from what i understand, it doesnt know what current to supply unless it installs the drivers, the DHD can take up to 1 amp of current so if you didnt install drivers, the usb would just give it the minimum whuch i doubt is enough to even trip the phone into charging mode :)
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
This isn't true USB ports have a limitation of significant less than an amp its like 500ma (.5 of an amp), if a driver was screwing with stuff related to vdd I would be angry and many people would have broken USB devices :P

You don't need drivers basically when you plug it in its trying to install the SD card reader whether its mounted or not just ignore it. It will not affect the charging of the device
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Nope your wrong there, I regularly charge my DHD on a work computer that complains the hardware isn't installed properly as i wont let it install drivers
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedan55:
I hope someone agrees with me here, because i dont want to be paranoid.

when im recording video (720p) and capturing people, when i move the phone around while its moving the recording image gets SO blurry and then i have to leave it on one spot for it focus and stabilize.

is this just me?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppie:
That is normal. It takes a little time to re-autofocus.

Even happens on proper digital cameras.

The only way around it, is to buy a professional camera with an expensive lens, like those they use for recording sports on TV.

[HTC Inspire 4G] darkbluexplorer:
So i log into my news channels and do a search for HTC Inspire just like i have done for the past 2 weeks.. i run across this artical: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/feb/8/kellner-htc-inspire-4g-is-nice-but-no-iphone/ i get done reading it and have to do a double take saying, 'Wahhhhhhh'.. this journalist.. FAILED miserably in his testing of the HTC Inspire. I just had to share this monumental fail with someone else. he talks about the RAM of the phone when compaired to internal memory of the iphone. he also talks about how you cant control the volume with the headset on corded headphones. read the reviews at the end of his artical for a good laugh :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Regardless of whether he was the most expert professional in the field of phone reviews - the article was written with the grammar and structure of a middle school student.

What he actually managed to convey - was how he had no clue about android devices. I don't know what impression you guys got, but this dude must have had all the settings on full blast/5 min sync interval etc. etc... you know, the stuff that all comes switched on that most people logically edit, disengage and customize.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AndreaCristiano:
that just tells you the state of the main stream media
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkbluexplorer:
Well this also showed wheere some people who have nevere beenexposed to android might pick up their phone. I hope the att reps are better equiped for being able to answer questions about android vs iOS than most.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tpbklake:
This is why I don't think anyone will have any trouble walking into an AT&T store on Sunday and walking out with one. Most of the phone using public is unaware of the power of Android phones and AT&T doesn't do a very good job of pushing them either. I think there will be plenty of Inspires to fulfill demand come Sunday.
[HTC Inspire 4G] LSUtigers03:
I stopped reading when he said the Inspire only had 8GB of RAM. He didn't even get the storage right much less calling it RAM. You have 4GB onboard and an 8GB sd card. 4 + 8 still equals 12 right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
Whhaaa? * in minion voice*

I think the guy sure loves his iPhone. I found his review so boring and uninformative that I just had to stop reading.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkbluexplorer:
well the inspire had 768 MB on board RAM for the OS and programs to run in. the 8+4 GB flash is for storage. Atrix has 1 GB of on board RAM which would be nice. BUT coming from the tilt 2 with 128 MB of on board ram for windows (been running android on it) Android still runs decent and is usable so I am looking VERY much forward to getting my hands on this piece of hardware.

Tech Specs from HTC: http://www.htc.com/us/products/inspire-att#tech-specs
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
768? That's more than iPhone 4, correct?

Damn Im siked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkbluexplorer:
iPhone 4 specs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_4#Processor_and_memory

but again you can have the fastest hardware in the world but if the software is not programmed to take advantage of the hardware its crap! one reason apple has done so well is they do a decent job with what hardware they have also they use the WOW factor for sales! and to tell the truth it works! android is learning from this from what i can tell and they are getting there!!

Ok wich kernal do ya think is the best for mikfroyo v4.5?
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Hey XDA Members,

So, my mom washed her EVO today, which broke the glass and screen; all it does it vibrates when you turn it on, but no lights/screen/sound after that, so basically dead.

No warranty w/ sprint - after the AMEX accidental warranty.

Options I've come up with are...

-Buy one on clist for $325

-Buy a new one for $400 - $450

-Cancel a line at 16 months left - $160, and the other 2 lines monthly price would go up.

-Add a forth line + buy new EVO on that

-Buy a blackberry on clist - $140ish

What's your ideas?

Thanks! :)
[EVO 4G General] SSjon:
No warrenty.... What about insurance?
[EVO 4G General] nextohel:
Put it in the dryer...
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
That's what I meant by warranty/insurance. I told her to get it, but didn't want to pay for it, and it's $7 a month, then $100 for a referb phone.
[EVO 4G General] :
If you want something like a blackberry curve you should be able to get one for a lot less than $140! not bad phones if you don't mind a super slow almost unusable web browser. Great physical keyboards (and cleanable trackballs ;) They should be like half that price though!
[EVO 4G General] PedoBearz:
Pay the price.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Yeah, she has one for work, so knows how to use it, but the one at work is a current bb curve w/ sprint, but the 3g doesn't even work.
[EVO 4G General] :
"blackberry curve 8330" 33 new and used on amazon starting at ~$45.

and I was exaggerating a little about the browser, mobile pages and non-javascript sites load fine.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Well if it just vibrates your Mom might still want it.

lol jk, sorry.

Really I would look for a cheap EVO in craigslist, they can be found cheap if it's a heavily used one but still working good.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Found a brand-new epic on craigslist for $300; that's better than the sole EVO on there for $325.
[EVO 4G General] bluestatus:
I would just get another one if you could afford it. 16 months is a long time to go without an Evo. But of course if money is a problem, then black berries really aren't all that bad.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
does she really need the power of an evo????

what about something cheaper.. like a HERO..

yes it sucks.. but if you root it..

put on a good ROM... they have gingerbread!!!

it is a good phone for $100 on craigslist

or a LG Optimus S.. on craigslist..
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Well, she probably will. Chase has a credit card offer....$200 cash back after a first purchase, so signed up for that to buy a new phone and get it for $250, got approved instantly, but takes 2 weeks to get the card by mail. :|
[EVO 4G General] :
Get a $20 phone til then, voice and text, and then appreciate the new phone even more after it can finally be purchased :)
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Thought of this, but then stuck paying $10 extra a month for 4G...not that she used it in the first place. Probably needs the 4.3 inch screen or a slide out keyboard to text...so that's why I was thinking the blackberry, not the hero.
[EVO 4G General] subcypher:
Did you try the rice trick? Put a cup of dry rice into a Ziplock bag. Take the battery out of the phone and place both into the bag. Seal it and leave it for 24 hours. It should pull all the moisture out. Pull it out, put it back together and then charge it.

Edit: Sorry... just read the part about the glass being broken. Well, I'll leave this trick posted here in case someone needs it in the future.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
^^^ it is too late to try to the rice trick.. if you turn on the phone and it beeps at you!

and of course the broken screen :P
[EVO 4G General] pixiedust7976:
How long has she had it? If she had it for less than 30 days, could always call Sprint and add the insurance. You would have to wait like a week or so to put in the claim. Or you could call Sprint anyway and see if they could add the insurance anyway even if it is beyond 30 days. They might work with you. Or call Sprint and see if they have any refurbs for temp then add the insurance so if she gets another Evo, and something happens, she is covered. Insurance is always priority. I would never not add insurance to the line that contains a 600.00 phone. For example, I have had Sprint for a long time and have always had insurance on both of my lines. My Evo was stolen along with the charger and my 8GB card was in it. I immediatly called Sprint, reported my phone as stolen so they could restrict the phone to basically being a brick, they then transferred me to asurian where I paid the 100.00 deductible and they understood my phone was stolen. So instead of sending me a refurb and the card and charger, they sent me a brand new Evo in the OEM box and everything like charger and manuals were nice and wrapped. Brand spanking new. If I didn't have the insurance I would have been in the same boat as your Mom. But I would call Sprint and see what they can work out for you. But ADD insurance to the line.
[EVO 4G General] Neipas09:
How bout getting your mom a cheap $10 pre-paid phone since she isn't smart enough to NOT wash a $300 phone, especially when she's too cheap to have insurance on it...
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
Take the phone to a Sprint store and hope that some one there takes mercy upon you and helps you get some kind of deal. If you're met with a no, keep trying, don't loose your cool and be prepared to spend an hour or two. Run options like canceling the current EVO line, then getting a new line with the reduced EVO price. Take your mother with you, get her a cane with a white tip.
[EVO 4G General] Phillysphinest1:
Wow you guys are horrible!! Mom insults!!

^^OP^^ this is proably your best bet if you dont want to buy another evo off there.
[EVO 4G General] glaex:
or you could go get a blackberry tour from sprint themselves for 80 right now and actually be able to add insurance
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I say, add the insurance then take it in for a new one, then remove the insurance

[EVO 4G General] sand1303:
Take the battery door off and battery out. Put it in a bag of rice for 24-48 hours. Then take it to them and tell them to replace the screen for 35 dollars and keep ur fingers crossed it works. If they see water in it they might not fix it. But they are replacing the screens on non insured phones for a small price if it cracks.

[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Yeah, you have good points, but she didn't want to pay for the insurance every month, and I figured that since she would probably drop it, then it would only be $35 to have the sprint store fix it...I wasn't planning on her washing it, with a load of towels of all things...

We'll try this, too. They might do the $35 repair...already worked out the cancel a line, get a new line, ect., but working it out in front of a sprint store employee.

Wow, those are down to only $80 retail? That's not too bad.

Ha, ha. You can't add it after 30 days, right?
[EVO 4G General] rdmpe:
I have dried out two Palm Pre phones and a digicam using this - put the device in a gallon ziplock bag and also put a "Damp Rid" refill pack in the ziplock bag. That damp rid stuff will suck all of the water out of the phone. Give it a couple of days and the phone may work just fine. Good Luck!

Sorry I just did the same thing as Subcypher - didn't realize the glass was broken... damp rid ain't gonna help with that!

I LOL'd. Especially since I said the same thing without realizing the screen was cracked.
[EVO 4G General] brandibran:
yeah... if the screen is cracked the old Rice trick is a waste of time.

Unless you're trying to retrieve her pics & other data from the phone... all of her contacts are in google, so you don't need it to work to get them... whatever phone she gets, make sure it easily syncs up with google.

Oh yeah... I also read that you said it vibrates when you try to turn it on... that's the last thing you want to do is try to turn it on while any part of the inside is wet... you should've dried it out completely.

...speaking from experience... I dropped mine in the toilet (fresh bowl ;) ) ... So, I towel dried it, blow dried it as much as I could, then let it dry on the heat vent for 4 hours before turning it on... I planned to let it dry for 24 hours, but I couldn't wait. Anyway, it works perfectly now. This was months ago.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do in the way of replacing the phone!!!
[EVO 4G General] jagxj220:
Why do I see so many toilet stories?

Unless you plan to wash your EVO after using the bathroom, no phone should ever be in the bathroom. Especially if you don't wash the EVO and you use it to make a call.

[EVO 4G General] m20120:
Try the rice trick to see if the phone will power up and function except for the screen. If so you can get the screen fixed at a reasonable cost from Sprint even without the insurance.

Even if you can not get the phone dried out and working it is worth a trip to the Sprint store and hope they will help you out. It may depend on how good and long of a customer you are. I know someone who dropped her Epic in a toilet. It was fried even after all attempts to dry it out. She went to the sprint store to see what they could do. Since she was a good customer for 10+ years they offered her a refurb but she was requried to add the insurance to the new phone.
[EVO 4G General] Quis89:
$7 insurance....times 12 months is $84.

If you mess your phone up once in that year forcing the deductable that's $100...plus the insurance for that year its $184.

That $184 is cheaper than all the options you came up with. You should have made her get the insurance...

Craigslist or Ebay are probably you lessest priced options.

[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Couple of notes for the future. You can only add insurance in the first 30 days. Also the insurance doesn't send refurbished devices they are new. Sorry about your moms phone that just sucks. Sounds like you already know your options none of wich will be cheap. All devices have flaws as they are made by people. None of use are perfect and neither are the phones.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Good points. I should have, but oh well. I know that I don't need it. I never used a case on my iphone and only dropped it once in 2 years, and I've only dropped my evo once in 8 months, so I for me, I figure by the time I destroy my phone, a new, better phone will be buy and I'll just buy it. Haha.
[EVO 4G General] motenak:
Sell it on craigslist as an EXTRA CLEAN Evo!

If you feel like doing something a tad shady, mail it to someone with insurance and say that the screen cracked in the mail and the post office must have dropped it in a puddle if someone figures out the trip through the washing machine.
[EVO 4G General] itsmaka:
What you can do is find a cool Sprint store and flip flop to another old phone add insurance to that line then swap back to the Evo. Insurance stays with the line and a service swap enables you to add insurance. Go to an indirect dealer not a corporate store... ask me how I know :)
