[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
He's probably talking about the UI. And he's right. Using a iPhone 4 and Android phone is night and day in terms of smoothness. Look at the videos of the Atrix or other dual core Android phones, the UI is still choppy. Amazing really. It's obviously not the lack of hardware, it's Android's lack HW acceleration. I do agree that the browser is faster, not in terms of downloading (but if the Android is anything like Chrome, it'll probably render faster), but in JS performance. Download speed is a wash, depends on carrier and location. Either way, hate it or love it, Apple's integrated approach offers a much more better overall experience.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It is, its simple and it works and looks tremendous but for those that like options it's a toy that's old and does nothing special anymore.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
droid is a phone line fore motorola, thats like calling all mp3 players ipod's which they clearly or not, or calling all tablets ipads

personally i could care less if the iphone comes to sprint, if it helps improve their product, doesn't interfere with my usage or bill go for it, whats good for sprint is good for us. secondly, i could care less if iphone 5,6,7,8,9,10 come to sprint, right now i am in the android aftermarket scene and loving it. and for the most part we are all power users or above and so we operate outside of the normal parameters of the average consumer, thus we are more critical of features/specs compared to the average "joe"
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Very detailed response.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I think we don't have to go into details in any other threads about iPhone vs Android. We all know what each can't and can do.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
Bingo.

It's a common misconception on most web forums that changing your ESN is always illegal. Simply not true. The law only mentions cloning phones for the purpose of stealing service. To wit, United States Code Section 1029(a) of title 18:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00001029----000-.html

Note "intent to defraud" is written in nearly every paragraph. If you aren't intending to defraud (e.g. using your own account, for your own purposes,) then it's not illegal.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
If you take a Moment/Hero/Transform/Optimus's ESN and clone it to a EVO in order to avoid the premium data fee, would that be considered an intent to defraud?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Obviously as the fee is mandatory with the device you have cloned to.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Well could Sprint argue that the iPhone is considered a premium data device? That's why I brought it up.

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
lol wasn't even talking about the browser. Was talking about the overal UI, and most of the common apps (pictures, video recording, etc..)
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
well yea, but if you take an evo ESN and clone it onto an iphone, then you most likely won't get in trouble for it (assuming that the iphone is on verizon/sprint).
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
agreed, i think sprint should get it or at least open their networks to verizon devices.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
If we still can't do data and calling at the same time like ATT,why would u want it?
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
cmon seriously, when have you ever gone:

"hey let me google that and get back to you in 5 minutes" and then put the person on hold while you googled something?

The whole data and calling thing is pointless, never have i ever wanted to use the internet while i was talking to someone.
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
Iphone=fail and gay. Had all 4 versions. Stupid. Also thanks for whoever said ...its like calling all mp3 ipods.... They say droid like its something better then what you own. Since we clearly own evos, we brag about it being "THE IPHONE KILLER", so then again, why the hell would iphone come to sprint. Why make sprint gay. Dont see the concept I have never had a problm with them. Which is good. Also never have they screwed me over on bills. Been with them for 7 years. Androids the best thing thats happened, and having the iphone will kill the rep. Not only is it overrated, but they are almost impossible to jailbreak now. Tje new expolit from geohot's limerain cant even touch the new 4.2.1 software. Let alone, redsnows jb can only tether jb it. Since it was legalized, the new firmware updates forbid you to jb. And since theres plans ffor I os 5 after 4.4, no jbs will be allowed anymore, with androids, rooting will never be a provlem. So hre again. Reasons why they suck. Never want another one again. Im happy with my evo. Best thing ive ever purchased. So point blank, bar none, sprint should and possibly will never grab the iphone.
[EVO 4G General] nvius:
whoops, forgot to quote.
[EVO 4G General] nvius:
Although I agree with your stance in that given situation, what about when you are tethering to your phone and you receive a phone call? That can happen quite frequently based on how often/long you tether.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
The reason the $10 fee is charged is because Sprint themselves pays Clearwire for every phone that can access that data. Until Sprint can get away from that, the fee will stay.
[EVO 4G General] oddlou:
Actually, the term droid is a Verizon branding for its Android phones, not a motorola branding. HTC makes the Droid Incredible. Also, the Atrix, made by Moto for AT&T isn't a Droid.
[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
Edit: Spoke too soon. Sprint is ****ing themselves in the ass with this new move.
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
actually there is a $10/month premium data charge for ALL smartphones starting the 30th (new customer). so i guess the charge was really for "premium data" all along.

maybe this is leading up to something about the announcement from spring on the 7th..

This makes a whole lot of sense. Oh wait, it absolutely doesn't. When you got to sleep at night do you also pray that Steve Jobs dies of his cancer?
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
There is no way Sprint will be getting the first "4G" iPhone before Verizon or ATT. They would have to pay mega buck$ for that, and I am sure ATT or Verizon could offer more money to have that first, before Sprint or T-Mobile could.

And Apple is super strict, I don't expect a different iPhone on different carriers just yet, this is not Android. Apple will release the exact same iPhone to each carrier that sells them, only difference being the radios that handle the actual service for each carrier.

Come this Summer, there will be an iPhone5, and will be the exact same phone on both Verizon and ATT, and we may just possibly see either Sprint or T-Mobile also get the rights to it, but I doubt it, that will probably be the iPhone6 or iPhone7 when all four U.S. carriers are selling it.
[EVO 4G General] deiong:
i hope they get the iphone 4 soon. im pretty tired of the evo, its slow and wonkey.. i wish they had a c++ sdk, so the apps wouldn't have to run via java's vm.. apps on the 3gs that have apps on the evo run way slower then the 3gs. what really boils my hide is that android launches apps in the background all freggin day long for no reason at all. i could sorta understand if they claimed its for apps that rely on the net to get info, alerts, but you could write a simple hello world app and put it on the phone and it will launch that throughout the day as well. i cant imagine any remotely intelligent idea as to why it would be a good idea to do this.. bundle this with the fact that were never going to see updates, sprint used to be good about updates when i had the mogul way back when but with every new phone you get less and less updates, and since evo got froyoo, well never see 2.4 or 3.0 . i cant believe that a phone 6 months old is not powerful enough to run a os that is released 6 months later... i know i will be getting a verizons iphone and hack it to switch the esn to clone my evo's so i can run the phone on sprint, ..

just my thoughts...

i tried hard to like the android. its a good phone for the avg person, but anyone wanting power wont like it much.
[EVO 4G General] boiker:
While you are entitled to your opinion, the Evo is a fairly snappy phone. To me, it's slower in UI/graphical functions than the Epic, iPhone, and other phones which take advantage of newer/faster GPUs.

multitasking. most of apps are not actively "running", they're standby/pre-fetched. (someone want to correct/elaborate?)

It's been updated quite a bit compared to the vast majority of android phones.

Who said it isn't? Gingerbread will run fine. Honeycomb is designed for tablets, i thought.

Android isn't a phone, it's an OS. If the Evo wasn't your cup of tea, perhaps one of the other tens of Android OS phones would be?
[EVO 4G General] runningwarrior08:
I know it is your opinion, but not once have I had any of my apps that I myself developed open in the background without me telling it to. Nor do I believe Sprint is bad with updates, especially since we got Froyo so fast. Again my opinion but I bet the Evo will get gingerbread and most likely the next operating system, unless an EVO 2 comes out.

Also I believe the opposite of the power user statement. I believe Android is for a power user with all of the different options and abilities of the OS while iOS is a more simple yet more elegant and refined OS.

Those are my thoughts, not trying to start any flame war just putting my opinion against yours.
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
point blank, sprint doesnt need nor want the iphone. so leave it at that. iPhone is dumb.
[EVO 4G General] typeadam:
Not that anyone really gives a crap but if the iPhone came to Sprint, I'd be first in line. Not because the iPhone is something that I'm just drooling over but because I love these devices! I'm a phone junkie. I rarely keep my phone for more than a year. In fact, if you look at the banner in my sig, none of the smart phones have been w/ me for 12 months. I've gone through PalmOS, WinMo, Android... Next step is iOS because I've never had one and just want to own one! Hell, if a hot WP7 phone drops, you bet your rear I'd get it! (And yes, I still plan on owning a BlackBerry at some point, too.)

Though I have to admit, the Android is BY FAR my favorite device and I see myself always coming back to it down the line. :D

FWIW, having all this technology and all these possibilities just makes it all the better...
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Clearly you dont, never have and never will EVER own a business with your mindset. You act like Sprint is rich, has the most customers or doesnt need money. The iphone would improve Sprints revenue in EVERY way. People just talk to hear themselves do so sometimes.
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
I don't care what you have to say. In fact, they have a fairly good amount of people. Decent money. I don't care about that. Thing I care about is having to deal with the stupid cop out that the iPhone has. Honestly. Never gave a **** about th iPhone. Had ATT and never liked them either. Now listen, if they do, tell you what, ill buy one and send it to you broken. Sound like a good plan ?

Lol way to bump the thread
[EVO 4G General] dustinmatthews87:
It only took a month to come up with that one?
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
iPhone = the demise of Sprint. Why? Let's see:

1) Apple is known to have the most expensive partnerships with carriers, meaning carriers lose more money on the devices which in turn require higher plan/data fees to subsidize that. This translates in complete dependency, something Sprint doesn't need.

2) The tremendous influx of people into Sprint's relatively small infrastructure not only over-saturate the networks, but would lead to data caps to fund upcoming development.

3) In turn Sprint would grow in customers, but also in prices. Thus, removing the competitive pricing, and with that, Sprint's main life line. Sprint is inferior in coverage, quality, now speed, and devices than the competition. If it approaches anywhere near Verizon and ATT's pricing, that's the end of it.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Where'd you copy n paste that from?

[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
I really see no thinking and knowledgeable person wanting to run IOS vs. Android. Aside from pretty apps, IOS has nothing on android.
[EVO 4G General] KikiKamKam:
CHECK IT. I used to work for AT&T. IMHO, do you really want a phone that Apple refuses to take ownership of and fix? A bumper is not my idea of a credible way to keep the antennae from going out while holding it the "RIGHT WAY".

On a side note, the iPhone 4 is only capable of 3G signal and AT&T has a way to go on 4G service. Are you reallly willing to sacrifice WiMAX and 4G just for a NAME BRAND phone? I wont. As far as the UI, I root my EVO, and overclock differnet kernels, getting higher bench results than the iPhone, and the UI on some of the ROMS which are FREE is ultimately SICK :D
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
Coming from a blackberry i could see this, after having an app drawer, notification widgets, custom roms kernels and themes and sd card access i could never go back to itunes or jailbreak
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
i have no clue, where you get inferior in coverage and quality. Ive had tmobile, att, and sprint. Sprint blows the pants off of all of them. I travel alot, and rarely have signal and call quality issues. Cant say the same with Tmobile or AT&T. We all know VZ has a great network but it boils down to where you need it to work at, and frankly, there are a bunch of places my Sprint phone will get a signal where friends and coworkers VZ phones wont get work, or work barely. Im not downing VZ at all im just giving you my stance on it. The only thing with Sprint right now is the lackluster 3G speeds, which im sure will be fixed soon. On top of that, it has been stated nowhere that the Sprint network is near capacity when it comes to handling data.
[EVO 4G General] agentphantom:
especially with the great modders that live here.
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
I really don't get this attitude. Why do you care if Sprint gets the iphone? Do you like all the phones (and OS) currently offered by Sprint?

Sprint will do what it thinks will increase the number of users, and thus revenue and market share.

If the iphone came, I'd probably get it for my daughter.

Hey guys need help. I have a nook running 1.01 and used autonooter the owner of this nook had used the wrong email address upon initial setup and of course could not purchase any books from bn store.

I did a deregister and erase and no option was given afterwards to register the device.

So I did the 8 failed boot loads to get the nook back to factory. It still won't bring up the wizard to register the device.

Did the 8 failed boot loads again and same story.

What else can I do?

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shvyue:
I designed and made this battery icon for x10. It can tell you your battery status as accurate as 1% but it needs some brain work. You've to calculate the percentage by yourself. It's a bit complicated but might save your money for paying brain training on a DSi =)

Wish you like.

ATTENTION: Other people might not understand your phone battery status. This may cause a delayed battery charging =)

Wallpaper credit to: The Art of Currie.

Installation:

Make sure your phone is rooted and have busybox installed. Make sure you have ADB on your PC and relevant X10 drivers installed (Sorry I don't know mac system). Here is a example for installation using adb.exe.

1.Download the framework-res.apk file from the MU link.

2.Copy framework-res.apk to to your X10's /sdcard

3.Connect your X10 to a PC, make sure USB debugging is enabled. Run "cmd"

4.Locate your adb.exe.

-adb shell

-su (make sure you give super user permissions (su) on your x10 side)

-mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

-dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk

5.Your phone will restart and that's it.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shvyue:
This work is done by using adobe photoshop CS4. Yes you're right it's 38*38 pixel. I got the battery frame from the original stock icon and then calculated the squares needed inside frame on pixels. Therefore no resize involved.

Here's one with dark status bar. I've modified other icons to fit the dark bar as well. It's for the .504 version but I've no chance to test it. If you want just try it.

-backup your original framework-res.apk

-install xrecovery

-do the modification

If failed, you can restore your original one using xrecovery.

2- reboot your phone and enter to clockworkmod by holding the power key on the phone start

3-choose boot AD SD

4-go to install zip from sdcard

5-choose zip from sdcard

6-after choosing the file choose yes

after finishing the update restart your phone, YOHOOOO arabic is enabled now.

Update: if you have FC on the browser use Dolphin browser HD from the market it worked for me.

I noticed Astro does have a backup option, but read somewhere that while it does backup your apps, they are not recognized by the market app when reinstalled. So no updates.

Is there a way to update as much of everything (settings, apps, etc) where it will come back as it was and work fully as intended on an unrooted 2.1 phone?
