Definitely agree with you that Sprint needs a world phone!

I have been a long time Sprint customer (9 years) and although they have coverage in some countries, so far it has been dismal! I just got back from England and it was frustrating not being able to use my EVO but instead had to use my back up Nokia with a sim card slot.

I was just at Best Buy today inquiring if the Verizon Thunderbolt is a world phone (this is the only phone that is similar to the EVO that I am willing to switch to). Won’t know for a few more days when the demos hit the store. I am seriously considering switching carriers, it’s just hard to find a phone that is similar to my EVO! Also I have been quite frustrated with the lack of 4G in doors! I was just at Corner Bakery this morning and I was streaming the Chelsea / Liverpool game with my evo to my Elocity Android tablet and 4G coverage was just horrible inside. I walk outside and bam, 3 4G bars.

I would look at the Verizon Droid pro or Droid 2 (?, not sure if I have those model numbers correct) but I can’t stand motoblur. I also don’t like the fact that those are not 4G as I tether to my tablet and laptop on a regular basis and I love the 4G speed over 3G for streaming.

I leave for the Philippines in 2 weeks and yet again I will need to use my Nokia. I tried my Evo last time while in the Philippines and it didn’t work their either. I don’t like T-Mobile or AT&T due to the lack of unlimited data (T Mobile has a 5 Gig cap on thier unlimited data before they throttle you) and these would be the most logical choices since they use a sim card.

Other countries I have had a lack of coverage: Brazil, Peru, Hong Kong, India and a few others)

If anyone has any suggestions, I am definitely open to hearing them.
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
I've also been a long time sprint user 7 years. Look at the HTC inspire 4g from ATT. It's almost just like the EVO. Bad battery. 1250 compared to EVO 1500. It hasn't come out yet. If sprint comes out with a Android world phone just like the EVO or better that would be my new phone.

The EVO you wish you had
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokeemonn:
So I am trying to transfer NOVA to my phone via my USB from my PC and it keeps saying the drive is full but it says I have 3.xx GB available and 290mb internal storage. I have no idea why, any help would be appreciated! TIA
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsamxoxo:
When I'm connected to wifi on my pc via my phone's tethering abilities, I find myself losing connection on pc while it works fine on the phone. The sleep policy is already set to never and I'm using the froyo tethering ap (built in) and not a third party apk. any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I'm running pheonix rising 4.5 with whatever kernel it comes with. Thanks in advanced.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ndhanji:
Okay, here's the deal...

I've searched everywhere for every possible way to get around this and it still doesn't work.

I'm on a Mac (OS X 10.6). It says my phone is rooted (used z4root), then I downloaded busybox, and ROM Manager and Astro. i did the flash for clockworkmod through ROM manager, said everything was good. I try to go into recovery mode, reinstall packages, then I get the error "failed to verify whole-file" type thing. my recovery mode is 3e, and it's blue but from what i've been reading, it should be green? I'm trying to make it green!

I just got my captivate i896/i897 a couple days ago, so I wont mind if i need to restore it (i accidentally did that today but it still ended up being rooted when I finished). I'm brand new to all of this, the most experience i've had with this is..jailbreaking an iphone 4 lol. Any help would be much appreciated! All I want to do is make my phone faster (overclock it) and set a nice theme on it. This is so confusing and I'm starting to get so frustrated with it, close to the point where i'd throw it against a wall...legit. Please help!!
[EVO 4G General] LordDavon:
Okay, so I rooted my phone and updated to the latest SprintLovers ROM. It's nice but, I would like a nice non-senseui ROM. Either that, or a FAST senseui ROM. I think it just slows down my phone. I purchased ADW Launcher-EX for my rooted Nook and would like to find a ROM that I could possibly use that on. The best solution would be a ROM that maybe has sense but allows it to be deselected. With most sense based ROMs, sense stays running in the background even if you use something else.

Also, I would like to try overclocking my phone. I see some of the kernels in the wiki but, how so I flash? I currently use AR recovery but, I would prefer to use Clockworks for Rom Manager (since it is required). I purchased the license for Rom Manager but, it just errors.

Also, what are other good tools to use. I purchased SetCPU and ROM Manager. Are there other tools for rooted phones that are as important as those two?

Please forgive the noob style questions. I finally decided to root my phone even though I got it the day they were released. I am trying to get a little more life out of it, while I wait for Sprint to releaser the "next best thing".
[EVO 4G General] ibcenu:
IMHO CM7 nighties is by far the best no sense rom

CM6 is a stable release but CM7 (to me) kicks azz --- check it out & enjoy

Tools... everybody has what they like best. I can say as a 2 month (or so) rooted evo owner. Trial and error is the best way to learn. After that, everything you read starts to make sense!

you can always find help in the forums if somthing goes wrong
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
I personally like the Azreal X 4.0 rom which is a sprint like sense rom. and the SBC kernel. Which allows for over clocking. Look at my signature and search in xda for download.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
MIUI is my favorite AOSP ROM. It's got the performance of CM, without the blandness.
[EVO 4G General] LordDavon:
I was watching the video on that one. Will it take any kernel or do you have to use the one in the ROM?
[EVO 4G General] LordDavon:
I found the kernel but there is a HAVS and non-HAVS version. What is that?

I also found a ROM called Warm TwoPointTwo. Have you tried that one? It looks rather popular.
[EVO 4G General] LordDavon:
What other tools are there? Is there anything like ROM Manager that doesn't require CW?
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
It requires AOSP kernels, like any AOSP ROM. The one that it comes with is pretty damn good though, I have found no reason to use any other one. It's stable, I have had ZERO reboots, and fast as hell. 1700+ quadrant scores with no overclocking.
[EVO 4G General] LordDavon:
I went to the download like and they said something about the cameras. Are they working in 1.2.4?
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
I'm on 1.1.28 and my camera works fine. I have never had any camera issues with any of the builds that I've tried. I have an older 003 evo though, I'm not sure about 004s.
[EVO 4G General] bama78792000:
I've tried Cm7 and 6 and to me 6 is quicker and more stable. Paired with savaged kernel v5 and you can't go wrong
[EVO 4G General] LordDavon:
That's okay. I have 002.
[EVO 4G General] LordDavon:
I tried it. My quadrant score was only 1100 with it. I noticed that the kernel was overclocked in it but, setcpu was set to 1Ghz from my titanium backup. Maybe that's why. I didn't like the iPhone look-and-feel of it though. I went to warm twopoint and like it. I may play around with this one for a while.

Just read through the thread, the pros and cons are laid out by numerous people. As for flashing instructions, just choose "choose zip from sd" locate the kernel, and flash over your current OS. DO NOT WIPE DATA! Just flash and done!

I keep finding Dialer running on my 101. How do I remove it entirely and what other apps can I remove?

Sent from my A101IT using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
First of all your device must done permanent rooted.

I had used this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930197

After rooted you can move/remove these apps from /system/app to /sdcard/backup via Root Explorer app.

- DemoMode.apk

- OnlineRegistration.apk

- Protips.apk

- QuickSearchBox.apk

- StartupWizard.apk

- TelephonyProvider.apk

- Phone.apk <-- when you move/remove this app an error message will show as force close, reboot your device.

Do it with your own risk.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
Yeah these can go. There is another one the firmware upgrade thing I don't have access to my device just now but I suspect it can go too.

And again with the TelephonyProvider.apk and Phone.apk. I can't understand why people want to remove them.

It's not because the Archos is not a phone that they are not needed to support the Android operating system and all the apps that you are going to be install.

TelephonyProvider.apk is only 49k and probably does contain no real functionality only entrypoints for other apps that expect the functionality to be there.

Phone.apk contains the complete contacts management and probably also some empty entrypoints that other applications expect.

So even IF you could remove them it would cripple about 50% of all apps you could install via the market.
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
I'm noticing this is a real bugbear for you!

I think people initially started asking about this because of this thread on the Nook forum. It was suggested that removing these would shut off the cell standby service, and improve battery life ... dramatically.

Have to say, I'm using Uruk 0.5, which has Telephony.apk and phone.apk removed, and have not had any problems installing any apps, using contacts etc.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
Good for you did you read the thread? on page 14 ther are some interesting observations about removing those files. It does not affect battery life. But I guess impression are everything. Anyway I still suspect people are going to run into trouble by removing these things.
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
;) have to say, no I didn't read much of that thread! Doubt it's something I would have bothered removing myself, but thought I'd mention that the setup I'm using hd them removed and it didn't seem to be causing any problems.

Though, if I do get odd problems with contacts, apps not working properly, I'll know what to check first, won't I:)
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
After removed TelephonyProvider.apk and Phone.apk I have not found any problem about Market app download. Contact app still work fine and can sync with Google contact. :D
[Gen8 General] bthoven:
I can't see noticeable battery saving by removing both phone.apk and telephoneprovider.apk; but agree removing them don't have any negative effects so far ;)
[General Topics] devilisht2003:
So what's everyones thoughts about the Atrix? Better to keep my Captivate and buy a galaxy tab or get the Atrix and laptop dock? Would like too have a larger screen at times but don't really want a full on laptop. My only thought is having full internet on the laptop dock because I don't really wasn't to pay for a second data plan on a tablet.
[General Topics] FLAC Vest:
I would say to keep the phone and just wait for the next good tablet to come out; you already have a good phone.

The differences between the Atrix and Galaxy S phone is there but I don't think it is worth 500 and +25 a month for contract.

You can find the ruu in the same post that you downloaded that from. It should have given you instructions on exactly what to do when it failed as well. You just download it and run it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
When in the bootloader select fastboot, it should then change from hboot in blue to fastboot usb in red. Once you see that it should recognize your phone.

It looks like something was interfering with it talking to your phone, pdanet and apps like that can cause it but usually it's easier to just try with a different computer.

[Xoom General] legato89:
Looks like you can't even use wifi without paying for a month of data from Verizon.
[Xoom General] calin75:
Greedy corporations putting their shareholders above their customers. I was planning on getting this device but I can't justify spending $800. The same goes to ATT charging $500 for the dock for the atrix. Shame!!!
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
Terrible.

I was planning on getting a Xoom, but now I'm going to wait and see if T-Mo's Honeycomb LG tablet is a better deal... I have a feeling it will be, even with the gimmicky 3D functionality.
[Xoom General] PalmerCurling:
The xoom looks freaking amazing. I wish it weren't so stinking expensive now if someone could port honeycomb to netbooks.... that would be sick.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Was looking forward to selling my iPad and buying this awesome Xoom tablet. Not for $800 I'm not. How can they justify a price this high? I mean its not THAT different hardware wise from the dumpy Viewsonic G-Tablet. It has better specs overall, but not over double the price better.
[Xoom General] KiteMorte:
I was sooooo excited for this, now I am loathing Motorola for having such a poor plan for the pricing of their products.

G-Slate here I come (possibly).
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
Although I'm upset about the pricing, I'm more upset about Verizon requiring a month of cellular data to use wifi. That's just greedy.

That said, to put it in perspective, the Xoom is only nominally more expensive than the equivalent iPad but with better hardware (ffc, Tegra2, higher resolution, etc):

[Xoom General] nashmage:
700 would have been a much smarter move on their part in all honesty...

I will be very interested in seeing how much the wifi version costs and when it even comes out for that matter.

No way will I pay that much.. if they are requiring you to sign up with Verizon you should be getting some nice subsidizing...
[Xoom General] csseale:
Wait....what...huh..you have to pay to use wifi? How can u charge me to use my home wifi. Where does it say that
[Xoom General] legato89:
It looks like the data is month to month, so you aren't signing a contract, meaning no subsidized price. I mean, you could buy it at $799 and pay $20 for 1 month of data to activate wifi, but what if you have to factory reset your device? I bet there will be a hack to unlock wifi in a week anyway...
[Xoom General] legato89:
Directly under the picture of the Xoom.
[Xoom General] nashmage:
It says under the picture that for wifi to be activated you have to sign on for at least a month for a data plan of at least 1gb.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Cheap blow from Verizon....I had this on lock down...now I can't get it even on principle....that hurts
[Xoom General] legato89:
I bet they won't even let you leave the store with it unless you pay for 1 month of data.
[Xoom General] Atlas.rouge:
Yeah, that is some BS. Really. I was going to get this instead of a laptop, because it ran Android and had similar specs to lower/midrange laptops. Now I'm most likely not. Moto is starting to look a lot like Apple, thankfully we still have HTC, who actually gives a crap more or less (but could be faster on updating stuff).

[Xoom General] krushin:
Severely disappointed, motorola just lost a customer, not for just this but forthe recent pricing/billing plans for the Atrix 4g (with its laptop base/require tethering). As for the Xoom, I too can no longer justify buying this device... 1. My principles won't let me 2. Price.

@500-600: Perfect deal given the hardware specs, would lead to large sales (taking customers from the ipad/and ipad2 marked, myself included)

@600: I would say it is a pretty good deal. Although i don't know exact specifics, the price of the hardware prolly runs around the 400-500$ range (even the tegra 2 development kit runs for 250$ minus a screen,R&D, and a few other hardware differences)

@700: A bit pricey, and over priced. Wouldn't have been shocked on this price point since it is basically the unofficial flagship tablet of Android 3.0, and a true "first-generation" android tablet(which understandably comes at a slight premium and early adoption cost)

@800: Completely overpriced, dont care how "new" it is, Tegra 2 has been out for more than a year. Adding insult to injury... required 1 month data plan(which in itself is RIDICULOUS). NO Thank you, Motorola just ruined it, period.

I can only hope it was an intentional leak/doctored photo. Because of this, I thought i would never say this, being a huge open source supporter(and big google supporter), i think i will hold of and get an ipad 2. Knowing Apple, the Ipad 2 will have very similar specs, new features, cheaper price point (and most likely to adopt an even cheaper price point, maybe ~50$ cheaper than current generation?)

Disheartened....

complain on their facebook page.

you won't be alone. a ton of pricing complains on their xoom thread.

I think i've figured it out... moto uses really expensive plastic. Atrix dock is $500. i guess i'm stupid for thinking they could make a wifi only xoom for $500.

[Xoom General] nashmage:
Very interesting I never noticed that..

I am really hoping that it is cheaper as well. I am personally hoping that it is 700 to at least match the price of the Ipad. I would be ecstatic for 600 but do not believe we will be that lucky.

I suppose I will just keep my fingers crossed for 600 and hope the ad is fake.
