[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moschdog:
I have this issue as well (rooted and unrooted). I was reading the google developer blog and many were complaining how this can screw up their payment, or processing of purchased apps. Not sure, but sounded like this was fairly widespread...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnyjr:
You are having the same problems I have. Force close on downloading of updates is very frustrating to say the least.

I am also stock and not rooted.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biggizzel:
I have IG 1.1.1 flashed but my problem is it starts the download then freezes. The whole market goes down. If I reset the phone, when its done rebooting it doesn't reload all off my apps that were already saved to the sd card. Any ideas what is wrong or any way to get the lost apps back? I also have titanium but it only reloads them sometimes.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
Thought I was alone with this! My market will also FC once I start to update an app, then multiple apps will update that I have flagged for auto-update. It seems my market gets overwhelmed by more than 1 app update running at a time. I just hit FC then re-open it and everything is fine again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjs81:
Market 2.2.6 seems a lot more stable for me. I will randomly get download failed messages from it, but it no longer seems to hang or FC anymore.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] idumych:
So I noticed that some theme makers include an xml file that you can set to change the android theme colors. However, I can't figure out how the heck to use them! I have an xml that I downloaded from the homepage of the guy who originally modded Spare Parts to do this on the root of my SD, but there is nothing in the Spare Parts menu on my phone. I also tried to find if there was a recent download on the author's site but the last one makes reference to CM 5.x

Anyone know what I'm missing here?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dburg84:
The xml file for CM6 anyway goes in /sdcard/CMTheme

When you select a theme from CM6 it will be in there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] idumych:
I just tried that, and the theme did show up but I got an error that it couldn't parse it. So it must be a different format than Spare Parts.

[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
well after only about 6 months i have had it with Sprint.

I live in Cedar Rapids, Ia and the service here is to the point of almost not even having data.

by that i mean i have been consistantly getting 50-100kbps. day or not.

occassionaly between 6am and 9am i can get 700-1100kbps but this is not a daily routine.

I have been speaking to and met with the Regional Sprint Manager who was a very nice, polite and well spoken woman to work with.

She, unfortunately for sprint, has let loose on some key things such as her getting calls from their business customers that the network is toast and data is gone. and that for years its been known that Sprint in Cedar Rapids has been horrible. although the latter comment was not a blatant statement but more under the table & nonchalant.

we swapped phones and nothing changed, as she admitted probably would happen.

but i am working with her to get out of my contract with no fee's because i am not, and never have gotten actual 3G service. I was blatantly mislead and lied to on several occassions about the service in CR and even told by a store employee "oh yeah, we are going to get 4G by christmas". when the fact of the matter is because of my contacts in the wireless world, Iowa isnt even on the roadmap for 4G in any of the future plans my contacts have seen although they admit it is no doubt coming.

but even if they say i have to pay the early term. fees i dont care i am done with sprint and i will pay my fees in my own due time.

funny thing is.... the minute you leave cedar rapids, ia and start travelling down the highway your data speeds go thru the friggin roof..... but.. i dont live out on the highway in the middle of nowhere, i live in town, where service is not even service.. its 1xRTT at BEST.

I have int he past even been going 75mph down the highway, been tethered to my EVO with my iPad, and been streaming Netflix to my ipad thru my EVO... but the minute you hit Cedar Rapids,,, the network is history. and has been like that for a long time, i doubt sprint will ever fix it, it will take alot... a l o t of T1's to fix their oversold network.

yesterday i went to US Cellular and got hooked up with a Samsung Mesmerize.

Its no EVO but its a nice phone none the less. but the service, even though maxes out at about 1200kbps, is lightyears better than Sprint Service ever will be.

i thought about getting the HTC Desire but its too small. i dont like small screens, but its a Sense phone and as such is a nice phone and has the email and browser i like.

The mesmerize is not, and uses the stock android browser and email which i friggin hate. but... it is what it is.....

good bye sprint, good bye evo.....

look for a couple of evo's in the for sale section of XDA :)
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
So, for the first 30 days where you had time to test out the service, were you never home to test out the service? That is why they give you thirty days. If I had crappy service for the first week, I would be at the Sprint store returning the phone.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
oh believe me i would have but, i was assured repeatedly that this was not normal Sprint when i reported issues. it wasnt AS bad back in June/July even though it was still far far less than minimal 3G speeds. I was told repeatedly atleast twice a month that trouble tickets were made and the field guys were looking into the issues.

But, obviously they have done nothing, absolutely nothing because not only has it not been fixed it is now worse than it ever has been.

so 30 days what ever... when sprint tells customers its getting looked into and yet absolutely nothing happens, well, what do you expect.

i am going to get fed up and leave, but i wont leave and pay ANY fees, they lied to me to get me to sign up, they lied to me to stay, and i refuse to allow anyone or any company to do that to me.
[EVO 4G General] Joeriginal:
yeah thirty days would of been more than enough time to figure this out, after that I would understand why Sprint wouldnt let you out of your ETF, especially after sticking through it for 6 months. And some reps arent really lying as much as speaking out of ignorance, 4g is being rolled out every month in different cities, but not on any schedule that I know of. But like you said it was always bad service by you so you didnt just wake up one day and your had nothing to work with. Sprint isnt much to blame for not covering the whole nation with service, all providers have bad spots, Im sorry that you live in one of Sprints. I hope you US Cellular works out better for you.
[EVO 4G General] mitchellvii:
So I guess we shouldn't go with Sprint if we live in uninhabited backwaters then?
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
umm bye ?

sounds like some attention whoring going on here
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Verizon have service there? Reason is if they do then you can just use roam control to stay on verizons towers in cedar rapids.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I would check VZ
[EVO 4G General] chamala2000:
I switched to Sprint from ATT (Iphone) and so far love it.

No dropped calls, better signal and more crisp voice.

Rooted EVO is as much fun as JB Iphone.
[EVO 4G General] mitchellvii:
I have a 6 bedroom house and signal dies whenever I go inside very far. I use the Airave and I get full bars now everywhere in the house.
[EVO 4G General] dabezt1:
You should of just used a Verizon PRL, it would of probably increased your data speeds aslong as verizon had good coverage there. Worse case scenerio would of been Sprint canceling your contract without a ETF for excesive roaming...

RoamControl doesnt do anything for DATA roaming. You need to manually load a different PRL with ##775#
[EVO 4G General] #Winning#:
Just a recommendation, if your not getting good service I would talk to someone in retention. I did this due to my phone dropping calls constantly inside my house. Anyways when all was said and done, I got a FREE Airave plus service for the Airave for free they just wave it every month. Just something to consider trying before you pay that termination fee, companies are very unlikely to let you go free.
[EVO 4G General] semperlux:
LOL.. *sorry* "attention whoring"? Is that what it's called?

I've been disappointed with Sprint and my Evo many times for a variety of different reasons and I don't think I even told my wife--even after she stopped me from slamming my Blackberry 8330 up against the wall. Life's not perfect, that's what makes it cool--creating solutions. Good luck with other carriers.

Roam control!
[EVO 4G General] rooster94:
Any idea how much roaming Sprint would consider, "excessive?" One of the phones on my account roams just about all of the time (He is stationed at an AFB in South Dakota, basically the middle of nowhere) and I'm curious if any one knows how much roaming would cause Sprint to end the contract...
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
There is a certain percentage I think but I was stationed at Vandenburg AFB in California and I roamed there for almost two years straight and received no warning. Still with Sprint today.

I'm sorry but I never believe any of these customer service horror stories and, with all due respect, I see this as nothing but your own mistake/error.

I have NEVER had an issue with Sprint customer service in EIGHT years and two months with Sprint.

Have I had issues with a bill?

A few times.

Solved with a simple phone call.

Have I had issues with a store?

One, and I will never go there again.

Have I EVER had an issue with *2?

Not once.

You ever have an ex-girlfriend write you a really long angry letter about how she's not speaking to you anymore? You know she just wants attention because if she really didn't want to speak to you anymore she would have never written the letter and just walked away. Every post like this is exactly the same phenomenon. You're boasting about leaving because you're over compensating for the fact that deep down you think you may actually be at fault. Just leave and preserve your dignity.

[EVO 4G General] captblaze:
i have been with sprint since 1997 and have had only one bad experience.

i changed my plan based on the official sprint 4g coverage map that showed i should have in building 4g at my address. it is 6 months later (all kinds of correspondence with all sorts of people) and there is still no 4g signal available at my home (the coverage map now shows on street instead of in building), and yes i do realize clear is partly responsible.

that being said... i would have never left my ultra cheap free and clear plan had the coverage map been truthful and to be honest sprint for that matter.

so yes there are a few that slip through the cracks and become horror stories.

and for the record i didnt leave... i want them to make it right

[EVO 4G General] MordyT:
Just as a quick note to the OP (and all) in my area (Milwaukee WI) myself and several others using a variety of phones have been noticing that the sprint network is way overloaded... I am luck to pull anywhere from 45 kbps to 280 kbps... 6 months ago I could usually pull 1mb to 2 mb down no issue...
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
Your fault OP. 30 days is plenty of time to figure out whether you have coverage or not. Quit boo-hooing about something that's your fault.
[EVO 4G General] bwcorvus:
Bye Bye
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I have never had an issue with customer service period on any company. People with these horror stories have them because they are dicks to the representatives so the representatives don't care.

And again why didn't you cancel within 30 days? It took you six months to figure out you had no service? This is purely 100% your fault.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
lets let this thread die, OP hasnt checked in for a while and am pretty sure he wont and has already resolved his issue by his own schedule
[EVO 4G General] Ivanstein:
To the OP, I feel your pain. Sprint works great every where for me except my own neighborhood. About 1/2 mile in any direction and its fine. So, at my house, the phones suck. I have asked them when they are going to contract with the tower I can look out my back door and see a few yards away and am assured "its in the works". But I never hold them to it, because, when I asked one of the CSRs on the phone if my TP2 would be charged for using whatever wifi router app I had on it for tethering, the CSR said, "What's tethering?" I got a good chuckle out of that.

The only thing that keeps me with Sprint is that I get a discount because I signed up through a friend in Amway, and the discount stays with me, and to switch carriers would cost easily another c-note a month. Sprint is cheaper, and with the discount, it adds up. Sometimes though, the frustration is almost not worth it....almost.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Ratman2356:
So I have spent the last 3 hours scouring the site and web looking for a theme that works like the Blackmod Enhanced theme for fascinate. Have not found a single thing to mod the backlight timer so maybe can't be done yet. Anyone tried that theme on the captivate?

I am rooted and tried cog 2.bv6 but it killed my wi-fi at home which was a deal breaker for me. This time trying to just tweak the stock eclair and really would love to have the 15 second extended backlight for the soft keys, the enhanced power button with reboot, recovery etc options, a battery percentage indicator (and full flash support, I realize that is more than just theme based and gets into full blown ROM's but doesn't hurt to throw it in, getting by with Skyfire browser for now)

Anyone know of a theme or very very very stable ROM that will give me these features? Backlight is the biggie as it's the only thing I can't stand on the phone.

Rob

:edited typos
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mindbullet:
I flashed Assonance 4.3, disbled the lagfix, flashed SetiroN's 1200MHz 1.4.5 Kernal, followed by the gingerbread theme (I only got the theme to flash by renaming it to update.zip and flashing in recovery manually) and it is running very stable and has backlight notifications.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nybmx:
AFAIK there is nothing that currently extends the backlight to stay lit longer. I'm hoping someone figures this out soon because I'd like the keys to stay lit for as long as the screen is on. The only thing available is backlight notifications which are lit up when you have a new text, email, or missed call.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mindbullet:
I would love to have them on while the screen is visible (Except for video watching) as well. I wonder why manufacturers don't use a technology similar to the screen like the nook for the buttons? It would just be backwards... have it be all dark with a bit of the lighter color showing through. It would be easy enough to see and not take hardly any battery power right?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
So this looks to be possible right now; however, it would be exceedingly difficult to do this in a sane way. For example, how do you know when to turn the lights off? Should they just be kept on until the phone falls asleep? I'd have to dig into AOSP a lot more, but I'm thinking this isn't a cut and dry easy to implement feature by any means.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Ratman2356:
Was talking to someone about this in another thread and there was a misunderstanding. The point to extending the backlight for the soft keys, for me anyway, would be to keep them active thus eliminating the need to touch the screen to enable the back or home button (or pressing the button several times to get it to wake up). Just in case someone had the wrong impression of the goal here.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BumRush:
I think just giving the option of the length of time someone wants them to stay on kind of solves this. I would love them to stay on for 15 seconds or so instead of the 3 seconds it is at now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] joeshmoe08:
Ya I seriously would like this implemented. DEVS someone please try to do this. I would gladly be willing to donate for it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
So I wasn't clear before. I'll try again.

There are technical issues with detecting when the user has stopped touching the screen. It isn't as simple as raising a timeout value, you'd have to create an application that was constantly monitoring all gestures, using a good bit of processing power and battery.

This appears to be controlled by hardware for the most part.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] joeshmoe08:
How about as a start the application can at least extend the time to 15 sec after any one of the bottom 4 buttons are pressed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] apeko:
I would be happy just having the lights lit. The key activity for the 2-3 seconds is fine.

I am getting old i guess and need to see where the keys are
[Captivate Themes and Apps] momulah:
On Di11igafs 2.5 they stay on at least 10 seconds so there must be a way..

I switch from Virtuous to CM pretty much every time there is an update so I'm wondering how do I restore my previous text messages.

I did create a backup before I flashed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slambaz2:
I don't know how to restore from a back up, but you might want to look into sms backup n2 manager. It will backup your messages and restore them whenever you switch roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
Your old messages should be there if you restore from a backup. I dont know of anyway to extract messages from a sense backup and put them in a cm install or the otherway around. You could always load up your backup then use a msg app like the above poseter said.....then load up a new rom and get your messages from the app.

- CM6

- MidianUI r2e

- Desire stock (with init.d support enabled through ramdisk - more info)

Don't work yet:

(about HD roms in general. They will be the ones with most issues because they use external space for system stuff because of the size of the HD Rom - ill still try to make my script work with them)

I dont understand your issue. Do you have apps2sd+ (ie an ext partition on your sd card)? If not you will need to create one. Using gparted you wont lose any data on your SD card.

Im not sure if a logcat would really help and im also not sure how to do it in windows. In Linux you can do "adb logcat > /path/to/a/file/you/want/to/save/to.txt ". I think i have to take a look at the filesystem myself after install and see if symlink and all works.

It depends if the ROM uses init.d. It would help me more if you first try the normal one and report it back so i know what ROMS needs the fix. If it doesnt work you can still try the cm one.
