to be a ****. I did use google but seeing as how this site is FULL of people who live and breathe mobile devices I figured that I would find more information here even after checking Google, Engadget, Gizmodo, GadgetU, GSMarena etc... If you come across any of my other threads and you feel the need to be a complete asshole just feel free to click the back button and pretend you never saw my thread. Thanks for the little help you provided anyway though. Have a good day lol
[General Topics] sam.mark:
o'll suggest an HTC hd2 or desire..

they are great phones..
[General Topics] kosmarnik:
Nah, there is.

You did it wrong, probably.

Ow, now my help is little, cause I called you out? LOL

It was such a simple and easily googlable question that deserved a much worse answer (or just ignoring) then mine + it's so bloody broad that at least 20 phones or more would fit it.

I answered cause I'm looking for a possible TP2 replacement and after I saw your question I actually googled it and came up with this in 5 min. So it's not that hard.

Um, which part of qwerty did you overlook? Also why HD2 when you got Android HD2: Evo 4g?
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
Agreed. Not the most helpfull answer Kosmarnik.

As it goes, you might want to look up the Samsung S Pro. The standard S model has reports of serious GPS issues however, the S Pro has been delayed so maybe thats to fix these issues?
[General Topics] orb3000:
I like the Desire Z but it´s only Android:(

Hope HTC launches a hardware keyboard device with WM so I´ll be able to run both OS in one device!!
[General Topics] Bezzletine:
I've never heard of the S Pro but I think I kinda like it. I think i'm going to look more into that phone. Thanks

That is EXACTLY why I want another WM phone lol.
[General Topics] matejdro:
I doubt that. Probably HTC is finished with WM.
[General Topics] twitch351:
Two things:

1.) Why get a EVO? They're overhyped. The HD2 has better RAM (Evo: 512MB HD2: 548 MB) and runs WM, plus, you can boot Android off of it and that in my opinion makes it better because you can have two fully functional OS's. The only thing Evo has over the HD2 is the 4G that not everyone can get in their area, and an 8MP camera.

2.) Really, if you have a problem with the person's question shut the hell up and get off his thread. XDA is supposed to welcome people and treat each one with respect. You make people feel unwelcomed. Either help the person out without criticism, or get a life and stop hassling people for their questions. Dickhead. :D
[General Topics] darth_vato:
kosmarnik is probably the worst poster on this entire website. Seriously, there are autistic children with better communication skills than him.
[General Topics] twitch351:
Hahaha! You hit the nail on the head with that one! He makes me feel ashamed to have the same phone as him. :p
[General Topics] kosmarnik:
Not probably but surely.

Sure sure, but WinMo is a dead platform while Evo is a native Android device. If you can't get Evo, well, go for HD2, but otherwise you're just setting your self up for unneeded work/compatibility issues...

Also for most people just flashing a new rom is too hard, so running a dual-boot setup is out of the question.

Nah, this thread is of interest to me, as mentioned before.

I did not insult anyone, I merely suggested that he get's on with the times and learns to Google/Bing/Search forum, if in a tad jesting manner, but insult him I did not. Plus he called for any input on the topic :D

You on the other hand, rushed in with your whitekinghting and insults. Pfft. I fart in your general direction.

Searching before posting is just common sense.

Now, can we continue with the mourning of Rhodium and lamenting the lack of a decent successor?

And thanks to using the SEARCH BUTTON I found out that Desire Z/G2/Merge are the same phone: HTC Vision with different amounts of ROM! That clears up a lot, but leaves me sad.

Vision seems to use the Rhodium keyboard form, but only 4 rows??? Why do that? And no tilt? 800MHz?

Also, first reports say that the slide hinge is broken:

Ugh. Why HTC? Why?

Update: way to go darth_vato, more internet whiteknights to rescue the thread with their contributions! Now with free lame insults!
[General Topics] shoemeistah:
If you're looking for a hardware keyboard I'd recommend the HTC Desire Z because at 800mhz it's benchmarks are very near the 1ghz ones in HTC Desire/Google Nexus One. And it looks quite good with Sense UI.

[General Topics] orb3000:
I don´t think so...
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
Sorry, didn't realise you were also listing WP7. In that case, check out the Dell Lightining. In all honesty, as long WP7 holds up and does what I need (FULL Exchange) then this will probably be my next phone.

Only one serious concern, I understand that it might not work with SD cards at first release. I currently have a 32gb card full of tv progs, music and work data... this would be a deal killer for me :( Guess will find out for sure on Monday!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't remember having the ads before either.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Bumbola:
You can go into landscape mode only inside a thread. And the ads r definetly new.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Guest69:
Hmm, apart from a brief new loading screen, I don't see any improvement with this. Don't want to complain about a free app but in my opinion this is a bum update that should have been left alone!

I am need landscape. Or previous version please

Gotta say i dont regard it as an improvement. Still free though.

any reason for lack of landscape outside threads? Its a bit like the facebook app update

I'm currently on the no longer available SERO plan from sprint. So i'm very reluctant to do anything that changes my plan considering how much i am saving each month.

Right now i have a touch pro2. I'm wondering if i buy an EVO somewhere (other then sprint) and activate it, will sprint know i am using an EVO? I'm not going to pay the extra $10/month considering that extra $10 doesn't get me anything extra that i wouldn't get with any other android phone.

I wasn't sure if the phone itself reports to sprint what phone it is. or if it does, if there's someway to have it report itself as something else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
I believe when they run the esn to activate it, it tells them what type of phone it is. If this is the case, you will have to pay the $10/month.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OgremustCrush:
I believe that if you try to activate an EVO on a SERO plan it will not only charge you the $10/mo premium data fee but it will also require you to change to an Everything * plan. They know what type of phone it is based on the ESN you put in to activate it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
yes Sprint knows what phone is active

Yes Sprint knows what phone you have because you have a serial number that is registered with sprint. This serial number is what the network uses to allow you to make calls billing etc. Being sprint uses a serial number they know what your phone is not like a sim where you can just switch to another phone. Hope this helps any more questions let me know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
Sorry for the confusion - i am aware i'll have to switch to an everything plan. Plus i will have to pay the $10/month on top of the everything plan.

I'd consider paying the everything plan. But the $10 fee really pisses me off since they are basically just making up an excuse to ask for an extra $10 and not giving me anything for the $10 that i wouldn't get with any other android or winmo phone.

How does the ESN # tell them what phone i have? Do they have a database with all the ESN numbers in it? or is the number formatted in a certain way that it containts the model number?

I don't suppose there's any way for me to spoof the esn and have it appear to be the same as my current phone?

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeLL116:
HTC could very well give sprint and all of the carriers for which they develope exclusive phones the unique ESN numbers. That's how they would match the ESN to whatever phone you activate.

If anyone finds a way to spoof the ESN, you'd be cutting deeper into the pockets of sprint. They don't care too much that we modders get free tethering because the average person wouldn't go through all of the trouble rooting the phone, not to mention that they know, that we know, we're already paying for the data. It's kinda like Sprint saying, "Ok, you are paying for it anyway, so, if you can do it, go aheadn and root your phone."

Once you start spoofing ESN numbers on a mass scale, and circumventing that $10 surcharge, you can guarantee all of this rooting will be put to an end.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
The ESN is only on that one phone, and sprint has a database with all sprint activated ESNs. I have heard, sprint will not activate a phone not in their database. As for the ESN "cloning" in can be done, but i believe its not legal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
FWIW,

As memory serves, Sprint uses both an ESN, and the MAC address to track their customers. It is possible to find, and modify an ESN, and to "spoof" a MAC.

However, other than mention that there are articles in the forums on the ESN (and likely on the MAC). I'll refrain from providing a detailed how-to on the subject - I hope you understand, nothing personal. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
I understand what you are saying. but it doesn't change my opinion. I wont pay $10 extra month just because they want it. That $10 doesn't give me anything extra I wouldn't get with any other smart phone. When i asked sprint about it, they told me it was for the enhanced data experience or some crap like that - basically telling me it was due to the larger screen or faster proc - both of which i've already paid for when i buy the phone. And even if they want to argue i MIGHT use more data, so what? I'm already pay for 'unlimited' data. They can charge me $10 when i over the 'unlimited' limit.

They already rip us off with the fees they charge for text messages, so i dont have any sympathy for the cell phone companies. I'm not trying to get something for free. I'm willing to keep paying my monthly bill. I'm just not willing to pay a made up fee that doesn't give me any additional service just because i want a phone, that i'll be paying for, with a bigger screen/fast cpu.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
would an 'unlocked' phone be one that's not in there db?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
not taken personally - i'll do some googleing later on the esn and see what i find. thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeLL116:
I completely agree with you, man. I was actually thinking about the dumb-ass explanation that Sprint gave me when I asked them why I'd be charged an extra $10 a month. I remember saying something to the salesgirl like, "You know that's all bull****, right."

Go spoofing to your heart's greatest desire, I'm just saying, when you take money out of someone's pocket, you start drawing more heat.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
Just talked my sister that sells phones, she said yes the esn tells sprint the model number...so your only option would be to "clone" the esn of your old phone.
