[EVO Shift 4G General] Jeezimus:
1. I actually went without my charger this past weekend and phone was up with moderate usage from 9 am Friday to 3 pm Sunday. Great battery life so far.

2. PERFECT size. Your supersonic is too bulky for me but the shift has a great feel. Decent screen without being clunky.

3. The keyboard is good, preferable over a touch screen imo, but the keys could be a bit better. I tend to mistype more frequently on the shift than on my old moment. Also, numbers are now a fn value rather than having their own row. only moderately annoying.

4. The sense ui is incredibly responsive and smooth. Keeping it over launcherpro.

5. I don't use the camera much, but it seems fine. Good quality, but its not that important to me.

6. Can't comment as I got the shift just so i wouldn't EVER have to do that.

Hope that helps =)
[EVO Shift 4G General] Khilbron:
Thank you for your comments, I will be making a decision on which phone to get her this weekend since her boost bill is due on monday.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Scaryghoul:
1. I'm using the 1.8GHz OC kernel, and my battery life seems to be doing fairly well. Under heavy usage(Screen on constantly & using apps) I drain about 7% per 30 minutes. This includes the occasional times I OC for some extra power(I don't OC all the time). So that'll last about 7 hours under constant usage. Under moderate usage(a few texts and a call every 2-3 hours with some app usage)....I drain about 1-2% per half hour to an hour. So the battery lasts forever with moderate. I don't really need to OC during moderate. Under little usage(Screen off most of the day, just idle), it stays clocked at 245Mhz and takes forever to drain the battery so I couldn't tell you how long that lasts. It's been idle for about 5hours with 1 hour of moderate use and I'm at 94%.

edit: 8hours of little to moderate usage - 93%

2. Size and feel is pretty slick, I honestly don't really notice the extra bulk for the keyboard. I don't know how to put it other than it's smooth/slick. I like the design build(Except I wish there was a dedicated camera button)

3. The hardware keyboard...I don't use it much except for heavy emails/texting and it took a few days to get used to but I'm pretty profficient on it now, coming from a moment. Nothing to complain about majorly. The number key issue has been addressed already, another thing is to use certain symbols you need to hit FN-Space, that is quite annoying for someone like me. Although if you don't use math symbols a lot and make strange faces like ^^ then you're okay.

4. It's pretty nice but I prefer adwEx for many reasons. I like a lot of sense's apps, but not the launcher. Overall everything is pretty smooth on the shift, if someone were to stick with sense not knowing of other launchers, they'd probably be happy on it. Only thing I miss about sense launcher is the widgets ^^.

5. Incredibly well, I'd say. This goes double for the video camera. I love it and it's quality. It's only 5MP but 5MP is a lot to me, and recording in 720p is pretty amazing. Only thing I notice is that if you want great quality, you have to have a rather steady hand.

6. I mostly use the software keyboard over the hardware, short texts & input fields are easy with the portrait mode software keyboard. I still use the stock sense keyboard, but I have a lot of other's installed, other keyboards work pretty well too but I like that sense has a dedicated button to make the keyboard go down, GB has swype actions you can use to hide it but I like the button better.

P.s You already know I'm rooted by me saying I'm using the OC kernel but I figured my input was rather valid on most issues, except mabey battery life since I'm rooted using setcpu....I honestly don't know what stock non-rooted feels like because I was rooted in half an hour of getting it.....

Not possible. However you can put it on AT&T (all you have to do is unlock it).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moSess:
I didn't put up with it either and moved to simple mobile. Simplemobile(one word). The same coverage, speed, everything. Except cheaper and no taxes! Me and my wife love it.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moSess:
Guys.. the best decision i have made in awhile.

I did the math. I broke contract, and even with the early termination fee, it will be cheaper in the next two years than staying with tmobile. In the first year the ETF will be paid off.

I switch between the 60 and 50 dollar plan. One being unlimited and the other 1000MB. With no taxes its awesome. My wife uses the 40 a month plan. Both with unlimited text included. So its $90 to $100 a month. With tmobile I used to pay $119.99 for unlimited talk and text for me and my wife. Plus my unlimited android web for another $20. Thats all before taxes!!!! They would average between 17-27$!!!!! $160-$170 a month after taxes!!!

EFF TMOBILE!!!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Well how's their customer service? If they're the same nework as T-Mo, then that means my reception at home would continually be dropping in and out.

I read recently that T-Mo has a Cel-fi unit that is supposed to amplify the signal, which isn't readily available to anyone unless they threaten to cut service with T-Mo.

My question is, is there any kind of access to such equipment with SimpleMobile?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexapus:
I don't know if the cell-fi thing is any different, but as of a little while ago, you can connect via your own home wifi (or any open wifi) and use that to make calls or send texts...behaves the same as if it were a tower (but internet is way faster). You don't need a special unit for that. The question is whether that feature works on SimpleMobile. I'd hope so, but wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.

I'm intrigued by this SimpleMobile...I can get a G2 off of CL for $300, and call it a day. The main complaints I've found have been either from the dealer side concerning new activations (though, a hassle there is still a hassle/delay for me), and no three-way calling. Some have mentioned slow internet, but that seems to be a t-mobile "feature" in general, so I dunno if it's any slower...don't see why it would be.

I'm still on my 30 day return period, so yeah...hrmmm.

Anyone else using this?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakebear:
I pay about $72 a month on T-Mobile flexpay. No contract. 500 anytime minutes, free night and weekends, unlimited T-Mobile to T-Tmobile and unlimited texting/data. I purchase phones from craiglist or ebay and when I want to upgrade I sell the old phone to offset the cost of the new one. I've been on the plan for almost 2 years now and have been happy with it. It's cheaper then any contract plan and I get all the latest phone and service options. That being said, I'm always looking for something cheaper. Virgin Mobile's $25 plan interests me but their phones aren't quite next gen. I still need to look into flashing a Verizon or Sprint phone to one of the other prepaid carriers. Simple Mobile is interesting also and seems to have everything I want in a carrier: ability to have a rooted Android phone, "4g" speeds, unlimited texting and "unlimited" data. However upon Googling simple mobile I'm seeing threads about their "unlimited" data cap being only 1gb while most other carriers don't throttle or disable speeds until 5gb. I tether my phones internet to a laptop while I'm at work and will easily go over 1gb in a month. I've never had a problem with T-Mobile and I'm pretty sure I've used over 5gb in a month with some light Netflix and other downloads. So have those of you using Simple Mobile had any data problems or know if this has been changed?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moSess:
You know, when I am at home I am on wifi. I wish I could help more. I use the data for maps when I need to look up things on the run and mail mostly. I have never tethered with this plan. SimpleMobile does explicitly state that tethering is grounds for termination of service. Right on the site. NO TETHERING! But I have heard of other users doing it. Also with certain tethering apps the carrier is unaware, though with which I know not. Cyanogens tethering app is one I saw mentioned. I DO NOT know the details though.

Good luck man, and search!:)

[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
Ok guys, so I saw somewhere around here, a while back I think that Sprint changed some of it's fine print in the contract...Soooo, no one flame me or anything, but does anyone have any info on this? Thinking of jumping ship to verizon. I have 4 lines right now and pay around $176 a month and all the lines are still under contract for a while. I'm not set on going to verizon, but would just like to get some ideas....Thanks for any input....yes...I'm thinking about getting the iphone
[EVO 4G General] r916:
tether it a lot while roaming. Use up at least 3-4 gig's a month on roaming data.
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
Yeah, pretty much this. Load up a Verizon PRL and start downloading Linux ISOs. :p
[EVO 4G General] cruise350:
And get ready for your bill to double for those 4 lines.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
You know I've never considered this. Would they just wash you out if you started doing this? Would there be any kind of monetary penalty?
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
I'm looking to get out of all my lines tho, not just one...I forgot what I read somewhere but, Sprint changed like the price per text message, or since they're adding this $10 data fee, or something along those lines...i wish i could find that same post
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
I think I found something...This was just on my latest bill, I did some research and any change to the previous contract is a breach and you have 30 days to get out of your contract. Now, you can get out of your contract and still keep your service, just not be tied down to a fricken contract! Here is what was on my last bill:

Directory Assistance 411 Increase

Effective 3/1/11, the domestic Directory Assistance 411 base charge will increase to $1.99 per call.

Please let me know if I am wrong, but when I worked for Verizon this is the way it was for them too.
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
I think the way it works is you tell them "hey I don't agreement this change and I want out" and they have to.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
Call Sprint and ask.
[EVO 4G General] doh_tee:
Tell them you heard about the Kyocera Echo release and it terrified you, and if Sprint reps have any decency, they'll understand. :p
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
HAHAHA!! HILARIOUS! You know what, that whole "thing" tonight makes me want to switch even more. I know - I didn't think it was going to happen - but I was hoping for an iPhone...Or at least not something that looks like a toy and completely useless
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
Not sure but I think the contract might give them the option to. I haven't heard of anyone being charged though, just dropped from the network.

I believe the text message rate happened some time ago. Sprint has been very careful with their most recent changes and they don't count as "materially adverse changes". The Sprint Premier change doesn't because it's a perk and not part of the contract. The $10 data fee doesn't because if you have an EVO or Epic, you're already under contract to pay it anyway, and if you don't, you won't be paying it until you get another phone. The 411 fee mentioned above also doesn't count because it's not part of your contract.
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
No. Once you get out of your contract this way you also lose service and the phone numbers associated with the account. You just do not pay the ETF per line if they apply.
[EVO 4G General] galaxywhat?:
Soo.... Any hope of escaping the contact?
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
I think I'm going to give them a jingle tomorrow....I will let you guys know what they say
[EVO 4G General] genuismensa:
You cant get out for Sprint changing the ten dollar premium data fee because existing lines are already grandfathered in and the 411 calls are just a service they offer. you can call 1800free411 and get free 411 calls if you would like. They will not let you out of contract because these fees are not something you are forced to pay. The last time sprint changed something that would allow you to get out of your contract for free was when they imposed the 5g data cap on the 3g service for data cards only. that meant that anyone who opposed it could end service within 30 days without any ETF but after the 30 days it was assumed that you accepted. So I would keep trolling but they are really arent as dumb as they seem...
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
So, where do they have to post this info when they change it then?
[EVO 4G General] xfusejc:
I drew up a plane ticket and an apartment lease contract to a place where Sprint offered no reception. I think I was moving to Alaska or something.... can't remember. Point is, it worked. They let the line go without paying an ETF.

Photoshop rules :)

[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Before I ask, I want you to know that I am not trying to flame by any means, I am just curious as I've been wondering what kind of shift would occur with the release of the iPhone on VZW. That said, what is the appeal of the iPhone over the EVO in your opinion?
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
That's a real good question man. I've been weighing the differences the last couple of days and trying to decide. I personally think the EVO is just a little to big and the battery life is not the best. With that being said, after I just flashed the MIUI rom I am getting insane battery life, so that helps big time. And not to mention all the features on MIUI that the iPhone doesn't have and probably never will. I love the openness of the Andriod system and all the devs that are really supportive. I just really like the iPhones outer shell and the form factor. I can easily slip it into my pocket. I guess I'm more interested in trying something new, just to see what else is out there. I have played around with a couply buddies iPhones before and wouldn't mind using it day to day. Now, on the otherside of that, my friends (that are iPhone users) checked out my EVO and they were blown away...loved the widgets, all the customizations, screen resolution - even tho the iPhone is better, they said it was more clear and you could actually see your background instead of having it filled up with icons. I think I've come to conclusion that I'm not going to switch to Verizon just for the iphone or for any reason for that matter. For the most part Sprint has been good to me and normally resolve my problems when I have one. So to sum it up in a sentence, I think I'm just getting sick of the EVO and wish Sprint had more options. Whether it be the iPhone or other high end Andriod devices. I know it has the Epic and the EVO shift. And definitely not this Echo thing, whatever it is. I'll just hang tight for the EVO 2, hopefully. So really overall weighing the options - the EVO is the way to go, just hoping something new comes out soon. I know - i'm pretty impatience.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I can relate to your impatience, I have had the EVO since release day and I haven't kept a phone this long in years! Nonetheless, I love the EVO and I too am running MIUI which is pretty sick. I agree with you that the iPhone is a sleek piece of hardware, and I would love an iPhone with a 4.3" screen running Android, but that won't likely happen. Also, like you I really enjoy just about everything about the Android OS and have had nothing but great service and pricing from Sprint. If my wife and I did switch plans for some reason (can't think of why we would at this point), we would likely go to VZW and I would get the thunderbolt while she would likely get the iPhone. Neither of us are particularly interested in paying VZW prices though...

There are obviously going to be huge numbers of iPhone sales on VZW. I am curious how many of those sales will be Android converts, AT&T converts or others... As the iPhone becomes available to more and more people, it will be interesting to see which OS is truly preferred by the masses.

I for one prefer Android and can't wait for the EVO 2. I think HTC and Sprint both know that the EVO 2 had better be something special and I look forward to seeing what they come up with.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Well im converting to big red but not for the iphone. Im getting the Thunderbolt even though I may just buy an iphone also to switch out with periodically. That was what I used to do when I had tmobile. Thats one thing I do miss about GSM is being able to just put the sim in pretty much whatever. But their coverage where I lived was terrible.. had to ditch em. What really took me over the top was when I found out I have LTE in my house but not wimax. And my sister has a droid X and she gets 5 bars in my house with like 2 megs down while my evo has 2-3 bars and gets anywhere from 100kbs to 500kbs down. That pretty much sealed the deal for me.

That and when we took a trip to Huntsville the last time (which we do a couple of times a month), I had to roam all the way from Anniston to Huntsville while she had coverage the whole way. So I pretty much assumed I was roaming on Verizon. As a sidenote, I saw a sign the other day that said Metro PCS LTE now in Atlanta. I didnt even know they had 4G here yet. Im tempted to try it out just to see how quick it is.

Edit: Just saw an article that said Metro's LTE averages about 1MB lol. Scratch that idea.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] OrangeTimer:
Hi there! I had the same problem and the solution i used was to log on using a different network (I know it sounds stupid, but it works). So if you're using you mobile data connection, connect to a wifi connection instead, or if you're already on wifi then connect to another wifi access point. Then try logging in again, it should all work.
