Updated the op.
[Droid Incredible General] V0latyle:
I like the idea of a Sense rom that incorporates many of the features and enhancements of CM7...though that probably won't happen until a Gingerbread OTA is released. Things that have kept me away from SkyRaider (and other Sense roms) and towards AOSP:

-Notification power toggles (fully customizable)

-Ability to use third party launchers

-"Native" USB and wireless tethering (found under Wireless Networks menu)

-Screen power on/off effect in CM7 (maybe I'm just being pedantic)

-Overall granular customizability that isn't there in Sense roms

Maybe this would be a lot easier if Sense wasn't proprietary...if it was open source, I'm sure we would see a lot more (and better) variants...
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
I would love a gingerbread/sense combo, im sure im in the minority.

Where does it mention the Evo?

Edit heres proof its and EVO http://www.cbsatlanta.com/news/26391487/detail.html
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
I didnt see where it said anything about an HTC EVO being the hero on the day. Did i miss something?

Edit: Didn't see your comment on the local news, well I'll take your work for it. +1 for the EVO :)

oh and thanks for verifying Justin.G11

Glad Sprint/HTC is replacing it. THE SMARTPHONE THAT CAN STOP A BULLET!! I like it!
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Quick Google turned up this .... it deifnately was an HTC:

[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Is the EVO battery that unique? Honestly I was hoping to see the whole phone with a bullet hole in it... but this will have to do.

EDIT: I dryly commented that I think they could cite Act of God ... but I'm editing that out because I doubt myself . I'm genuinely currious to be honest.
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
Yes it is that unique, it stops bullets! Dont you watch the news? haha :D
[EVO 4G General] kf2m:
The Evo is also mentioned by name at the end of the CBS Atlanta clip.

As a footnote, the bullet was traveling at a very shallow angle judging from the damage to the battery. Definitely not a straight on shot.
[EVO 4G General] diego1985:
The Police are going to refund him to buy another phone, They kept his phone as evidence in the crime. So he won't have to use none of his insurance, if he has any.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
I'm at work and can't actually listen to the clip ... thanks :)
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:

"Now Garber is waiting for endorsements, "Sprint can contact me whenever they would like or HTC.""

Wow..really? What a tool. I am glad the cell phone saved his life and all, but why would you get endorsements? You didn't do anything special, you just got shot and it just so happened the cell phone was there. Now, it would be different if he got shot at, he grabbed the phone and deflected the shot..ha.
[EVO 4G General] HTCRALEIGHFAN:

[EVO 4G General] rooster94:
Interesting, don't remember the life saving feature being advertised. They must have added that in the latest OTA or something.
[EVO 4G General] KommodoreHeinz:
oh well the reply button works really well.

And since I was the one that posted that, I'll answer.

HTC Evo - Thin plastic back covering the battery.

It seems likely.

That guy is incredibly lucky. Li-Ion batteries don't "like" being hammered on. They tend to explode or catch on fire...a fire that gets worse if you put water on it.

Sweet smelling burn though...toxic too.

And now phone is frozen right after I turn it on it only shows me O2 welcome message. Please don't tell me that it is coz the phone is locked to o2 network :( because there r so many threads and no one mentioned that u can't install android if the phone is locked or I missed something:( SO any help pls? I am freaking out that my phone is dead.

When I press a red button near the sim card while holding volume down and it shows 3 colour screen and connect it to the pc , pc does make a sound as phone was recognised but it doesnt come up with any windows or anything that I could see that phone is there.. Is there any way I can install old rom or smthing to get my poor phone back, please help me, I am not experienced in this at all and first attempt failed :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Put the phone into BootLoader mode. At the bottom of the screen you will see 'Serial'. Now plug it into your computer and the 'Serial' changes to 'USB' - you have made a good connection to the computer. The computer doesn't recognise it as a phone, because the phone firmware has not been booted up, so don't wory about it.

Run the O2 ROM form the computer. One of the conditions is that you have made an ActiveSync connection, just tick the box and proceed.

Once the ROM has flashed, it is advised to do a hard reset, but I have never had a problem not doing it.

Now you are back to the begining.

You are getting a little mixed up between Operator (SIM) Locked and Firmware Locked. They are independant of each other. You can SIM unlock your phone, which means you can use any telecom's SIM card in your phone even though the phone boots up with an O2 logo. You can unlock the firmware (HSPL) so that you can use the stock HTC ROM (not the 3.14 version) or one of the excellant custom ROMs, now the phone won't show any of the O2 stuff but you are still limited to using O2 SIM cards.

Now you have to Run HSPL2 and select the SPL 2.08.HSPL. Since you want to run Android NAND you have to flash a .50 RADIO - try the 2.15.50.14 RADIO.

I would have a real good read * HERE *. And if you want to go ahead, the read it again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luken10:
I have begun to start flashing my captivate and have noticed that (at least to what i believe) in froyo you can not use headphones to listen to call audio. I have flashed 2 stock eclair roms and they are working perfectly with this feature. However any eclair rom I try sound is only routed to the internal speakers. I have tried Perception, cognition and even JI6 stock. None will route call audio through the headphones.

If anyone could test it on their phones and report back that would be great. I am wondering if it a bug in captivate froyo roms, or if it is just because of froyo.

*Update*

Found this thread in the Vibrant Forums. Initially they say it is a problem with froyo. However there are a couple roms which do fix the problem. So there must be a way for our captivate too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luken10:
Any one have any luck testing this on their rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee.shalako:

i cant use any audio out =(, having the same problem with it hooked up in my car
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Look for roms that have:

xcaliburinhand's

-headset jack fix
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabamaroping:
hardware solutions

You are correct sir. Anything 2.2 or newer (2.2.1) does not enable audio out through the headset (even with Xcal's headset fix) unless you are using a headset that has a microphone on it.

How does the phone know? If you look at your headset that came with the phone, it has 3 rings around the plug. Left audio, Right audio, and Mic. If the phone doesn't see that 3rd ring, then it will turn off audio out when a call comes in.

The fix will cost you about $20. You can get an adapter with 3 rings going into the phone, and a female spot for the audio you hook to your car.

If you already have a 3.5mm jack hard wired to your vehicle and/or want to use the cable you have, use this:

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=26380 (what I got)

or this:

http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iSoni...RCTS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1295297829&sr=8-2

(what I wish I would have got)

If you have an AUX port on the front of your radio, and want another solution (new cable) buy this:

http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-GC170...PYKK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1295297829&sr=8-4

Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothpunk4christ:
Thank you so much for your informative post.

Problem is.... $20 is too much atm. :D I am POOR with a capital PO'.... I couldn't afford to capitalize the or. Wonder if there would possibly be any way to work around this issue software-wise? My stereo aux cable worked great in Eclair. Problem is, I don't get al the speed and shiny of Froyo with Eclair. At least I know what the issue is now...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcaliburinhand:
Pretty much nailed it. Once the kernel receives the interrupt that something has been plugged in, it checks the resistance between ring 3 and 4 (microphone and ground). If it is low, the kernel recognizes that it is either a normal pair of earphones or a line out (since ring 3 and 4 are the same on a normal 3 ring connector).

Gothpunk4christ reached out to me for a solution that doesn't require additional hardware (still want's to use the microphone on the handset). Shouldn't be too difficult to build a custom kernel that treats headphones/line out as a wired headset. The kicker is making sure the kernel doesn't disable the handset microphone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothpunk4christ:
You're awesome dude.

If anyone's looking for someone to randomly donate to, this guy is it. He's been very helpful and polite and going beyond what I would consider a helpful response in order to make this work.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemesishaven:
seriously.

This is majorly irritating--I use my captivate as an mp3player all the time and it's a pain in the ass to take out my headphones every time a call comes through.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcaliburinhand:
I9000_reoriented_v2.3.1_bln_hpcalls.zip has a fix in it.

I can confirm that this kernel does fix the call audio issue. Everything gets routed through the headphones, which is a nice sigh of relief. Thanks for all of your input everyone!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd3156:
Let me tell you about my quest regarding this subject:

I first tried using a Motorokr t505 bluetooth device that featured a FM transmitter, but the audio quality was absolutely horrible thru the car radio (too much static regardless which station you tried), not to mention the clumsy way you had to switch back and forth from phone mode to music player via the FM transmitter, coupled with the fact the stupid device was always giving you a new FM station to tune into - it just simply was way too much of a hassle plus more of a safety hazard trying to get the motorokr device to work and in the correct mode while driving. There had to be a better, more simply way to enjoy the feature of using your cell phone for conversations thru your car radio.

I've been using a cheap $15 FM transmitter (http://www.amazon.com/Coby-CA-745-W...F6G0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298180340&sr=8-1) I got a while back from Amazon and the mp3 music quality from my Samsung Captivate was great thru to my car stereo - I mean no static what-so-ever. The problem was, I couldn't use the phone thru the care stereo. So I rooted my phone, and now a whole new world opened up.

I up my Firmware to 2.2.1 (froyo) via superoneclick, change to a custom ROM ParagonRCS (see http://alchemistar.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-captivate-custom-rom-list-1110.html ), and I took advantage of the speedmod kernal (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880 ).

Now my Samsung Captivate, when connected to my cheap FM transmitter, can send and receive calls thru my car stereo. I also use a free app called ChoiceDialer. So now all I have to do is invoke ChoiceDialer (the only time I have to touch the phone while driving), say who I want to call, and voila - my call goes thru the car radio. Also, when my mp3 music is playing thru the radio via my Captivate, and a call comes in (which I have it setup on my phone to auto answer after 2 seconds), the music pauses and I just start talking - excellent!!!

The only slightly down side is when I'm NOT listening to my mp3 player and thus tuned into another FM station, when a call does comes in, I have to select on my stereo the pre-set button that's set to the station my FM transmitter is set to, but not a big deal - I certainly can live with that!

Sorry for the long-winded response, but you don't know (or maybe you do) how frustrating it was trying to get information on this subject. I thought bluetooth was the answer, but quite frankly, my 1st and only experince with bluetooth sucked.

The end!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Czayen:
Hi,

I hope someone can help me as this has been bugging me for a while now.

Basically when I was on stock 2.1 Eclair when I clicked on the contact photo I had a Google Talk icon there so I was able to start the chat with the person without going to GTalk app itself. Straight after OTA upgrade to 2.2 Froyo the icon disappeared.

Didn't come back even after flashing with the custom rom (LeeDroid)

I have HTC Desire GSM running LeeDroid 2.3c but I think it's not related to the handset itself as I saw few more posts relating the same problem but different phones.

Has anyone got any idea how to bring the icon back?

Please copy and paste the screenshot link below as I can't post external links yet :confused:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TeamSpeed:
The only way I have been able to get a 3G connection is to wirelessly tether to my DroidX work phone...

1) Install Z4root on the droid and run it to root the phone

2) Install wifi tether on the droid and set up a wep key and ssid

3) Turn on the wifi tether

4) The table sees this wifi "router" or connection, I set the wep key on that connection, the two units negotiate an IP, and zap, it has 3G through the droid

Not sure if this is helpful, but that is what I had to do in my own situation.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] myndwire:
if it's in the kernel, it should seriously work, but someone has to build it. there's absolutely no reason for this not to work if someone builds it -- it has conceptually worked in linux for years.

exactly man, thanks for stepping up! this will be ultimately useful on many different devices with usb host features, and shouldn't be ridiculously difficult to get going, and gain some real cred with the tablet community, especially now as we're the first with this new tegra2 platform, with over 20-30 new devices coming soon. i'm unsure of how many are wifi-only, but the ability to merely jack in with a 3g/4g usb modem would be ultimately useful to many, and will save a ton of money for folks.
