Well flashing this New OTA you have to replace the stock recovery with Amon Ra so you wont loose root you always have to do this making a PC36IMG or Flashing a OTA Release so you dont loose root, that and the HBOOT if your still on the hboot_0.76.2000.img
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:

What about hardware version 0004? That is what I have when I checked in about phone hardware.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lessthantito:
Yes I would also like to know I just got my EVO today and it's HW: 0004 SW:3.30.651.2 has anyone had any issues rooting this version and does anyone know if it's possible to get s-off with this HW version I haven't seen much about HW:0004
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
It should be noted that straight from HTC, all of the 3.30.x builds are for Hardware version 004 Evo's only. All version 001-003 Evo's should run ROMs based on the 3.29.651.5 code-base. They are the same except for the support for a hardware change or two in the 004 Evo's.

I hope that this helps someone.

I have a 003, and it sucks because I understand that the cancorder functionality on the 004's is much better (one f the hardware changes).

hey guys I'm having a problem with my phone and the geo location feature. whenever i have GPS on and i take a picture then go to upload it to picasa it does not show me where the picture was taken.

is it a problem with CM6.1? or my phone or what? please reply thanks.

[EVO 4G General] dkelle4:
Open Camera app>third setting button down from the top (looks like the gps icon)> make sure store location is set to on
[EVO 4G General] draconx:
yeah man i have that set to "on" but it still doesnt work :(.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Open the picture up in Photoshop and check the raw file details. If it was geotagged, it'll show it.

thats the thing. it wont show anything about location. my iphone i had worked perfectly fine and i didnt even know i had that feature on it.
[Epic 4G General] coryshad:
Ok so I just have a quick qustion and I have searched but can't find an answer. I think my 4g radio may be broken because when I try and turn it on it sits for a minute then says unknown and turns back off. The coverage map shows me having 4g in my area but it could be wrong. It seems to me that I should be able to turn on the 4g radio and it will be on and regardless of signal and will keep searching for a signal but I've never actually had a working 4g connection so I don't know if this is regular behavior or if my 4g is defective and I need to get a replacement.
[Epic 4G General] shortyboy:
try reflashing to a stock rom,either dg27 or di18...i had this issue with my first epic,then di18 was updated on my phone and my 4g didnt work,quite a few of us had this problem.i just returned mine in and showed sprint that it was a hardware/software defect on their side.hope this helps
[Epic 4G General] coryshad:
Just wanted to update incase anyone else has this problem. I tried flashing back to complete stock di18 but still no 4g so I took it in to sprint where they just did a data reset and then sat there scratching there heads when it still didn't work, they were absolutely no help and at the end they pretty much told me I could buy a new phone or live with it. So took it back to radio shack where I bought the phone and the replaced it no problem. Now my 4g radio works great and I even have coverage in my erea B-)

Thank you for your advise
[HD2 General] Normant23:
I've noticed that when I play either of the Transformers movies that the audio and the video are out of sync. I tried viewing some other mp4s as well and they have the same problem. Does anyone have this problem as well? Has anyone found a way to fix this? I just recently upgraded to a class 6 microSD card too, so I don't think that there are any problems with my microSD card. Thanks alot for any feedback.
[HD2 General] hiway1999:
Just got mine in the mail and I noticed this also. It is very slight mismatch but I noticed it on the Transformer movies.

I don't know if it's an audio issue or what. If I find something I'll repost. Figured you would at least want to know if others see it too.
[HD2 General] Normant23:
It is good to know it's not just me, thank you for that. I've tried viewing the movies through android and have noticed less of a discrepency in the audio-video sync, could it just be a windows mobile thing?
[Nexus One General] junkiee:
Hi guys, i have recently started using gtalk to make calls on the pc. Of course there's no option to initiate calls naively in Android, so I was wondering if there was an app that could basically turn the n1 into a headset wiry a dial pad, so while connected via Bluetooth or WiFi, a call could be dialed on the n1 and gtalk on the pc connects the call, thus turning thephone into a glorified headset?

Any ideas?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
How about waiting for Gingerbread with Gtalk voice and video built in (hopefully)? :)
[Nexus One General] junkiee:
That would be nice, but incase that's not a feature...
[Nexus One General] adamhlj:
I think google should just come out with their own cell phone company already. Just call it G-Talk or something. That would be way rad.
[Nexus One General] worker1:
edit: o nvrmind i was confused.
[Nexus One General] jmattp:
I've been thinking the same thing since gmail calling came out: they should put out something in the vein of Peek, but with WiFi and 3G calling in addition to Google Voice SMS. A pure Google Voice/Google Talk device. It would (should) be an affordable device (like, <$50 with a data contract, maybe around $100-$200 without) with unlimited mobile data and WiFi capabilities.
[Nexus One General] iconexus:
I use "fring" for gtalk voip calls.

Works great!
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
So I was asking to myself.... how hard could have been? I also thought... is common sense the the phone needed some kind of mechanism to lock the phone when closed and opened, right?

Well, then after thinking I came to a conclusion that well we, users could get creative and do something about it, so I went into a quest looking for the smallest and thinness magnet I could find and I came across magnets that are only 1/32" thick.... now... I thought if I could find a way to cleanly attach them to the phone in places that I already have thought of ( will show tomorrow when I get to my computer ) and would be the least visible.

What do you guys think? Any ideas about attaching the magnets?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
Juan I have been looking for magnets, and finding the ideal location....there was a thread a while back regarding tape on the inside between the ribbon and the "z" leg.....I like this idea, but my concern is over GPS use. I'm sure one ca calibrate the bearings, but not sure how it would affect GPS signal....

Please post pics and experiences...really interested in doing this myself, as TMO will no stand by the defective hinge...sorry "design feature"!
[G2 and Desire Z General] kgold708:
I posted a pretty detailed post in the accessories forum. You might want to look at the "hinge fix" thread over there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jcX4ever:
Magnets might interfere with the compass
[G2 and Desire Z General] davbran:
Look into how the magnets might effect your signal a well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
That's why I'm going to buy the magnets and do tests and see how much will interfere with the phone. So if anyone of you guys is interested, I will keep y'all posted.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ratchetrizzo:
I could swear I saw what looked like magnets on the display g2's at the tmobile stores I went to this week. They all looked like they had a small strip of magnets on each side by the hinge (on the under side of the screen and the body).

Maybe it was just a display model thing, but the phones were active demos.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hansalvato:
this is exactly what i was thinking about doing but there seems to be to many problems with compass gps and possibly mememory loss if only there was a way to magetize the ones already in there
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
I personally think I see an easier way.

I'm going to try to attach a tiny piece of felt to the side of the Z hinge so it wedges a little more securely inside the recessed area on the top of the screen.

Open your keyboard, and you'll see where the hinge arms sit inside the recessed areas with small 1mm or so gaps on either side.

I think it'll work...

[G2 and Desire Z General] carlsbad0331:
I just picked up a package of (2) 5x8 inch magnetic sheets (self adhesive). The cost was under $2.

It is super thin (looking for my digital calipers, but I would guess 1/32 or thinner. Im going to give this a try and post some pics if it works well. If it works, this should be enough magnetic sheet to fix every G2 produced by HTC this year.

Well, I have found no ill effects of the magnetic material and it WORKS... I can now hold the phone upside down, sideways, backwards, etc. Of course if you shake it, it will open. But it will not open or close during natural use.

Took about 2 minutes to do, cost under $2 and I could do another 100 phones with the material I have.

Here are the pics:
[G2 and Desire Z General] aedv:
How the F do magnets work, anyway?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sundar2012:
im worried about putting magnets near a hard drive or radio.

What about rubber bands of some sort, such that when screen is fully out they lock, but otherwise snap back?
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
exellent! exellent!!!! just what i had in mind! that was exactly my plan, now, here, the same can be applied here ( i dont see on the pics but did you applied for when the phone is open or closed? or both? if is only when the phone is closed, well look at my picture, is paint quality LOL but i think it can be understood, with the magnets aldeady on the back of the screen, a couple of other magnets can be placed on the red area of the picture, thats a perfect area because there's an indentation there, and a little piece there would not affect the keyboard at all.

pd: info on where you got that material would be awesome, thanks!

pd2: i will do my own too and try different things and test the phone for at least a couple of weeks and see whats happens, also i will let you guys know the end results, i have insurance on my phone so if something happens i can get a new one on the way :D

pd3: i read for the phone to be affected by magnetic fields, it has to be a really powerful magnet, just look at other phones with magnets in the market... they seem perfectly fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] carlsbad0331:
I only did this for when the phone is open. Ive never had the phone open from the closed position.

I picked up the package of magnetic sheet at Target. It was in the craft section in a purple plastic envelope. It is made by Horizon Group USA and the SKU number is 765940168059.
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
going there right now!
[G2 and Desire Z General] eniac325ix:
Just an FYI, all 3 of my old Sidekicks had magnets so they won't interfere with cell or GPS signal. I am unsure about the compass however. I was considering a similar idea as well only with a couple tiny round silver magnets on the bottom section tops corners and screen section middle sides.
[G2 and Desire Z General] s30zgt:
Sorry for this off topic but, why is your phone so shiny? like a polished metalic grey. Looks actually very nice. Polished? full skin?
[G2 and Desire Z General] SlicedKuniva:
Most likely took picture using a flash so we could see the magnets
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
And like always my local target doesn't have any gonna try Walmart.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
I think you guys each have half my idea....but I have not been able to find thin magnets....thanks for the info!!!

What I had in mind was to put mag tape on the kb edge as you showed on your masterpeice doodle, and another on the edges of the hing area similar to the first set of pics (sorry dude forgot your name ;-) ) and on the back of the screen a piece of wide mag tape so that when closed, it latches on the kb mags, and when open to the back top.

Awesome posts and find!!!! Wiill do it tomorrow and post pics!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] carlsbad0331:
Actually, I have the Ghost Armor full wrap on the phone. So it has more of a gloss finish. No flash was used in those pics.

If you cant find it, here is a place selling it for $1.95 per sheet. It IS listed as 1/32 thick.

http://www.craftsuppliesforless.com/craftsupplies_accessories.html

Or just send me a PM with an address and I will send you one of the sheets that I have. Like I said, we could do ALL of our G2's with one sheet!

I went ahead and cut the two pieces for the keyboard area. I used a piece of masking tape and a pencil to create the pattern and then transfered it to the magnetic sheet. It works using the existing magnetic piece on the back of the screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
sweet! and it does not look bad at all! and i went trough walmart, target, office depot, krogers and nothing, can we work something up so you can send me one of the sheets? im going to pm you.

pd: how strong is it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
Nice, I'm going to Target tomorrow mourning and picking up a pack of these. Could use some around the house as well. If you don't mind, can you give us measurements on how much to cut and how thin to cut? And also maybe a video of how and where you placed the sheets?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] carlsbad0331:
This is how I made the template...

I will do it again tomorrow with an exacto knife and it will look much better. This was just quick to see if it worked.

Bought mine just havent had a chance to put it on yet lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] Troggie81:
I've been thinking about doing this since before I even got my G2. I found some rare-earth, hobby magnets online that are 1/16" dia x 1/32" thick. the strength of those magnets would give it a nice snap open/shut feel, I think.

The problem with those, of course, being that they may be strong enough to cause problems and they aren't self-adhesive. I'm not too keen on permanently gluing them on.

Looks like I'm going to have to run to Target tomorrow and look for these sheets instead.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c_licious:
I gotta give it to you guys, very creative. Does it interfere with the GPS at all? Honestly though it would piss me off a little to spend that much on a phone just to have to get my arts and crafts kit out to fix it. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
**** happens doesn't? lol

look i've been doing research myself and the phone shouldn't be affected at all by it, the magnets are not strong enough to interfere with anything, storage ( it does not have a hard drive LOL ) , phone signal and such, the magnet solution presented by carlsbad0331 is not strong enough to interfere with anything, nothing at all, still i think is necessary to test this for a period of at least a week or 2 and test everything that could interfere with the magnets.

still some really easy research was done and i can say now, magnets of this magnitude will have zero implications.

and yes it kinda pisses me off but i can deal with it, the phone is really nice and a little mod like this is well worth it :) just to make this phone closer to be a 9/10 phone lol!
[G2 and Desire Z General] goorpy:
Very nice. Do those magnets give it enough of a boos tot hold itself shut now?

I was thinking about doing something similar, but sandwiching it in between the Z hinges. That tiny open/close microswitch though is the trouble, of course.

Do you have another pair of magnets somewhere to hold the phone in the open position?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
Dude on my way to target....If I can't find it I will PM you. Question....how well does it shut? does it snap? Any accidental open./close?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
Be careful guys I got a sheet of some magnets and they are not powerful at all.. just and fyi I guess it needs to be a different kind of magnets. I will show you guys the magnets I found online that should be more powerful. Though they can't be reshaped
[G2 and Desire Z General] Careless_:
putting magnets on a phone so that it closes and opens properly is just about as natural as putting a phone bumper on a flagship phone so that I can avoid dropping calls.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Troggie81:
Well, I tried some thin magnets meant for the back of business cards. They were just a hair thicker than the magnet tape. Definitely not strong enough. Not worth the extra gap that they made.

Those tiny rare earth magnets I mentioned in my previous post would probably work really well, but they aren't self adhesive and gluing them to my phone to try out doesn't seen like a good idea.
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
there's this 3m adhesive that does not leave residue and is pretty stronf
[G2 and Desire Z General] Becksman:
Any links to such a tape?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
While I haven't tried it myself, I imagine it's not going to affect the GPS at all (since that uses radio signals), but it's going to mess up the in-built magnetic compass.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Durkbeef:
Anyone feel like making a video of putting them on? also a direct link to somewhere where I can buy tape that has been proven to work would be nice
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
Any updates to this most interesting thread? I'm interested in giving this a shot to my G2 since my hinges (just over one week old) are starting to get loose. Do the magnets help hold the phone closed better?
[G2 and Desire Z General] LGS1231:
Wow, never saw this thread before. Interesting stuff we have going on here! I might even go to Target and see if I can find it. Are there any other positions we can put the magnets at that wouldnt be seen? I think if it's seen, it sorta ruins the aesthetic value of the phone.

Anyone out there had any issues with the internal compass?

The magnets I installed on mine work as well today as when I put them on. I have had ZERO issues with the compass, navigation, GPS, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
Wouldn't it be easier to just put a rubber band around the thing?
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
The rubber band would just just tear after a while.

Now, for like the 56778^10 the magnets are not strong enough to mess with anything, If I had a camera available I would do a demonstration of the gps and compas working perfectly.

And sadly for the closed position of the phone the magnets on the side of the keyboard is the only solution, there's no other place.
[G2 and Desire Z General] el_smurfo:
FYI to everyone wondering if magnets might effect your compass. Just open the phone half way and lightly hold a paperclip in the gap...you will see that the phone already has magnets built in to keep it closed, they're just too weak to actually work properly.

[G2 and Desire Z General] adavis159:
A note for those with "too-weak" magnetic strips:

most sheet magnets have the magnetic poles arranged in stripes (vertical stripes of North and South) if you slap 2 sheets together back to back and then slide them apart, you will notice that they skip.

http://www.guysmagnets.com/view-product/pole-sensor-foil

So, if you use a magnet strip on both halves of the phone, and one strip has the lines 90 degrees rotated, they won't stick to each other, or if they ARE aligned but with the N stripes of one touching N stripes of the other, they will actually repel instead of attract.

basically, getting a sheet magnet to stick to another sheet magnet can be tricky

also, for those worried about magnets messing with the phone: the official moto droid car dock contains a magnet to tell the phone to switch to car mode (the official home dock does the same thing)

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-accessories/39216-magnet-locations-custom-car-mount.html
[G2 and Desire Z General] ad505:
