What drivers might I not have installed because that is the message I'm getting. When I plugged in my phone via USB and changed it to PC mode, all the drivers but one, installed correctly. The one that failed was " MTP USB Device ". I did a search on this, but I couldn't find anything that sounded like a connection to what was causing the above error that I'm receiving.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Actually I take that back. Windows says the driver is installed, but in the device manager, there is an exclamation point and it says the device cannot start. No idea what that means...

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Ok so I uninstalled this and attempted to reinstall it and it failed. It's the Motorola MTP Interface.

Just wanted to say that since xda added iPhone (lol) to its list of phones there sure has been an outbreak of trolls!

I just wonder why ppl are complaining about a phone they hate but continue to use. We all know battery life sucks (things are looking up ) and yea it lags sometimes but seriously I am baffled by all the hating. I for one love my phone and have had my problems with it but with development changing all the time there is always a dev willing to fix your problem.

I only wanted to share my love for the Evo so ppl can share there love also... lmao...
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
1) Battery life doesn't suck, if you tweak the phone. Which, logically, doesn't mean that it sucks if you don't.

2) My Evo seems to be doing everything above 40fps. Can't really say that it's lagging.
[EVO 4G General] craigbailey1986:
This was total sarcasm (from me) from what trolls have been saying... like I said I love my Evo don't have any problems with it.. I am currently getting 16+ hours which is why I said things are looking up...I also don't have any lag issue but o have had random lag before but this supposed to be a mini computer so of course its not gonna be perfect everyday/sec
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
You got me:)
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I also think it has to do with the lack of moderating on these forums.

Clear and obvious trolls [I can name two names right now but won't] should be banned.

But here they aren't.

Pretty much you have to spam the report button to get any kind of response from the moderating crew.

And then you run the risk of your own ban for "bothering" them.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It's pretty simple. I own a EVO because I wanted a Android phone to take advantage of Google Voice which I use as a business line. It's a good phone, but as good as the EVO is, it isn't perfect. I personally don't start threads criticizing the EVO (because it simply doesn't make sense to here) but if the discussion comes up and people start responding about how the EVO is crystal clear perfect, I speak up. If you were expecting a forum where EVO users just high five'n themselves in ignorant bliss well then just ignore posts like that.

I personally don't see a problem with criticism if it's done tastefully (i.e. with specifics and not general blanketing statements like "OMGZ the EVO/iPhone sucks!"). And it goes both ways anyway - you can't go to any Android site and read about other phones without some (and funny enough EVO users are by freaking far biggest culprits) idiots yelling "SO WHAT!! MY PHONE IS THE BEST!!!" You've got the same people here.

Bottom line this is a General forum about the EVO, and anything about should go. Trolls are trolls and generally say idiotic things that should just be ignored; but don't be surprised when vocal people like me to speak up when a complete EVO fanboy goes into fantasy land.

[EVO 4G General] matthewjulian:
Yeah...love my Evo...BUT dying to get my hands on anything Terga 2. Trolls are ignorant fanboys with zero life, I am gonna jump on something faster and more efficient as soon as it becomes feasible....but for now my Evo is wonderful and hasn't failed my yet!

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
So why did you start this thread? You really believe that an owner of a product should be prohibited from criticizing it? It's either you love it all the way or you are a troll? What kind of reasoning is that?
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
He is clearly a fanboy who doesn't like anything negative to be said about the Evo.

Any issue/rant thread on this site will somehow grab the attention of the OP and is followed by a defensive comment.

Tsk Tsk.. my falcon game is calling my full attention, trying hard not to entertain you.. have a good day thanks for the bumps

I assume this is from the other thread? What did they tell you? The lack of moderation here is kind of ridiculous
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
almost all the evo users i know love the phone. it's also praised very highly online. as a matter a fact many of the users and devs at precentral just bought evo's to replace their palm pre's. :D

as far as the iphone, it's a great phone but hardly what id call a smartphone. im willing to bet $$ though that alot of users will be switching to one once the cdma version hits though.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I'm curious, how is the iPhone 4 not a smartphone?
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Who cares.

My firetrucks better than yours. Children people.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
No true multitasking, being locked out of installing anything not found in apple's market (without jail breaking), these two alone make it seem pretty dumbphone-ish to me.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Actually they didn't say anything to me.

The mere comment that they put at the bottom was enough for me to say that.

Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
^ This is the crap I hate on this forum... such arrogance. The iPhone is the smartphone all other smart phones try to emulate. To say 'its hardly what I call a smartphone' because you can't change the rom every 2 weeks and brick your phone every month is hardly an excuse.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Okay first

1) Apples multitasking kicks Androids ass. I'm not fanboying this - its the truth. You want to see whats running? Double click the button. On Android you really have no clue whats running. Better multitasking? Apple wins. It saves battery and makes it easy to see whats running

2) You're right about the packs. Apple really has the app store in its talon claws of doom. I think they need to find a nice middle ground in between Googles crazy malware infested appstore and their own nazi like app store. At least jailbreaking is legal now and Apple cannot deny fixing your phone if its jailbroken - unlike if its rooted.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I honestly don't think that anyone cares about what you hate on this forum.

The only thing you ever do is try to stir up trouble.

There's nothing wrong with what his post said.

It's, in fact, mostly true.

MOST Evo users ARE in love with their phone.

The Evo IS highly praised online and throughout the tech world.

And it is very, very likely that a significant amount of people will move to the iPhone once it's on the Verizon network.

So you can shut up now, thanks.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Oh look its DirtyShroomz boyfriend. :D
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
1. LMAO. You truly don't even know the Android system so why are you talking about it?

Better multitasking?

I would say Android wins at this, that's after having used a Pre for an entire year.

Android's multitasking is simply and easy to switch through.

Apple's is a, very weak, rip off of what Android/WebOS has.

2. Don't worry, if Apple has it's way, and I'm sure it's still trying, you'll only own the lease to the phone and not the phone itself.

That lawsuit in itself is why I will never own Apple.

Besides the fact that they ban apps because they don't like what the app is talking about.

[Like when it banned a magazine app because it had more articles about Android than IOS or when it banned a wikileaks app]

Yeah, I'm good on censoring what apps I want for my phone, thanks.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Please explain how Android does multitasking better than Apple or Palm. Android can run any app you throw at it with its buddies but finding whats running and managing them is a nightmare. Prove me wrong.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Do you know what pressing the Home button for a second does?

It brings up the 8 last used apps. [And if you use Launcher Pro and have the new version you can swipe up on the app menu button and see the last 16 apps. CM 6.1.1 allows you to set it to where when you press the home button you see up to 15 apps]

Why is it better than Palms way?

Because Palm's way has no organization what so ever.

At least with the way that Android, IOS and Blackberry [who has actually had this capability years prior to any of the others] you get the icons of what is running so it's all organized.

Also, when it comes to Android, if something is an ongoing app then it should be running in the notification area.

It is in NO way Google's fault if developers do NOT take advantage of the design of Android.

Apple's way is a straight [bad] rip off of the other ways. [Such as being

extremely limited versus Android's way

]

Blackberry has used this exact same way for, as I said, years.

At least with Android's way [over apples] you don't have to swipe to see more than 4 apps. It's not multitasking if its faster to just go to your app menu and reopen it that way.

The other part of this is that Apple released this after the Apple store was at 150,000 apps or so. The others released it much sooner in their life span.

So for years people could only use one freakin' app even if they had hundreds.

Silly.

The funny part is that you always bad mouth people who like Android for being "fan boys" but what are you being here?

Completely ignoring the fact that Apple completely stole what others HAD been doing and called it brand new.

Sounds like an "Apple fan boy" to me.

Sounds like typical Apple too.
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
This EVO forum is such rubbish. Everyone here is so damn childish. It's the worse I've been a part of ever.

Anyhow...I'll add my say because you people piss me off enough to want to say something. The EVO is a simple phone that didn't add anything ground-breaking to the mix aside from being the first 4G phone. It's mediocre at best. I do not like mine and if I hadn't rooted and switched to AOSP I would not have lasted this long with it. I usually update my phone every 6 months or so and I'm due, but seriously, if you had been a part of Android from day 1, this phone is not anything to really stand behind. It's plastic, the screen sucks, battery life sucks, and HTC crippled it with all types of useless ****.

And for the iPhone haters...seriously. Grow up. I hate rotten Apples a lot, but there is no denying that their phones are good enough for the majority of users out there. They dumb it down and that works because, lets face it, most people are just dumb. *I say the same thing about people who like SenseUI.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
If you don't like a phone you buy from Sprint you are more than welcome to return it during the 30 day return period.

Being as you didn't [if you even own an Evo and are not just trolling this thread] you, sir, are the one that's "dumb" as you label others.

I would never keep a phone that I didn't like.

The Evo is the perfect size screen with solid internals for 2010.

When it was released it was a top tier phone, but like ALL TECHNOLOGY, that honor only lasts for so long.

I don't even know [nor do I think you know] what "HTC crippled it with all types of useless ****" means so we'll just leave that comment at that.

You can also stop telling people to "grow up" because they don't like something.

You don't seem to like posters on this forum so maybe you should "grow up" too eh?

I have a couple other comments for ya.

First of all, I don't hate the iPhone [although I don't really like it]

I hate Apple.

They block apps because THEY don't agree with whatever the app is.

They blocked google voice for a year and a half because it was google.

They blocked a magazine app because it had more Android articles than IOS.

They blocked a wikileaks app.

They try to sue because people are "jail breaking" their phone that they purchase and so Apple tries to make it so that you simply buy a license for their products....yeah...**** you apple. If I would have own any of their products when I heard that they would have been sold immediately.

Only four examples of a million.

Also, what is so bad about Sense UI?

Ya know what I have used both AOSP and Sense and the differences are minor at best.

So how about you give a good reason for what you're saying.
[EVO 4G General] Cy_n_ic:
Wow! Trolls trolling trolls. This is a+ entertainment right here.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Pretty much. Its funny because a lot of people here don't really investigate their phones pros and cons. There definitely is some pros to Android which can make or break it.

1) Android is not limited to ATT contract like iPhone is (BIG deal especially considering the iPhone users are crippling the network with their overzealous app download/usage)

2) Android is open source so you can have a variety of devs fix/change things before the corporations do (such as 30fps fix for Evo)

3) Android apps are not limited to the weird App market regulations - this can be a pro AND a con depending. The Android market certainly has a lot more malicious apps than the Apple store but also gives users more variety of apps that don't need to be 'approved' by Apples harsh, and profitable, standards.

4) Flash vs. HTML5 support. Its obvious biggy for now. Certainly in 3-4 years we will have one standard which will be HTML5 but in the meantime Android users are not stuck with just youtube. This was recently remedied by Apple with the new browser (forget its name) that converts flash to HTML5. But... you have to pay for that browser :(

I can be like any other member on here and suck the Android tit as much as the next user and claim this to be the best phone EVAR. The fact of the matter is its not anything groundbreaking past the WiMAX radio. The screen is large, but just a normal LCD. It runs all the other Android versions that others do. It does not excel hardware wise, and in any case it actually hinders performance quite a bit.

All things being said, a smart phone is only as smart as the carrier that supplies you with its capabilities. I don't care much for Sprint as they promised 4G in my area and even LISTED it as live in my area but there is not a single 4G tower nor will there be by the end of the year like they promised. Their 3G speeds are decent but I have yet to lose 3G which is nice unlike Tmobile which is lucky to get 3G anywhere. 4G and not having a subpar GSM provider were my main reasons for getting the Evo. Maybe is Sprint kept to their word and finally put up some damn 4G towers in my area my decision on the Evo would change but after speaking to them today it appears as though they are not going to have it until my contract runs out.

There is definitely a lot of fanboyism on these threads for sure. Instead of saying its a troll when you criticize a phone, look at the LOGICAL reasons and present them having experienced other phones. Matty just said a feature in the iPhone which does not even exist. It really baffles me because he is definitely saying crap without trying it - the worst kind of fanboy there is.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
See this is why I am done trying to have an intelligent conversation with you.

This is why everyone refers to you as a troll.

And this is why you should be banned as you add NOTHING to any discussion.

I respond to you and because you have NOTHING intelligent to say you just flat out ignore what I say to you and then make some snide comment about how I talked about some feature that doesn't even exist and then you call me a name.

Any other forum in the world you would have been banned long ago.
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
Ha...I must be a troll who does not even own the damn phone. Childish...

Let me break it down for you...I owned the G1, MyTouch 3G, Nexus One, and when I couldn't take the terrible service of T-Mobile anymore, I switched to Verizon for the Incredible, returned it within 2 weeks, and bought the EVO because, well, why not have the newest shiny if I was going to do something stupid like give up my Nexus.

So...if you don't even know who JesusFreke is, STFU. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
No I don't know who "JesusFreke" is nor do I see how that's relevant here.

Maybe if you don't want to be called names you won't call people names for disliking something.

You came into this thread calling people dumb and childish for their opinions so what do you expect the response to be?

I could not give a damn what phones you say you've owned nor do I care what phones you've actually owned.

I asked you to give examples of what you said/explain what you said and you cannot even do that.

So who is childish here bud?

Ok for those who keep posting in this thread.... I am thankful for the bumps but this thread is becoming exactly what i was talking about.

Please stop arguing with those who dont like there phone. Its pure preference to me but I just dont think if you hate a phone you go to a specific thread about a phone and talk about how much you hate it, imo.

Hopefully you guys will get over yourselves and let this childish nonsense go... Its not that serious..:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Irony. Everyone who says something that is non praising and delicious about the Evo is labeled, by you, a troll.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Dude, the second you posted this thread the conversation went a different way.

Even your OP was encouraging of this type of discussion.

It, infact, never continued to be off-tracked until werxen had to continue to do what he does best.

I merely made the mistake of actually trying to have an intelligent conversation with him which is clearly not possible.

Moreover, this thread was nothing but "childish" attention grabbing anyway.

There's only one person I said was a troll and that's you.

And I doubt you could find one forum member that wouldn't agree with that.

[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
what did you expect was going to happen when you posted in an EVO centric thread??? here's your sign
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Syphon Filter:
Hi,

I wasn't sure where to post this but the issue I am experiencing is on the Nexus S and I couldn't find mention of the problem elsewhere, so this seemed like a logical place to start.

I have Agenda Widget and it seems to work for the most except for the following bug:

If you click an event/date the event/calendar opens. If you now press "Back" the event/calendar view closes.

If you repeat the above process but instead of pressing Back you press Home, the next time you press an event/date the calendar takes a long time to open. The effect is cumulative the more times you use the Home button to close the calendar (after opening it via Agenda Widget).

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?

TIA,

Syphon.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] roflharrison:
This sounds like a problem with the calendar application rather than Agenda Widget (I'm the dev of Agenda Widget, Hi :D). When you press the home button in any application it pauses the current activity, when you press the back button it stops the current activity.

This problem sounds like the actual calendar application isn't managing the pause/restore process properly and is trying to re-load the entire activity rather than restoring it.

The fact that it is a Google application suggests that the above scenario is unlikely and maybe Google have changed their code in Android 2.3 which I may have to account for in AAW. If you can email me a log of the problem you outlined I will analyse it and look for the cause, roflharrison at gmail.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Syphon Filter:
wow!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I suspect you are correct in your analysis of the situation.

Clearly, pressing a date/event from the widget simply invokes the built-in calendar app and the subsequent back/home button presses (and the reaction to these inputs) are simply OS level interactions.

I don't know if this will help further but I noticed that pressing an event followed by the home key essentially stacks up events/calendar states (that's not the right word but best way I can think to describe it).

For example:

Press: Event 1 -> Event 1 is shown

Press: Home -> Returned to home.

Press: Event 2 -> Lag -> Event 2 is shown

Press: Home -> Returned to home.

Press: Event 3 -> Lag -> Event 3 is shown.

Press: Home -> Returned to home.

.

.

.

Press: Even n -> Lag -> Event n is shown

Press: Home -> Returned to home.

If you now press event n+1, event n+1 will be shown. If you now start pressing the "back" button, the calendar will page through every event that was previously selected...the calendar has remembered every previous state that it was invoked into (as long as the back button was not pressed at any stage). If the back button is used the calendar is returned to a null/default state and the next time it is invoked there is no issue.

Regarding the log, where would I find that? Also, if (as we suspect) this is an OS level issue, would any record of the problem even be in the log?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] roflharrison:
You can make a log by downloading alogcat from the market and opening it after you have performed the actions which are causing the problem. You can then email from alogcat and it will send the recent activity on the phone.

This behavior is strange (and as far as I know specific to Gingerbread), I am going to get my friend who has a G-bread ROM to test and see if he gets similar results...
