Coupon Codes

Someone today asked for coupon codes. These were on antirebate.com today:

$5 off $30 code: PICKFIVE

$10 off $50 code: PICKTEN

Exp 11/6.

I ordered my tablet on the 28th. Called today, because when I logged into my account, it didn't show my order when I clicked "show all orders". The woman said it was in process, and I would get an email when it shipped. Estimated delivery when I ordered was mid-November. Thought about getting one elsewhere, but the combination of price plus being able to return a mile from home is keeping me from doing that. Don't have that option with Dealextreme or meritline (although I've bought many things from meritline in the past). Plus, meritline is out of stock on the tablet that looks identical to the maylong. Still hoping I get it eventually!

I ordered mine last Tuesday, and anytime I've called to find out where it is, it's the same old song and dance. The problem with things like this is I end up getting so excited over the possibilities of what it could do, I get impatient waiting for it to come in.

I ended up just ordering the DealExtreme model sku 44080 for $5 more, with free shipping. Let's see how long it takes in comparison. It's the exact same hardware by all accounts, plus a seemingly better battery.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ulasamosa:
I finally got my shipping confirmation this morning after being in "processing" for 11 days. Thats just terrible. I dont care if they were low on stock they should have had a better answer for me the "its still processing". I would have ordered the dealextreme one and had it by now. Hopefully UPS doesnt take forever getting it to me. Knowing my luck its going to be defective out of the box too.....

Amazing how impatient we all are to want to get our hands on and play with our damn toys

I looked at the Walgreens site again and they say ships in 7 WORKING days, which depending on the day of the week you ordered it could go 11 days and throw election day in there and you could be looking at 12 or more, so I'm still hoping.

Keeping the 1.6 with a Home Screen change...

Okay, i have broke down and purchased one.

Since 2.1 doesn't support flash, i really don't care to root and upgrade higher than 1.6. I got one for my wife as a x-mas gift. I want to install the Kindle APP and place it on the Home screen.

My question is (for all you folks that already have one). Can I put a shortcut to the Kindle app on the home screen like I can with my 2.1 Android? I have read in the PAGES of posts earlier that I can side port the Kindle app and install it.

And, how about any sleeves or cases ideas?

I have been rooted for a while now and had bakedsnack 1.4 installed for about 2 months now. Everything was stable until a few days ago when it started rebooting randomly then much more often so I decided it was to time to update...went for Ava v9. After reseting factory defaults, wiping cache, wiping dalvik, I installed the rom. Immediate infinite loop reboot, tried this rom 2 more times then the newest baked snack then the plain rooted stock. All are infinite reboot loops...I have wiped numerous times now and can't seem to find a problem, I have updated my radios and everything trying to fix this to no avail. I could really use some help...here is a catlog of my bootup and 2 of the infinite reboots after a clean install.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I had the EXACT same problem as you. Was the PU fail next to the boot line during the update? If so, then I think you've got bad blocks in your boot partition and I hate to say it but you might not be able to flash any custom kernels anymore. Once I finally got mine booted, the only kernel that worked was a stock one. I was able to flash Fresh, but HAD to keep the kernel stock. I ended up calling Asurion and filed a claim. Got my new evo today and am having no issues.

TO GET IT TO WORK, ONCE YOU ARE STUCK IN BOOTLOADER, JUST RE-UPDATE AND THE BAD BLOCKS WILL GO AWAY. OR AT LEAST THAT WORKED FOR ME.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Yup, failed for me the first time but worked the second. My phone was never the same after I went through that ordeal. No custom kernels worked, terribly sluggish performance, constant reboots. That's why I said f*ck it and had Asurion send me a new one.

I've done what I think dkdude36 did [install PC36IMG] and did get PU fail, and now i'm stuck in HBOOT/BOOTLOADER as expected. Now I only have the few options in bootloader and don't know what to do. I've rebooted and gotten the bootloops then wen't back into bootloader and it loads PC36IMG but it doesn't give me the option to update again. Am I supposed to do something in order for it to give me that option again? If so, what? As of now, I'm stuck and am bricked (hopefully not permanently).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horiveira:
what if we run:

what will happen? will it prompt me to update with PC36IMG.zip as it did the first time?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
The boot erase didn't work because the zip replaced the hboot with stock. You need to flash engineering .76. If somebody needs the link I will post when I get home later.

screwed with EVERYTHING I could think of.

did a "flash_image misc boot-eng.img" from the root tut, not sure if that did anything but it may have.

then have been following the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765496 and have managed to boot into 2.1 with no restarts!

Have it rooted in a SEMI usable state..probably more like a watch now. If I don't do to much with it..it doesn't reboot. I guess its better than a full brick to hold me over until I can afford to get a new one..

My progress:

I've done everything that I could think of before somehow successfully unrooting via this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780141&highlight=unroot

The PC36IMG didn't give me any problems.

I'm satisfied with this for now but after this post I'm going to try to root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horiveira:
alright, using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765496

I got to the end of part 1 where I rebooted out of recovery into the ROM. The ROM loaded, but then it rebooted randomly and something weird happened: it tried to reboot then it just freaked out and vibrated 5 times. Right now it's off and for some reason the led is flashing green.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horiveira:
after taking the battery out after the freakout, I continued with the method and managed to flash Fresh. It was running well, I was even able to restore all of my apps. As soon as I tried to update all of my apps in the Market, though, I got the freakout again.

I think the 5-vibration freakout is a side affect of using unrevoked to root. It must be the same thing as the bootloop...except without the loop and with the flashing led after shutdown.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
as far as i know (and i am no expert) the five vib and green flash is a total rom failiure. the phone has no idea what is happening to it, and somehow crashes. the system then referes itself to the boot.img in the firmware, which tells it not to boot back up bcuz something is wrong. it gives you this signal (five vib) to tell you this. the best temporary solution is a battery pull, wait five minutes to let the dalvic-cache kind of die, and reboot. i hope this helps. i am taking all this info from logic and computer working knowledge, not from actual facts. plz correct me if i'm wrong.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
as a sidenote, i have now gone 24 hours without rebooting with light overall use but heavy texting (sorry, teenager)

so again, anybody have any stable rom recommendations?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horiveira:
Hmm...I was going to suggest Fresh, but if the 5 vibration thing really is a rom faliure then I guess don't use that one :-|

before all of this I used Cyanogen and loved it. I totally prefer AOSP over Sense.

So you haven't had any problems? What do you think fixed it? If you unrooted then rerooted, what method did you use?

Anybody else having problems or success?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
This might be a long shot, but it seems using Unrevoked is a theme here. I would use Unrevoked, install the original stock Rom and unroot (if it's possible), and then root using one of the original methods.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweeqit2:
Unfortunately I never used unrevoked until now to try and fix my issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horiveira:

I just tried installing another ROM [Ava] to test dkdude36's theory about a rom issue and the 5 vibrations thing and I get the same results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
Wow, that's kinda scary.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweeqit2:
Attempted to unroot using those steps, but it wont load that PC36IMG for some reason..it checks it and stuff but never gives the option to install it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horiveira:
It kinda sucks that we've yet to get a fix. I'm willing to pay for a fix from a dev. I ****ed up and didn't get insurance so I can't go that route. Would it be possible to unroot and have it checked out and add insurance at the Sprint store?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
once agian, my theory is just that: a theory. it has no fact whatsoever. i think i might have even proved my self wrong. my phone has been working fine lately, and all the sudden, power off, 5 vib. i try to reboot with a battery pull, same thing. i wait a few hours, until it is nice and cold at night, and it boots up just fine. i think i might be way off with the theory. anybody have any other theories? btw, that means fresh is probably still safe. i believe i am un-bricked, so i am feeling confident enough to try out a rom. i think i will go with... fresh

Same problem here as well but one thing I have noticed is that it is with non stock kernels. I am running Myn's Rls 2 and if I flash a custom kernel I get the reboot, but with the stock one my phone does fine. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scev5:
Definitly heat related. I took the battery out and let it sit for a while next to AC. When i tried booting again it worked. I reflashed stock myn and it hasnt given me trouble so far today.

I was doing a lot of tethering, and maybe that combined with a non stock kernal was overheating whatever hardware it is that connects to the web. That might be why i was getting a crash as soon as the phone booted and started looking for network.

Going to cross my fingers and hope if i dont mess with kernals and roms ill be able to stay stable.
