problem need a little help. as i plug phone into computer i get nothing but charge.Look in my computer and shows up but when click on it it says insert card.can put in recovery and usb that way.....also can adb and phone shows up in command..any help why it doesnt give me the option when i plug it into usb port would be great...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
If phone is not shown I believe you are missing drivers. Check your device manager and follow this steps http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Now if you want to access SD card but phone only charge maybe you or someone else clicked "remember this" while selected option "charge only" in past and phone does NOT prompt anymore. What are you trying to do ?

This is likely a dumb question, buts its worth a shot, do any of you Sprint insiders have any info on some future WiMax cities? I have used 4G going through Nashville and Atlanta, but I would really love it have it here in Louisville.

Its just frustrating that a city with a metro population of 1.4 Million doesn't have 4G, yet smaller towns like Lansing, MI and Wichita Falls, TX do.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budderocks:
It has to do with the way Clear does business. They will go into small cities because there is less competition. Grand Rapids, Mi, for example, gave Clear tax incentives to build their network there. They are in a lot of larger and mid-sized cities, but they are going to go where there is less competition, or some other type of incentive to go there. Sprint is going to have a good amount of say in where Clear builds out since they own a majority of Clear, but Clear still needs to be profitable (which they are not), or at least try.

Sooo...if sprint did decide to switch to LTE...would that make us obsolete? I'm assuming I wouldn't get "4g" since my phone is wimax right? If that's the case, there would be some serious hell to pay since 4g and sprints pricing is the only reason I got rid of my 4 year old xv6800 and switched from verizon.

Thats a good question? anyone want to answer this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budderocks:
My best guess would be that the current 4G hardware would be fine. Clear is where Sprint gets their WiMax and Clear has a lot of customers using WiMax for home internet with a lot of equipment and I don't see it being cost effective to try and get everyone on LTE at the same time. Sprint and Clear would probably shift everyone over to LTE at some point, but that would be years down the road after LTE comes out. Kind of like the way the cell providers handled the switch from analog to digital. Just a guess, but when LTE comes out, there will be overlap while they sell out of their WiMax equipment as cheaper phones and sell new LTE equipment as their premium phones and they will support WiMax for 3-5 years longer. This is all conjecture, but I think this is the way it will happen.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PythonFanTN:
Yeah, and lets be honest with ourselves too...by the time this would actually happen across their entire current 3G spectrum, most people would already be on new phones by then anyway, regardless of how happy or not they are on their current one anyway.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePrime:
I call BS.

While Sprint can/will be able to flick a switch and enable LTE, there is no good reason to do it unless they want to BYOD Verizon phones. Which might be a reason to do it.

WiMAX has done better than LTE across the board. WiMAX comes from an IT background, with it's endless dev cycle and fierce price competition. LTE comes from a telco background, with it's bloat and ponderous plodding.

This means LTE deployments are very slow but work well. WiMax customers are going to suffer through bugs but they will be patched and reved through quickly.

Sprint has never has GSM phones, tho they are more common. Why Sprint would give up there mufti year head start to switch tech is beyond me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
Not to knock anything you're saying but in my opinion, Wi-max isn't really good.

Sure, it has great range. Building penetration however, sucks. 2.5 ghz spectrum is not good IMO. Right now Verizon is testing VOLTE, voWIMAX on phones will be awful. It works well on Clear because most people put their modems in one spot and that's it. For phones, it would call for frequent disconnects.

I love Sprint, but after the froyo debacle, and me playing around with LTE 4G.

I believe LTE is the way to go :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePrime:
WiMAX is an open spec and does not have a frequency requirement. LTE is worse at building penetration then WiMAX, but that is not important. It is about frequency.

Sprint could run WiMax over 800 MHZ just fine. Poof no more reason for LTE.

But penetration, I understand, is not going to be a problem when we get around to 802.16m.

LTE is a closed, expensive, protocol. It is not network centric, it's Telco centric.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superbovine:
Oh that frustrates you?

How about this, Sebring, a city about 60 miles west of me has 4G via Clear. It is only Sebring, not bleed over from a neighboring city or anything like that.

Their population is around 10,000.

Suck on that for a while.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultra78721:
+1 I met a guy that works for ERICSSON which that company maintains Sprint towers here in Austin Texas.

He told me that LTE is more reliable/cheaper than clear-wire 4g. And not to expect anything till 2013/2014.

And he also told me that clear-wire 4g is not making profit.

If this is true ..I really don't know:confused:

Personally I think 4g sucks..unreliable:(

I was rooted and playing with a lot of roms when dj05 came out but have since gone back to complete stock. I flashed back using Adrynalyne's Full DI01 ODIN package and am now on the ea28 build. Since then I seem to have broken my stock calendar. If I make an event, add a participant, and try to send the invite, I get the error; no application can perform this task. Gmail is working fine, so I am looking for advice as to what could have happened and how to go about fixing it.

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate General] mefloump:
Ok..... Does anybody know how I can reload the stock calendar app without being rooted?
[Fascinate General] mefloump:
*Update*

I had to do another full restore using the above said method and it seems that right away after setting up the phone that the stock calendar and gmail are unlinked. My wifes phone is out of the box stock and her calendar works fine. Can someone tell me how to do a backup of her phone that I can then apply to my phone? Keep in mind we are both not rooted and running EA28.

Thanks in advance.

Is Windows 7 better or is Android better?

in terms of

-applications

-stability

I haven't been reading up on Windows 7 phones.. I don't think they've yet to include Adobe Flash Player into Windows phones rightt?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
- More apps on Android

- More stability on WP7

- Flash only on Android

- use the search function, addressed a thousand times.
[Windows Phone 7 General] evilwz:
Can i ask something?

I know there's some small fixes for flash on windows phone, on opera browser. but it doesn't enable all the flash videos to be played right? i rmb i could only play a handful of videos with the fix.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
There's no fixes for flash on WP7, just winmo. WP7 is a new OS and is essentially in a beta phase. It is lacking some features but what it does have is more stability and a higher quality everything than android. Android can do more but WP7 does it better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] evilwz:
oh i seee. thanks for the clarification :>

I've always admired Windows 7 but it's the lack of Flash enabled function that is holding me back. having flash enabled provides much more convinent! :<
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Thats not really on windows, that's all on adobes end. HTML5 will be coming out soon enough and that is much better. I'm willing to wait a bit for a higher quality everything. Plus I can still see youtube videos and theres pretty much a youtube video of everything...
[Windows Phone 7 General] evilwz:
sorry but may i ask what's the difference does that HTML5 have huh?

it looks so much cooler to surf the webpage with flash enabled :<
[Windows Phone 7 General] AnnihilatorSC:
WP7 - just works. EOD.

Android - great if you have time to burn tweaking it to death, or just love tweaking.

WP7 is going to rockk even more after it's flash enabled (:
[Windows Phone 7 General] stukindaguy:
While I am an Android fan myself, I do think that WP7 is going to be awesome, just isn't there quite yet. After the flash and C&P updates, and when they allow installing applications not from their own market (not talking about piracy, just alternative marketplaces), then it will be a worthy competitor to Android. And maybe, just maybe, even better due to Android's fragmentation as well it's slight UI lag on SOME phones.

Personally, I love tweaking and customizing my OS so Android will most likely always be my choice.

Also, am I the only one who finds this poll biased being posted in the WP7 forums?
[Windows Phone 7 General] evilwz:
:< sry, i didnt know where else to post this question!

yeaa, i kinda like WP7 UI. it looks kinda cool. I just have to wait till things get beef up. Once it's flash enabled and with alternative market allowed. it's going to be awesomeee.

[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
Wow, a competition between a desktop system and a mobile system:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Well the good thing about WP7 is that Flash won't be baked into the ROM a'la Android phones.

Flash is terrible on smartphones. It divides browser performance by 3, at least on my Galaxy S and every other single-core phone I've used in the T-Mobile stores (including MT4G and G2). I have no reason to doubt it will be the same on WP7 (and those phones use older SoCs than these newer Android phones).

The fortunate thing is that you won't have to install it, and you'll be able to uninstall it if it came pre-installed. If Microsoft bakes flash into IE, that will be a showstopper.

Even with Flash Set to on-demand, the Android browser went from smooth in Eclair to becomming the laggiest piece of software on this phone. Just scrolling through pages is a chore and half the time I need to open up the page in another browser if there is any flash content.

When you set it to on demand it still shows all the content placeholders, and the pop up adds on websites often come up (with placeholders in them) and block you view.

I see no reason to have flash on phones. Silverlight and HTML5 video tag/codecs support is all that's needed.

I was just like you people. I was crying for flash on my phone, but once I got it I realized just how freaking terrible it really is. There aren't many good points to Flash. Steve Jobs was right.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
How is WP7 more stable, while it is very likely that my next phone (that I really would like to have soon, since I haven't brought a new phone in 4 years) will be a WP7 phone, I have to say that I had to do more than a few battery pulls in the 14 days that I was trying out the HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
How is flash baked in? Its in the market for download, if your phone came with it preinstalled then you can still upgrade it.

Experience varies as mine is perfect. It even worked great on my old HTC Touch, flash lite.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
As far as which is better, it depends on how you use your phone.

Android is much better at the moment, even though I'm getting rid of my Vibrant for an HD7 - I just feel the concessions I have to make are worth it.

WP7 has too many hidden APIs at the moment. There are a decent amount of good apps, and a lot of Major Players are on the platform already (Facebook, Twitter, Loopt, 4Square, Netflix, Amazon Kindle, Adobe Reader, of couse Microsoft, Last.Fm, Slacker, etc.).

The biggest issue I have is that the platform cannot facilitate IM applications. Messenger by Miyowa isn't good enough. I need a decent Multi-Protocol IM Client with Push Notifications, like Trillian or BeejiveIM, but that's impossible on WP7. If you IM a lot, you're DIW on WP7 unless you only use Windows Live Messenger (you may on desktop, but this Miyowa thing has like 1/3rd the functionality of the desktop client i.e. no FB chat IIRC).

If you have to Multitask pre-emptively a lot, then WP7 is not for you. The Mango update will bring it, but it's not worth it to buy a phone to wait for Mango, because that's not coming until almost the end of this year and there may be newer hardware out by the time the platform actually meets you requirements. In that case, buy an Android or iOS device and wait on WP7 to mature more.

If you are a Zune Pass subscriber and/or own an XBox 360 then WP7 will probably do well for you :P Just make sure you get a phone with 16GB Storage (HD7/DVP).

If you want good Navigation, then you need Android, not WP7. An HD2 is loads better than WP7 for Navigation with its Bing app, which has Voice-Guided Navigation. It's a shame Microsoft couldn't launch this with WP7.

WP7 is good, but once you get past the surface there is a huge functionality gap between it and competing OSes. Looks are nice and all, but they won't make up for lost functionality when you need it. Consider wisely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
You cannot uninstall Flash. It's BAKED IN.

Flash Lite is Flash Lite. It has nothing to do with Adobe Flash in the Android phones. My old Samsung Jack had Flash Lite and it worked great on the content it supported. That's not my point.

Flash performs terribly on smartphones.

Everyone agrees except Android fanbois who want to make it seem like the second coming of Christ in an attempt to denegrate Apple.

It's terrible. It's baked in.

I don't want to upgrade it. I want to uninstall it and/or go back to the Flash Lite I had before they pushed this abomination upon me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Having hardware acceleration in IE9 should eliminate any performance issues with Flash, shouldnt it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kpmblue7:
Lol. I was waiting for someone to point this out. Windows 7, as a desktop operating system, is far superior to Android. Obviously the original poster meant Windows Phone 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
No, not necessarily. Flash is very heavy and even devices with very good SoCs in them choke on flash. The Hardware accelleration will offload video deciding and things like that to the GPU, but I'm not sure how much that will help with your Flash Facebook games, for example, or the ads that are prevalent on the internet and make themselves the forefront of you browsing experience when you have flash enabled. Perhaps you'll see things differently if you had a phone with Flash and noticed all of a sudden websites you visit are 60% adds and Placeholder videos you don't care to see (placeholder if you have it set to on-demand, otherwise the content will load - this will also increase you data consumption ridiculously... not good for AT&T or low data cap users, IMO).

When I get my HD7 in I will record myself using the Vibrant with Flash enabled and show you people what sort of terrible performance the browser gets with it.

Sorry, but IE9/Flash Hardware Accelleration will not make Flash usable. Adobe needs to make some changes to flash to make it less resource intensive. Offloading is fine - it IS 2011, but they still need to trim flash down considerably. It has issues both on desktop and mobiles (mitigated quite a bit on desktops by ridiculous hardware, of course).

The browser is laggy as **** even with it set to on-demand. I can only imagine what it's like with the browser set to just load everything, and I'm not about to try and see (maybe when I make the video I'll do it).

Flash is overrated and IMO it's much better to just use a platform-specific app (YouTube, NetFlix, Hulu, etc.) instead of going to flash websites.

Flash also kills your battery. And while Hardware Accelleration will help with that, you will still get a net battery life much less than you have now, especially if they implement Multi-Tasking in the same timespan. If not because it uses the CPU more, than because you phone will drain more battery downloading the Flash content on the web pages...

TL;DR: Most of the Hardware Accelleration features are for video decoding and things like that. Go read up on Flash 10.2.

P.S. Public Polls are idiotic on such a divisive topic. Just wanted to let you know that, OP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
You're talking utter bullcrap. I can walk you through the uninstall process. So stop the lie.

Just say you don't know how.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
This is how I uninstall Pandora:

Click Market

Menu - My Apps

Scroll to Pandora - Click it

Click "Uninstall"

I shouldn't have to hack the **** out of my phone just to uninstall and app, and uninstalling Flash will not give me Flash Lite back on my phone. More hacking around will be necessary for that.

It's not utter bullcrap. It's a simple usability failure.

Plugins like Flash should not be baked into a phone OS/Browser, and should be totally uninstallable without going through hoops and bounds. It was not a secret that Flash performs terribly on phones. People knew that since the Galaxy Tab was released - Flash performs utterly terrible on that as well, and even with Plugins set to on demand the Browser's performance takes a nosedive.

Has nothing to do with not knowing how to do it. I'm simply not going to pull my hair out to do it. In any case, my WP7 phone shipped today, so I should be rid of this ****ty Vibrant before the week is over.

You're such a terrible troll, you know that? Another idiot trying to use Semantics to prove a point, and failing.

P.S. I have an HD2 and I've tried runnin Android on it. Flash is just as failingly bad on it as on any other Android phone. Stop trying to make it look like it's the phone or user's fault. Flash is just ****ty on phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Yeah dude you have a problem. Its fine on my phone and others. Don't try and force your opinions on others. You take your problems and think everyone else has them, and reality is they don't.

Flash is great on my 1ghz and even better on my Tegra 2. Flash lite was great on my 528mhz.

Oh yeah, you clearly stated that flashed couldn't be uninstalled. You forgot to mention that its Android and you can remove any thing that's not part of the core OS. However you wouldn't state that because you're too busy spouting bull****. Does android even have flash lite?

A add-on that can't be uninstalled? Sure.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I am a 100 percent WP7 advocate and do not like android at all and even I must say that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about in terms of the flash matter.
