Well I'm on my 4th Evo. 2 usb ports broken (be gentle with this, dont move the phone around much wile plugged in) 1 volume rocker not responding. I still like the EVO, not any more than i liked my nexus though. I will be selling this and getting the Nexus S when it is released. T-mobile is the best carrier in my area as far as speed goes, the only 4g carrier. Recent upgrade path-Iphone 2g, iphone 3g, iphone 3gs, nexus 1, Evo x4. The nexus s probably will not have dual core, but it is still being talked about, nobody knows yet.. Surprise is google!
[EVO 4G Accessories] nugzo:
Yeah the acer caught eye too. But did you see the pic with the phone up to his ear? wow! that really lets you know how big it is. Too big i think for me. Every time i hold my old nexus 1 (girlfriend has it) i ask myself why i went with the Evo. The nexus 1 is the perfect size for a phone. Feels great in the hand, even better in the pocket. I personally cant see myself going acer big as a 24/7 phone. Maybe a 7" tablet if i'm in the market for a bigger screen than my phone has. With the Evo i can not reach the entire screen with my thumb without re-adjusting my grip (while holding 1 hand, phone grip) With anything any bigger i would have to use both hands to access the entire screen. That is a turn off and would be extremely inconvenient for a 24-7 phone.. Could you imagine having to use both hands every time you used your phone? Keep em Evo size or a little smaller..Phones are not a bigger is better item imo :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] talktothehandroid:
I keep a back up EVO :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] xlGmanlx:
i will probably pay cash to upgrade without updating plan, however i will probably take a look around and see what type of development support it will get. to me, the aftermarket for the evo makes it one of the best android phones

that just means they could make a 4" screen and be pretty well set! I don't mind the size but i know what you mean about not perfect for one hand. I held my friends iphone 4 in my hand and it felt like a midget phone
[EVO 4G Accessories] DAFTEK:
I fired AT&T, paid them $240 in termination fees and geting 1 EVO +2 Optimus

I just did the same thing, i could not bare AT&T any longer after eliminating the $30 unlimited data and paying them $200 a month for something i now get for $150 with all unlimited. No 3G in my area for 100 miles yet i paid them for 6 years for service and kept my phones longer then most people. Sprint just paid me $100 per line to port my numbers 25% corporate discount and got the EVO for $199 free activation and two LG OptimusS for my wife and daughter for FREE :) I cant wait to get my new EVO Monday. Anyone want a iPhone3g? :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] dcfella:
I'll probably stick with my Evo until an Evo2 comes out. I usually like to upgrade phones annually, but I can definitely see myself holding on to this one up to 2 years since it does everything I need so well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheBiles:
I'm already eligible for an upgrade, and I like to always have the best phone offered by Sprint so I will most likely trade in my slightly dinged EVO for a new/refurb one (due to light leakage) then sell that mofo on eBay so I can make a profit when I upgrade through Sprint.
[EVO 4G Accessories] roscoenr:
I will be with my evo for a long time
[EVO 4G Accessories] xlGmanlx:
To me this is the ps2 of phones right now. Got some limitations and there might be better hardware but the software is untouchable in my opinion. If only we could go to the evo2 as the ps3 60GB version from launch haha

[EVO 4G Accessories] Genjinaro:
Same here, besides since we get yearly update on these phones, I'd rather take advantage of it.

The Hero didn't even last a year, once I saw the EVO, I knew I had to have it.

There isn't any upcoming phone that appeals to me...yet. I don't really care about more power, CPU or GPU.

I'd like my EVO successor to feature:

A Kickstand (Best thing ever put onto a phone EVER)

WiMax

NFC

SVDO

More built-in memory

Carl Ziess lens

8MP+ Xenon Flash camera

2MP front Camera (Yes I actually use this thing for Qik often)

Motorola Defy like, build quality

Physical Camera button

More efficient CPU/GPU

Not gonna happen but I can dream.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Ddt928:
If something comes out within the next 20 months that blows me away I will consider it. I just don't see that happening anytime soon.
[EVO 4G Accessories] halorin:
I've never been happier with a phone as I have been with the Evo. I plan on keeping it for a while. I'd love a dual core, dedicated gpu version of the Evo, but it would be overkill.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
Don't shoot me but I was in the AT&T store the other day and was playing with their new Samsung Windows 7 phone. I hate to admit it but that OS is cool as sh*t. And is was FAST.

I wouldn't mind at all if someone eventually figured a way to port W7 onto an EVO :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Joeb2000:
@ mitchellvii

Blasphemy (just kidding)

I would love to have a dual core, desicated graphic processor version of the evo.

But has to have my kickstand and has to keep the screen size.

While the epic has better graphics, while playing with my wifes it really bothered me about the smaller screen. It is not much smaller but it is noticable.

But then again I also like watching movies on my evo when I can, so the screen and kickstand are must haves.
[EVO 4G Accessories] twoslo:
I'll probably hang onto the my Evo until my contract expires, unless something worth upgrading early for grabs my attention next year. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Accessories] ekokinex:
I paid full price $600 for this phone so ill be sticking with it for at least two years. I figure by then the dual core phone will be somewhat standard and it'll be prime time to upgrade.

I purchased the Evo out of pocket and did not use my upgrade. I am a tech geek when it comes to phones.. and as of 12/01/10 I am eligible for my upgrade.. so when the new one hits.. I am there.. keep the Evo for backup.
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
I just got the EVO two weeks ago. I love it. It is by far the best phone I have ever owned. I will keep it until I am eligible for an upgrade and by then the technology on phones will probably be unbelievable. I know I will be tempted as the technology gets better and people start getting better and better phones, but I am going to try to hold out until I can get and upgrade at the discounted price.
[EVO 4G Accessories] davebu:
I'm interested in testing out WP7, so the Touch Pro7 may be my next, as might the EVO Shift/Knight. Hey, maybe there will be a real WebOS phone for Sprint next year too. Paid full for my evo, so my upgrade is ready to be used, just waiting on them to have something worth buying.

Remember, its not cheating if they're related, just makes family gatherings a little awkward. WebOS is a good mistress to a full time HTC though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aduljr:
waiting for the 1 year upgrade itch which is hitting 6 months into it. :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanmanc:
I'm eligible for my upgrade in June so I'll see what's available then. If it's worth switching to something else I won't hesitate going with the latest and greates.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
My guess is that someone will have ported W7 over to the EVO within 6 months. Rumor has it webOS has already been ported to the Hero.

Im pretty committed, however I may just bite the bullet if the Nexus S turns out to be good. Love the evo however have some issues with sprints network.
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnson8c:
use the technowku trick in the evo 4g development forum.

You can switch and use verizon signal and data signal too!
[EVO 4G Accessories] ron87:
im sticking to the Evo until something better than it comes to Sprint.
[EVO 4G Accessories] notasimpleway:
I've been eligible for an upgrade since last month. So, I'll see if anything comes up that is really an "upgrade". Because lately all the new phones aren't. *cough* Nexus S *cough*
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheBiles:
Turns out I'm not loyal at all! Just found out my Sprint contract is expiring in a week, so I'm jumping to the Nexus S.

[EVO 4G Accessories] info[]box1:
I think I'm committed to my evo. Fact is its the most all around reliable phone I've used. My heart is still on an cdma window 7 device. Especially if the unlocker is similar to tp2 unlocker. The only displeasing experience I'd with android is not being able to root. Due to not having the time to digg into it. Always keeping my eyes opening for a dual core cdma device. I will buy one for 350-400 dollars right after the first 30 days of release.
[EVO 4G Accessories] edlex:
I'm committed until July 2012. I truly love this phone plus I've invested around $300 in assorted cases, a screen protector and extra battery so switching soon is not in my near future. Truth is with the occasional buying of new apps and just getting 4g in Miami, it's like a new phone!
[EVO 4G Accessories] david279:
Im under contract till 2012 but almost bought a G2 today. 79.99 for a phone like that is hard to pass.
[EVO 4G Accessories] notasimpleway:
I am glad I didn't run into this deal. I would have bought it. Then regret it. T-Mobile doesn't even have 3G in my city or anywhere for 50 miles. How is that even possible still? My sister bought the My Touch 3g Slide awhile back... I played with it and wondered why it didn't have a 3g icon. I actually called them to see why... that is how I found out about the large 3g deadzone called Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. So, as much as I want I can't buy anything T-Mobile. It is kinda annoying that I can only wait for Sprint to get something worthy of an upgrade eventually. Verizon is too expensive. T-Mobile does have service here(great plans and phones) . AT&T is a joke. However, Sprint is just fine, but their Android line-up is slim although a lot bigger now compared to when I got the Hero(only this or the Moment). And no word or anything of anything better than the Evo coming any time soon. Not that I even want to upgrade, but I could if I wanted. ;P I guess I will wait for these dual processors phones and hope Sprint gets one made by HTC. And let's be honest, the new Google phone isn't an upgrade compared to the Evo. I guess barely, but barely only counts in the game horse shoes and with hand grenades.

I've had nothing but good from Sprint so I'm staying with them for a while. I've been able to upgrade since last month so I'm just waiting for something new and better to be released.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Cephiros:
I have no issues with Sprint coverage wise. I also have my 20% discount from my employer. In addition I'm a Sprint Premier customer so I get yearly upgrades. Since I just got my Evo a few days ago. I can wait until December 2011 for my next phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] cmart4:
3g coverage kinda sucks at my house, but 4g is good. go figure (North Dallas). Sprint has the best $ plan for us, we will be picking up 2 Evo shifts when they become available in Jan.

got's to love HTC and XDA!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] fastfed:
Until there is some new program or something that my evo can't do and these other new super phones can and mine can't..which probably won't happen...android devs aren't going to make programs where only a few phones will run them...i don't see a point to upgrading at all...
[EVO 4G Accessories] aph:
In my experience the latest and greatest ($600 retail phone) off contract seems to run about $250 on craigslist and $350 on eBay, no matter what it is.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wrxlvr:
As soon as I can upgrade, I probably will. I've not been impressed with the build quality of my Evo (this is my second or third one now). I have light bleeding out from under my buttons (screen lifting issue), and the back of the phone doesn't fit properly. My wife's Evo is much better (different hardware revision, and my screen is nicer), but I'm not sure my next phone will be from HTC since I really like the weight, performance, and screen of the Samsung Galaxy phones...

I'm really waiting for a higher resolution screen on an Android phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] rstuckmaier:
I love it, but I will be getting a new phone come July. I am lucky enough to be a Sprint Premier member so I can get a new one every year. I will probably be keeping the Evo though, assuming we actually have full HDMI out working. I will still be able to get apps through wifi and will be able to play Nintendo games, etc. through my tv.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Samzebian:
I've had this phone for about 7 months now (got it on release date) and I'm sticking with it for now. I've never been a carrier-loyal person, I'll switch and jump ship to whoever has the best and newest phone coming out, even if it means paying full ETF fees. I will not pay full retail for a phone though, which usually still costs more than paying the 2 year contract price + etf (until the etf was raised on verizon and AT&T:mad:)

I somehow became a Sprint premiere member (usually takes a year of perfect payments), so now I can upgrade on July 4th, I'll probably get whatever the next big Android phone is. Right now, there doesn't seem to be anything that great out compared to this phone, I love the screen, the resolution is good (kinda small for the size tho) just gotta wait for something cool to arrive.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jimdog420:
Being a premier sprint member as well i cant wait to see the Evo's prodigy child.

I have fallen in love with htc though, they have made a good product In my eyes and im sure/hopeful I'll be getting one on launch day like i did the

Long press on an empty area of the screen and choose widgets.

that should let you select them.

They are part of touchwiz which you turned off. If someone was/is able to extract them from touchwiz that would be cool. But its all part of touchwiz launcher. Like htc sense. If anyone has pulled some of those I would like to have a few.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:
Hey there guys,

I have been one of the users sittin here in the background hacking away at this phone, so thought i would report back on what it is I have found

After applying the Jit Optimiser v2, once you have finally applied the 2.1 X10a, and it has run through, and reboots, you have now got an X10i

So naturally, for us telstra next G users, Ive been working on something here, to enable us to still keep the X10a as it is

Plus I am looking at other tweaks, and currently wrestling with a few system files, so I will be happy to share it once i have finally finished it, which should be in the next few days

I will mention, this script has the Jit v2 optimizer in it and a few of my parts in it (files I've modified), so credit to the devs/ppl who made their respective section of this script possible

Progress: Build.prop changes = DONE

Init.rc changes = IN PROGRESS

My background has been for the past 5yrs or so, in linux/bsd debugging/optimization, so fooling around with android is a natural process for me :)

Just leave a note in this thread if you would like to help me fine tune this script, and are a Telstra Next G User. I can modify it for other users, but i will need to find the forums post which has all the country codes in it

Peace Out

Never stay up too late, lol, I fell asleep when i got back from my appt

Anyways man, currently waiting for the files to finish uploading
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:
Anyways, here goes with the file, finally waited for it to upload

This has the build.prop changes included, I'm still working away at the init.rc changes currently, that might be a few more days

http://www.mediafire.com/?qt89vw7quoor6sl

Let me know how it goes for you man once you try it

STEPS REQUIRED:

1) 2.1 X10A Firmware must be loaded http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6514692&postcount=2

2) Root Access must be obtained http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833954

3) ADB must be on your pc, either full install or files http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010

4) Best have it, just for safe measure, Java: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/downlo...BundleId=39494

Once you have all of that, go to Start -> Run -> type cmd and hit enter

Make sure you have your files in the same directory, copy over the adb files, enable usb debugging on your phone, and on windows, type adb devices, to make sure your phone is connected and adb recognises it, then hit adb shell, type su, and keep an eye on your phone for a Superuser prompt, allow it

That measure above is mainly for saving you in future with outher mods you will no doubt make to your phone

All thats left to do, is just double click on the file install, and let it run its business

You will find upon reboot, it no longer turns your 2.1 X10a into an X10i, which is the main gripe quite a few users had

If anyone else here with another provider would like me to add extra versions of it for their respective country, just add on this post with your country code and i'll do up some moire customised versions for you

Out of curiosity, what is OpenVPN used for?

Then i will know if i have to use your spot on tutorial :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Walker Street:
It's a VPN (virtual private network). I can access my home and work computers from my android.
[Desire HD Android Development] Walker Street:
I am super-impressed mero. But I wasn't able to get it to work .... I think it's my fault .... I've stuffed around so much. I'm right now starting a clean install.... It should work..... I hope.
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
thanks :) :)

I did alot of stuffing around aswell thats why i wanted to test it.

So i did a full wipe. then flash to 1.2 reboot. flash to 1.0.1.fix. and then first thing i did was follow those steps.

connection worked first go :)

please update me, as im sure i can help.
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Walker Street,

I attached a screen shot of the actual adb session i did just incase. the bottom 3 commands to my knowledge and what i can see dont work so i ommited them from the tut. but they might do somthign and not display it so thought i might upload incase.

:)
[Desire HD Android Development] Walker Street:
Silly me. I forgot to set 'Fix HTC Routes'. Now I've done that and your method rules.

You're a genius mero. It works. :D

I changed permissions for the new openvpn and iptables using root explorer so they could execute. Maybe you didn't need to because you were doing adb push from linux (I was doing it from windows).

I don't have a DNS server, so I didn't need to specify one.

I would highly recommend these changes to LeeDroid for his rom. Have you messaged him yet? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
+1 :p

Thank you very much :)

to be honest the only part i did in adb was the symlinks did everything else in root explorer.i didnt change any permissions :S

Yes i have PM'd him, awaiting a reply ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
just updated to Buzz 1.0.2 , everything still works :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Yes and tunnel all your internet traffic back through the VPN encrypted in many ways ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] raw235:
also works with buzz 1.0.8.

and after pushing the openvpn binary, you need to do chmod +x with it.
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
No worries thanksss, i shall update :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
anyone tried with 1.1.0 ?
[Desire HD Android Development] EFCAugure:
Hello,

i'm in trouble....

At first, i have an error when i try the adb remount command : Operation not permitted

Then i have a second message when i try to create the "bb" folder : mkdir failed for bb. Read-only file system.:confused:

I'm confused because tel is rooted, S-OFF and suped-CID. I even changed the Kernel with Buzz's one 1,2Ghz.

Did i miss something?

Thanks for your help

Lionel
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
hmm thats very strange... adb remount should work...

actually quite puzzled at that dunno why it wouldnt work if you do have root etc.

only other thing i can think of is have you got busybox installed ?

what state is your phone in when your trying to do this ? ie off. on, recovery mode.
[Desire HD Android Development] EFCAugure:
Hi,

thanks for reply!

I have a branded SFR phone in France but i managed to root it and S-OFF it without problem.

I switched to another Kernel with the tun.ko file and that's all.

When i tried adb remount, the phone was ON (no recovery or anything else).

I will try in recovery mode.

Busybox is installed.

Note : impossible to connect adb while in recovery.
[Desire HD Android Development] EFCAugure:
This seems to be the problem :

when switching kernel only, i don't change the property ro.secure because it's nested (of what i read) in the boot.img. I have a branded phone and this property is set to 1.

Is there a way to change this property without changing the whole ROM? I would llike to stay with this one.

Thanks for your advice

lionel
[Desire HD Android Development] EFCAugure:
Ok,

switched to Leedroid 1.2 and re-changed kernel to Buzz 1,22Ghz.

This tutorial is awesome!
