1) Other than the subsidized price none... of course you could count in the ability to jump ship if you dont like the service.

2) Well some have found the EVO for $99 on amazon with a contract (and possibly new line)...

3) Yes. A data plan is required for all smartphones, on top of that they will add the $10 4G EVO fee. Since you are not getting a contract they might give you a hard time about this.
[EVO 4G General] watermoore:
HAHA that was worded beautifully. Another shameless label would be. The 10 dollar a month "cool phone" fee
[EVO 4G General] pididente:
Sprint requires a new contract for any new line of service whether you have taken promotional pricing on a phone or not.
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
yeah exactly, not sure why the OP thinks that bringing an Evo he purchased 2nd hand is going to prevent him from being locked into a 2 year service agreement when opening a new account.
[EVO 4G General] P_Dub_S:
He's used to T-Mobile who has plans that don't require contracts.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Sprint does actually have a no contract, month to month plan, but I don't think the EVO can go on it.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G General] brownmc77:
I don't think the 2 year agreement is required. Though I could be wrong. But if he already got his phone, the only thing they could do is charge him the $10 cool fee. You got an evo so you have to be on a 2 year agreement? Gimmie a f-ing break. But any discounts you try to get will land you on a two year agreement.

Sent from my f-ing space ship.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
If you put this on sprints network, you have to have the data plan.
[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
If you are adding any new line with Sprint, you will be required to enter a 2 year contract regardless of getting any discounts on phones. Even if you are adding a line to an existing plan, you will be required to enter the contract.

What I would do if you really want to use the Evo is to sign up and take the best phone that they will give you for free. You can hold onto it for 30 days and sell it if you decide to stay with Sprint. Or just keep it as a backup phone. But look around, sometimes amazon or best buy will give out very nice deals on some good phones.

Or forget Sprint all together and try to activate the Evo on another carrier.

I love all these "What doesn't work..." ROMS. LOVE IT! Thanks DEVS/ROM DEVS
[EVO 4G General] creyc:
So don't use them?
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Oh i don't. Couldn't, they are not full roms, incomplete
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
Well they are just trying to bring that new experience to everyone else. One of the most popular roms for our phone doesnt have 4g or hdmi working, and the ported roms dont have those working + camera not working. It really aint that bad. If you can put up with Cyanogenmod, then you can put up with the other ports.

Cyanogenmod and the ports are all pretty much faster than the stock roms too, so there's a huge plus side right there.

First go read this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814274

Second when you develop YOUR Desire HD ROM let us know we are dieing for a full working version.

Sorry that the ROMs that are incomplete have put you out. Maybe you should flash stock everything works on it.

Also please try to refrain from post more brainless topics.
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
i have a full rom that actually works and for people that like partial roms, these "what doesn't work" things will do fine. I like functionality
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I don't know what your talking about the only ROMs that are incomplete are the HD Desire ROMs. ALL of the other ROMs should be complete. I know my ROM is or at least as far as I know it is. You are not everyone, some people don't use the camera and don't live in a 4G area (most of us). So the HD Desire ROMs appeal to them. Quite thinking about yourself for a moment.

Also those "incomplete" desire roms give people like me a chance to star developing new ROMs using it as a base. SO when the camera is fixed we will be ready to rock. I'm sure THAT would be fine with you.

The world is full of other people.. just letting you know.
[EVO 4G General] Bowhuntr11:
I am guessing the new ROM your using had everything from the beginning? Camera worked perfect, 4G worked perfect, HDMI worked perfect, no bugs what-so-ever? It doesn't have Sense does it...hopefully not...

Can I know the name of this Rom, if so? And I am guessing its made by you, because who would be stupid enough to bad mouth other people's work that they have done for FREE and because they enjoy it and want to share it with the rest of us.

I really think you should go elsewhere, and stay off XDA. As this site is about helping people, not bad mouthing what these people are doing for us because they want to.

Thanks.

[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Look at these so called roms. They have lists of important features that "aren't working". They keep adding useless apps and call it a new version. Pathetic
[EVO 4G General] wingzfan:
Ok so what do you suggest? Maybe the rom DEVELOPERS, key word devolpers, should hold out on these roms until its completely functional and not give anyone the chance to DEVELOP them and test for bugs and issues? Im sorry but did Apple release a fully working OS for Iphone? Or did Verizon release a fully working Droid rom, or Sprint a fully working EVO rom? Maybe had these companies release fully working products then XDA and custom roms wouldnt exist. The roms are created to give users a better product and make them work the way they should have out of the box. Cyanogen started a 2.2 rom for the hero that had items that didnt work at first but through testing releases and community feedback they got it completely working.

Id like a copy of YOUR completely working rom. Id like to run it for a week and prove theres not a single issue what so ever.

The developers clearly state that its an incomplete rom if theres items not working and clearly tell you what isnt working. They do this to give you the option to test with them or to stay away.

Your post, and Im sure you know this, is the exact reason developers have left here. Maybe you should create your own site, develop your own roms, and forget XDA. Had it not been for here my 3 previous phones and this one would be in the trash because of HTC and Sprints crap software that gave horrible battery life.

Thanks to Fresh's rom Im at 18h 21m and 40% battery left. On Sprints crap I was dead 8 hours. Ill gladly take a developmental rom to get that kind of battery, especially since I havent found anything not working.
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Oh get off their nuts. Its been months. You test fully functioning software with bugs and glitches....NOT part of an OS and call it testing. The functions AREN'T there to test
[EVO 4G General] wingzfan:
Actually slick, you test the working parts of the rom while developers complete the parts that arent working and release update when their fixed. Have you never been part of a beta community or testing in general? Game developers (Infinity Ward for example) do this before every release. Call of Duty is a prime example. They release partially finished products then finish the remaining aspects.

So how about your rom? It sounds like its the best one ever made.
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Actually ****, there is nothing to test. Its "what doesn't work" action. Say your only about partial. Typical simp
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Get back to work kiesha
[EVO 4G General] wingzfan:
Ok, your right and I apologize for questioning your abilities as a developer and thinking you actually were as impaired as your posts make you seem. I guess its time to go back to Sprints stock rom and deal with the inability to put out a quality product that doesnt need further developing.

I look forward to the masterpiece youve created and hopefully soon it will be released to show the world what a dominating force you are in the development world.

And no, there is absolutely no sarcasm in this post at all, you really are my hero...

Let me guess your response: "What have YOU contributed?" Well ive contributed nothing but a couple of posts here and there. I do develop my own roms and kernels, but they are based off other peoples work so i dont post them. I love the incomplete roms... They give me something to do when im bored.

You should just leave this site because no one can appreciate a person who doesnt appreciate anyone or anything.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scuk:
I really hope someone can help me. I have an Incredible running hboot 0.92 and radio 2.15.00.09.01. I have tried this with 10+ different CM6 nightlies as well as CM6.0.2. I have formatted my SD Card 2 times and even tried 2 different cards. No matter what method I try to do, my apps always hang on installing. I have deleted .android_secure 15 times, many different ways. When I go into all applications and click Market, it says calculating forever. So it will not let me clear cache. I can only clear data and force stop, which I've tried. I am desperate to get this fixed as my phone is nearly useless without it.

Google the basics . Most people don't have time to explain everything to you. There is a lot to learn, and I would advise you to not mod your phone unless its something you like to do. Your home work too google.

What is : nand recovery, back up, restore

What is: flashing

What is: recovery

What is: sd card, what is stored on it

What is a : rom

What is a :kernel

How do I flash them?

Learn what a ".apk" file is

What two recoveries do you have to choose from?

What is root? And its history (where it came from)

What is "su command"

What is "s" off and "s" on

Like I said, if you don't like too do this stuff and aren't a geek like the rest of us then I wouldn't bother, it takes a lot of reading and learning, one thing we all have in common is we are all still learning.

Honestly, I would love to help, but you are asking too much. It takes weeks, months, even years to get fully acquainted with android and hacking it, especially if this is your first smartphone. If I were you, I would enjoy being stock for now. Once you figure out how to use either terminal or command prompt (Mac or pc, in that order) then maybe start making gradual changes. If you need ANY actual help, pm me as you would not be the first noob i helped. I consider it my duty (ha). Take developments from the experts, give info to the noobs. Really, get familiar with everything, look up some stuff, watch some videos, and if you still need any help, shoot me or another one of the experienced and helpful devs at the xda a pm (private message. Click their name and it will give you the option.) and you will be helped, I garuntee it.

Please help...

PS: Oh before I forget I have occasionally unstable data connectivity, is this due to using the stock radio? I looked and everywhere it either recommend's to use this radio or that radio or states that the stock works but to be honest I'm not Entirely sure what it pertains to???

My voice microphone stopped working, as in people could not hear me speak. But only in handset mode. Speakerphone and headphones worked fine. I tried making sure I didn't have mute selected. Then I tried uninstalling apps, but ultimately the only fix was a reformat. Keep in mind, you will lose everything including all contacts and apps that you haven't backed up. I think it kept my photos and videos. You can reformat by going into Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset.

[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I believe the 'stable' rom you're referring to has broken GPS still.

Also, I think the op thought that the recent update was an official stock 2.2...

Anyway, the quadrant score is around 819 stock but with different mods, a good stable score is around 1600
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
I think what the OP wanted was a 2.2 vibrant score w/ JIT enabled... eugenes ROM has it.

Stable means usable & will not die or cause nuclear war. Perfect ROM? No... Only working 2.2 ROM working (minus GPS & a few other things not working) on the vibrant, yes.

exactly what does stability & usability have to with a mathematical bench mark test? are you referring to hacks & mods vs. hard code? Stability wise? # wise??
