Can just call t-mobile say its an old phone and going out of the country and need unlock code. Dont even need an account with them they ask for a number and give you the code. free
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_fosi:
Totally not true.

I tried that route when I bought my Touch Pro II and they flat-out refused to give me a code unless I had been a paying customer for 90 days. I went round and round with the guy on the phone for an hour, talking to two supervisors and they wouldn't budge.

If you aren't a 90+day customer, TMo WILL NOT give you a code.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
So I've had the EVO for about 6 months now and I really like the functionality it provides. But, I've been finding lately the the maintenance the phone requires actually takes up more time than I save by employing said functionality. I've wavered on this for a few months now but I think I'm going to "downgrade" my phone to something smaller and simpler....something to simplify my life. For those that are wondering, here are the reasons I'm done with the EVO (or similar smartphones).

Battery life

Bad signal strength

Size

Does everything okay but few things great

Crashes, hangs, other random issues (like for example, I woke up this morning and my phone was 10 minutes behind on time)

I don't want to get in a debate about the merits of the EVO vs. other phones. The EVO is one of the best phones I've had, I just think I need to simplify this portion of my life. So, here is what I would like out of a new phone.

Small, small small

Keyboard is optional

Works on Sprint

Touchscreen optional

Full web browsing in a pinch

GPS Navigation is a must

A camera would be nice but not necessary

Facebook would be nice but not necessary

Pandora would be nice but not necessary

Cheaper than the EVO

Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
Why would you ask an EVO forum to get a good review of OTHER phones. it's an EVO forum. we're a bit biased.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh995:
I would suggest a Blackberry Curve 3G. Or any other Blackberry model for that fact.

I'm considering switching to that. I came from a Blackberry to the evo. Blackberry phones are great phones. Reliable, huge user base so a lot of people to help if you have a problem. Battery life is amazing too. The apps are getting better too. More choices.

I've been seeing Evo's sell on ebay for about 300 bucks or so, and I've seen BB Curve 3G's selling new for 250 so that's what I'm thinking about doing. I miss blackberry big time.

To the person above me: I had no problem suggesting a phone...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
I assume you are ruling out Android as a whole, so I would also go with a blackberry as the next best thing. However, coming from one to an Android device (the EVO's is my third) I will never go back to the Blackberry.

Internet just sucks in comparison, and you will likely have to pay extra for navigation and it won't be as good as Google's.

No other option in my opinion. You could try a pre, but I wouldn't.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I have a Blackberry Curve (the newer one w/out trackball, thank god) for work and the one thing I like about it is that the battery lasts for days. That and everyone has them so BBM is nice. It's also small and really light.

However it is slooooooooooow compared to the Evo, but if you're okay with that, seems like it would fit the bill.

There's also a new full keyboard flip Blackberry for Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigjim1488:
Probably BB. Simple and it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainWind:
Battery life can be fixed. I can easily run an entire day on a single charge after installing setcpu, new rom, new kernel.

Signal strength isn't something I've noticed specific to the EVO. Have you talked to other people on your network with different devices?

Size, yeah, you either like big phone or you don't. I love big phones, but a lot of people think it's just way too large.

Not sure what you mean by only a few things great. It's highly customizable and fast. Not really sure what you can't do with it that you want.

Crashes.. I'd suggest custom rom, new radios, new kernel. Play around with it. Myn's 2.2 and MikFroyo 4.4 are awesome ROMs. Fast and stable for me, and a lot of people. The time thing is weird. Normally the clock doesn't update until you actually interact with the phone. Could be a different issue though.

I think a number of your complaints can be fixed with the right customization. Don't ditch a phone over issues you can fix IMO. But then again you want to "simplify" things, which leads me to believe you aren't really the kind of person who enjoy tinkering with your phone. Androids really shine when you mod them. Androids for modders, iPhones for people who just want a phone that works.

If you aren't willing, or can't, fix the problems then definitely go with a Black Berry. There are 3 phones that are awesome: iPhone, Android, BlackBerry.

Go with the cheapest blackberry Sprint is willing to offer you. It'll do what you want. They're very reliable devices, they just lack the wide range of customization you find on iPhone and Android devices, but that's because they're designed with businesses in mind. I doubt you'd be able to find a modern phone that lacks the features you want. The only thing I'm not totally sure on is pandora.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
Well of course you are :-) I guess I figured that since this is the phone forum where I have spent the most of my time, it seemed like a good place.

I had the Palm Pre before and to be honest, there are several things (Exchange integration, multitasking, settings management) that I really miss from the Pre. That being said, the EVO obviously is much faster and does a lot more on the whole. However, I have been thinking about moving to the Pixi.

Blackberry is a good option as well. Honestly I'm open to a non-qwerty non-touch phone if it has GPS navigation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
I've gone that route. I've run 3 or 4 different ROMS under different kernels, and every one has it's own problem. At one point under Cyanogen I was getting 2 days battery, now inexplicably I don't get more than 10 under light use. I'm tired of having to troubleshoot problems like this. Or the fact that I woke up 10 minutes late today because my phone's time was off. Or the fact that about once every other week my Exchange account just decides to delete itself from my phone. It seems like to get what I want out of this phone, I need to spend all this time tinkering with new ROMS, new kernels, etc etc and like I said, maybe if I did more than I already have then I could get what I want out of this phone. But I don't want to spend several hours a week maintaining my phone. The EVO has huge potential and the functionality it can provide is impressive. But to me the trade off is not worth it in my life right now.

On a more philosophical note, I feel that we're in an awkward phase of smartphone development (and technology development in general). There has been a very large concentration on increasing features and functionality, but at the expense of reliability and stability. I'm waiting for us to hit a functionality/speed plateau so more work goes into integrating these features intelligently and intuitively, and making these devices rock-solid stable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownhornet:
Id suggest either the BB Bold or the Iphone 4. I dont like blackberries but the bold is pretty nice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
Honestly none of those are relevant to the EVO anymore except for the size.

1. I am running Myn's Rom Stock Kernel(#15), and several Co-workers are running unrooted stock with the 3.70 OTA (Kernel #15). I get 24 hours out of a charge easily, and they are averaging 17hours. I run with GPS, mobile data, background data all on, beautiful widgets weather widget syncing every 30 minutes.

2. Signal strength is going to be poor regardless of the phone really, if your on sprint and your signal is bad with the EVO its going to be bad with other phones. I have awesome signal everywhere i go with my EVO, no dropped calls ect..

3. Size is the only thing you can argue against the EVO vs other phones, I don't feel the size is an issue at all, but thats a personal preference.

4. My EVO has been able to do everything i need it to do perfectly with no hiccups.

5. Maybe you should look at everything you've done to your phone, mine has never hung, or crashed, and the time is always spot on.

People expect everything to be perfect, but not even a laptop is perfect without a few tweaks, just like the EVO, clean up the bloat, manage your programs, and you will be fine.

Out of all your reasons for ditching the EVO, the only one i can see as the real excuse is the size, and for that maybe you should take a peek at the EVO Shift 4G, otherwise your looking for a blackberry, and they are just extremely slow when performing tasks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mufc1991:
this thread is funny.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
For you. Not relevant for you. Go look at all the people complaining about (insert one of 1000 problems here) throughout these forums. Do you think others are just making these things up?

I'm glad for you. I was there too, for a few weeks. Then all of a sudden my phone would refuse to sleep. Yes I've looked into it. Going back to stock ROM fixed it, but then the battery life wasn't as good as it could be with other ROMs. And I had decreased functionality.

I should have been more precise. I almost never drop a call, and call quality is....acceptable. But when I'm at home with 1 bar (out of 4 on Cyanogen) and 3 bars of WiFi and it takes 30 seconds to load a simple webpage (or it times out)....it's unacceptable. Again, this is ROM and kernel dependent.

Size is usually OK for me, it bugs me once in awhile but really, I figure that a reduction in features automatically buys me a smaller device.

I'm glad for you. There are many, including myself, that wish I could say the same.

I've gone back to stock several times and started over. But then the battery life is horrible and it doesn't have features that I like from other ROMs.

I said I wasn't getting into a debate but I guess here I am. I love...love the functionality of the EVO much of the time. Being able to push one button and say "Navigate to Starbucks" and it just does it is badass. But when simple things like battery life, web browsing, time, Exchange sync......aren't up to par, it's hard to overlook them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
So anyways, different strokes for different folks right? If everyone had the same phone that would be boring.

I might like the iPhone 4 but refuse to pay the AT&T Premium.

I'm actually looking at the Blackberry Pearl now. I think it has most of the stuff I want. And it's small as crap and cheap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh995:
So far the consensus is Blackberry. By the way, I stopped at a sprint store while I was shopping earlier, and I looked at the Blackberry style. The flip phone Blackberry. It did have sprint navigation, so I would assume other newer model Blackberry's would too

I wasn't fond of the idea of a flip phone Blackberry, but after playing with it, I sorta liked it. It had a real quality feel, the new Blackberry 6 os is fast.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
Thanks. It's actually my plan today to go by the Sprint store and check out the Style.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Sounds to me like Android is right for you but the Evo isn't. Try a smaller Android phone with an LED screen that uses up less battery (Epic comes to mind). Both Epic and Evo Shift have physical keyboards. Also, if you root it, just go with the a stock rooted rom so you don't have to worry about the instabilities of using what any particular dev feels is "the best" rom. That will eliminate the time you have to invest in your phone, and you won't have to deal with a BB that can't browse the simplest webpage or can't navigate it's way out of a paper bag.

My $0.02.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
The signal bar at the top on cyanogen roms isn't your actual "cdma/cell signal strength" it's your 3g signal strength I believe...

and I highly urge you to reconsider leaving android for anything other than an iphone 4... blackberry and palm really don't have anything to offer that android or ios don't. You could try a windows phone when/if one comes out for sprint...

Please help! i tried searching for this, but can't seem to find a solution...

I currently have FROYO.UVJK2 with Kernel version of 2.6.32.9

in trying to load the Nero v5, i went to ROM manager and got the latest ClockworkMod Recovery to 2.5.1.2.

After this update, i push the reboot into Recovery. however, instead of going in to the ClockworkMod Recovery menu after reboot, it keeps just hanging on the Vibrant screen.

I tried to do the ClockworkMod manually with no success either, it just hangs on vibrant screen. -,-;

help!

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Also: i tried older clockworkmod recovery files with no success either. When every i try to manually get into the Recovery, the "vibrant" either just hangs or just keeps restarting. I have to do a battery pull to be able to get past the hanging vibrant stage.

Hello

My dilemma is the following

I currently have Android via Nand and its setup as I like it, but more importantly its setup how my little one likes it. Its got loads of games on it that she plays and was one of the main reasons for switching to Android.

Now I have got a Windows license key and am all ready to go to WP7 but wonder if its the right move.

With current troubles with WP7 I'm reading and the need for kids games should I stay on Android or move to WP7?

Don't really want to go dual boot.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
Why don't you want to dual boot? Then you can try out wp7 and still have android on your phone. I'm dual-booting and it works great... both OS's are smooth and fast. Getting decent battery life with wp7 and great battery life with android (3-6ma on standby... sometimes as low as 2ma). That's what makes the HD2 special.... you can boot multiple OS's on it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] madmillsy:
You have some great points, perhaps I should rethink.

Does anyone else have experience of dual booting both.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
If you want games than WP7 is your choice for sure. The selection may be not that great in numbers and there is no Angry Birds yet, but the quality is overwhelming. I'm playing The Harvest for 3 days now and still can't believe this is a mobile game :cool:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mobi:
I took WP7 for a spin for 4 days and I absolutely loved it. Smooth as silk after the initial install and activation. Had a few minor problems like the phone locking after a sync with Zune but this was known and I belifve that there is a fix available.

So, that was really the good side. My take on it is that there are relatively few (few in comparison to other OS) apps. My biggest concern was tethering while being away on a business trip but I could not find a way to do it.

So although I went back to Android, all in all I think WP7 is great. It just needs time to mature in terms of the home brew offerings and Marketplace apps.

Good luck.

I absolutely loved Android, but after using wp7 since it was out I can't use Android again, I will switch back but then flash wp7 before the day was over.
