[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
here is a question:

why have an app/service running in the background, with access to (i.e. enabling) GPS for location, to do what you can do in a second by using the power control widgets?

100% of the time I turn wifi on and off by location, as you want the app to do. except i do it myself, all i have to do is drop my notification bar down and press one button...simple, and nothing running in the background or gps eating away at your battery:confused:

Because I don't

want

to do it myself. When I walk into my office (which has crappy Sprint coverage and a locked down WiFi network) my WiFi shuts off, my roaming kicks over to Verizon, and my ringer drops to vibrate. The moment I walk out of my office my ringer comes back to life, my WiFi restores, and I jump back on the Sprint network.

Yes, I could do that myself with a few clicks... but why bother when a program exists which can do it for me.

*techknowfile's* - Hack the HTC EVO - 3G w/o Sprint EVDO coverage!

To my understanding the above mentioned thread forces the Evo to roam onto a

Verizon 3G tower...what i'm wondering is there possibility in development of them

doing this for roaming to a Verizon 4G tower. Is this something that is being pursued?

Highly impossible?

I love my Evo and consider to be a real POWER USER when it comes to all the

features but not having 4G sucks, especially when it's in a town half the size of

mine in the same state.

I've tried searching for threads about this topic and haven't really turned up.

Verizon is using LTE not wimax so no, it is not possible two different technologies.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NyghtGT:
So in other words someone would have to make a ROM/kernel that supported LTE

and not WiMax in order for me to do this...i.e. NOT PROBABLE.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSjon:
Not to sure on this but I think it would be a Hardware difference not just software.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
unless another carrier starts using the same type of wimax as sprint (that would not be a good decision) or sprint changes to lte or another technology (pleeeease?) it wont happen. hardware.

Hi I'm fairly new to this, but I've already rooted my Rogers Dream and updated to the latest Froyo 2.2 Rom by Cyonogen. I was hoping that someone could lead me in the right direction to overclocking it, if at all possible. I've used the search and found some information, but it seems to be for older roms, or they don't mention rogers dreams, which I assume are a little different.

Simple link to the proper thread where I can find the info, and I'm sure I could figure it out. Thanks!

I just activated my girlfriend's phone and immediately it prompted for update, so I did. To my surprise it was not DL09, but instead EA28. So after some google searches I found this:

The site is basically right, they repackaged dl09 with the emergency calling bugfix and pushed it out with a new build number.

I believe I was able to root successfully but when I try to flash ClockwordMod, it doesn't seem to be working. ROM manager says its flashed and has the latest version, but when I boot into recovery it is definitely not ClockwordMod. I cannot do backups or choose a file from SD to install.

When you flash a new ROM it overwrites CWM, so you'll have to re-install it with Odin.

Update broke my phone!

I just saw a screen forcing the update upon my phone. I clicked "OK" but when the EA28 update installed itself on my phone, it locked my phone into a cycle of trying to install it again and again. The baseband version shows S:i500.04 V.EA28, the Build number shows SCH-I500.EA28, but the update keeps trying to install the update. It gives a Prompt to Install-Reboots Phone-Prompt to Install-Reboot Phone... I managed to get it to stop for a little while by scheduling a deferral of the update until tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can keep the update from trying to install?

EA28 broke my phone

I managed to get my phone to stop rebooting every 3 minutes by ending the InnoPath Active Care process and clearing the cache. But when I woke up this morning, the phone was at the emergency recovery screen. It went into a cycle of rebooting that made it as far as media scanner. I got it to stop rebooting by turning ON wifi (I suppose that's because Active Care needs WiFi off to do an OTA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this "Feature" that is rebooting my phone?

[Nook Color General] oscillot:
My Nook doesn't like to stay off... whether plugged in to USB with data, just the wall charger or on battery power, it just likes turning itself back on. Sometimes within just a few minutes, other times it takes several hours.

I'm rooted on the 1.1.0(r2) from the development thread, and this is the single only issue that I have with my device, although it seems to have been happening since day 1 on an unrooted stock 1.0.0, I just thought I was being forgetful and ignored it initially. Other than that I'm really pleased. Has anyone else had this problem or one like it? Not really sure how to troubleshoot it either.

I may be missing something but don't get the feeling that it's a problem with the physical hardware button as I never have any problems with it while the unit is on. The screen never sleeps unexpectedly, nor does it pull up the power menu as though held, either or both of which I might expect if the hardware button was somehow malfunctioning.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to any and all suggestions!

So yesterday i received a cr-48 from google. I about **** myself. Being one of the lucky ones i decided to start a blog that compared my evo and the netbook. What I'm looking for is ideas to do comparisons on. From simple to complex and anything in between. After a day of pretty intense use i haven't been able to find much on the basic side of things that one trumps the other on.

So shoot me ideas on what i could try to make these 2 devices do battle with. Post 2 will be reserved for things covered and things to be covered. I will try to keep up with this as much as possible and post my review and comparison at http://evovscm48.blogspot.com/

I've had an Evo for about 6 months now and i've always loved this phone. However my evo broke and sprint offered to give me an epic 4g, so i said ok. After using it for about 4 days i missed my evo so much. This is why:

Cons:

Ecic doesn't have Android 2.2

Battery lasted about 8 hours on standby ( my evo lasts 28 hours )

Keyboard didn't always register when I hit keys

Screen is smaller

Power button is on the right of the phone so when you hold it in your hand you sometimes hit it with your fingers

Pros:

Screen is LED and looks amazing.

I would give up the LED screen any day for the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
Yes I didn't like the epic either.

Epic user here...

My best friend has an EVO so I actually get a bit of time to compare them side by side... I agree with some of your comments.

Epic has much better support for various kinds of video formats... kind of a minor pro depending on how much you use video on your phone.

Epic is by far faster in anything 3d and in general it has felt smoother in every day use

Epic has Gorilla Glass. It just feels different in your hands and feels a little bit better to "swype" on.

Evo is well built... my epic is not. My screen is loose and it wobbles.

Evo is thinner (no keyboard) ... I hate my physical keyboard

Evo has a much better dev community

I honestly wish neither existed and we just had or a CDMA version of the SGS i-9000, or cdma Nexus S.

The Galaxy S hardware is slick and when it doesn't have a physical keyboard it's a really sweet profile. I really think a CDMA Nexus S would bridge the gap between the EVO and Epic and be a truly great phone for Sprint... too bad, so sad
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
Duh !!! frhdjd !
[EVO 4G General] speedy0339:
I went back to the sprint store and changed it back out for an evo.

I also agree with you snowmanwithahat.

The epic seems faster even though it has 2.1 and the browser seems faster too, but it doesnt have flash and when loading a site with no flash, the evo and the epic load at the same time.

The evo feels better in your hand and the battery lasts alot longer
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
I had an Epic as a loaner while my Evo was being sent to HTC for repairs, and I hated the Epic. It's ONE pro, was that the screen was nice (but even that was a con when red or orange were on the screen and looked overly boosted).

Things I hated:

Going back to 2.1

GPS took forever to lock on

It locked up pretty regularly for a few seconds for no reason at all

I had less bars

The whole top of it felt wobbly, like the physical keyboard was trying to slide out.

It didn't play files through Rockplayer as well as the Evo does.

I love the looks of the Nexus S, and without Touchwiz, it's probably a whole different phone, but overall, my opinion of Samsung phones is still pretty low.

[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Has anyone noticed that the Epic is WAY faster, even with 2.1 than our Evos running 2.3?

My brother has an Epic and the UI and browser is buttery-smooth. I wonder if that is because it uses hardware graphics acceleration in the UI, or because the CPU is so much better?

Either way, it's almost painful to use my Evo after using his epic :(
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Android isn't fully HW accelerated but parts of it are. The Epic's GPU is significantly faster. For reference:

the n1 has the same GPU as the EVO and the Nexus S has the same GPU as the Epic.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
If the GUI isn't really hardware (GPU) accelerated, then what difference does it make? Did Samsung add some sort of GPU support to the GUI?
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
The processor is supposed to be better. Samasung is always at the top in hardware but always at the bottom in software. HTC is just perfect

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Like I said, parts of Android are indeed HW accelerated and I'm not talking about Honeycomb. An Android team developer mentioned this a while back, although parts = not a lot. And I do think that Samsung added some things too, I remember reading about the browser being HW accelerated.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Well. Lots of things. You don't get the official update. This is BIG. In evo forums, some use sense(based on OTA'S) and some use cm7. Also, if you wanna talk about only the people that root their phones, evo has A CRAP LOAD more development going. Its ridiculous.
