Dude I was just thinking that. They suckered me into getting on Sprint for the flagship Android device of 2010. And now we all hoping for the next generation of that device on Sprint, and there is ZERO info leaked yet :confused:

At least this time last year, we got some early secret spec's of the first EVO and blurry pictures of it in the shadows, knowing it was due out in a few months. But there is absolutely nothing about the EVO2. Don't hold your breath for a release this June. If there is an EVO2, looks to be a holiday release possibly.

A Samsung Galaxy S-2 or maybe iPhone5 I am sorry to say looks to be next phone, if the rumors are true with the 4" screen, and major iOS changes.
[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
I feel ya bro. IF what is being leaked about the iPhone5 is true, I may end up going that route as well. That will be one badass phone. I to feel Sprint lucked up on the EVO and shot their Wad last June. I tend to believe that the POS Echo is their big announcement for this year (hopefully not, we will see). Sprint best get their crap together and quickly before they see a mass exodus of customers AGAIN. After the Echo was announced all we heard from here is wait for MWC, well we waited and NOTHING was shown of interest. Now we have to wait for CITA in MArch. If Sprint/HTC has nothing then, I will be moving on to another carrier. I am really liking the Atrix and the rumored iPhone 5.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
yeah sprint has never been known to have the top notch phone. Was hoping the Evo coming was a sign of new things to come......at this point it doesn't look like thats the case

iPhones are cool but I can't stand to move over to closed source stuff like that and if I move to big Red, the price would have to be right which at this point it isn't so I'll likely hang onto the Evo till sprint gets another big deal phone or big red lowers there prices and jump to an android over there.....maybe
[EVO 4G General] WM_Rizzo:
Switched to Galaxy S after two Htc's and never looked back. Samsung just has so much more to offer, and now even LG. I finally have a phone with decent camera and sound, something I missed dearly on TyTn and Touch HD. Thinking back, I now realize I was never satisfied with Htc's in the first place, I just blamed it all on winmo.

Who cares about Htc, they could go out of business completely and I could care less, there's plenty of great phones out there. And better ones.

[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I almost spit my sandwich out laughing at your post :) Good one, and I agree.

I feel Sprint got the date with the hot and exciting big boobed cheer leader, but they are normally dating the fat depressed goth chick.

Come this June I am getting a new phone. I hope it is an EVO2, if there isn't one, then it will either be the Samsung Galaxy S-2 or iPhone5 with the 4" screen, and new tech. Simple as that.

Sprint and HTC better get their heads on straight. The consumer likes fresh new gadgets every year.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Is this a bogus rumor?
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
That's KIRF
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
I figured it was. Oh well.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Sprint will probably get the HTC Slingshot

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] sparhawk6:
What's that. I haven't heard anything about that.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Unfortunately I don't think it will have a front facing camera.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I thought the true next gen HTC device is the "Pyramid" ? Due out in May for T-Mobile first. Will be dual core, 4.3" screen, 1gb RAM, 1gb memory. I hope that makes it to Sprint. Will be showed off at CITA next month.

I at least hope that Sprint will get the Galaxy-S-2 phone, and not a pullout keyboard.
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
I don't really understand why people believe Samsung is some sort of demon, all this update bull**** is due to the carriers being greedy ****s, maybe if we didn't have this 2 yr contract bull**** here in the USA and we bought unlocked phones we would have better updates. Europe has had froyo on galaxy s for months. Samsung is really bringing the heat to apple. 10 + million sold is no easy feat. Don't get me wrong I love my evo and HTC support but you have to realize HTC has good support because they have to! They don't have great specs so they make up with nice design and good support. Samsungs hardware runs laps on the evo even on htcs new phones. If HTC doesn't step it up the galaxy 2 is my next phone
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
So what is the deal with the Samsung hatred? They don't push out OS updates quickly? Is that it? Is it impossible to root?

Seems like the hardware they're putting out is ridiculously awesome. I'm trying to figure out why I shouldn't get one of their devices.
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
Exactly my point, people who complain must have not heard of the amazing devs here at xda.
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
I think people were upset that they were promised a free upgrade to Froyo and they are still waiting. As to the other stuff, not sure.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
What about rooted users? Aren't there rooted ROMs with Froyo out there for Samsung devices?
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
I think so, but you know how people these days like to complain...:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
From what I've heard, almost every other OEM gives away updates for free while Samsung on the other hand charges the carriers for updates. So it's probably greed all around but at least the other OEMs aren't as greedy.
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
I've heard that as well.
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
Yea its hard to really know the truth. I heard about that, Samsung posted on twitter that it was a false rumor. I also heard carriers just take forever to implement it with all their bull**** bloatware.
[EVO 4G General] lost_man10002:
Few things stopping me from getting a samsung is the development community, Samsung charging for updates (rumor), touchwiz (god awful) and not alot of cyanogen support as other phones like the EVO...If all dat gets rectified I"m all in for samsung lol.
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
The devs follow what's hot. In fact, I think a lot of devs here came from the TP2 (I know I did). If HTC doesn't release anything hot for Sprint, I think many devs will head to what is.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I agree, especially for us Android geeks on XDA. So what, if Samsung is slow on updates, I will be running a custom ROM on my rooted Galaxy-S-2 if Sprint gets it. XDA will provide me with better stuff than waiting for the carriers to push it through.

I really am leaning towards the Galaxy-S-2. I love how razor thin they are, and super light weight. Fits in a t-shirt pocket easily, where the EVO feels like a brick compared to one of those. And the Super AMOLED+ is ****ing amazing :eek:

Now we just have to wait and get details to which carrier will get them, and when ?
[EVO 4G General] jefbal99:
Some yes, some no
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
LMAO!!!!!! Best post of the day!!!!

Really though, I am holding out hope that Sprint may be doing a smart thing and waiting for the dust to settle. Functionally while I would love to see something exciting coming from Sprint, I ain't gonna do a thing until after June 4th. My Evo still does everything I want and need it to. The development community is still off the chain with this phone. Moto is moving more and more towards complete lock down of their phones, we have to wait and see what happens with development on the LG lines, iPhone? we all know about that and I bet it will be even more difficult to jailbreak next go round. Sometimes I think "I" we lose perspective on what makes the Evo exciting. To me it is right here in this community. So remember "hold power and volume down" and go exploring.
[EVO 4G General] mbaseball3:

[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
we shall see... :/ i sure hope not. I have no problems waiting till summer, if i wont get it for the upgrade price i at least want the 75 dollars.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Well June is still 4 months away, a lot of time for Sprint and HTC to still roll out the red carpet announcing the EVO2. I am not going anywhere until that time, and then will decide.

Only reason I am possibly leaning towards the Galaxy-S-2 is two things. #1; That Super AMOLED+ screen tech is amazing. #2; Those phones are razor thin, and lightweight, easily fits in shirt pocket. That is my only beef with the EVO, it is rather thick and bulky, and feels pretty heavy in the pocket, and the EVO screen is washed out, and too white bright.
[EVO 4G General] Eat it iPhone:
HTC is seriously hanging themselves here. They dont have to be first all the time, but at least be in the race.

I wish Sprint would carry Motorola because the Atrix/Zoom concept is amazing. Unfortunately its on ATT. If HTC does the same thing only better they will be back in the game, and it better come to Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Searched Google for HTC Slingshot and got nothing but crap except your post as the number 2 result. You are busted my dear Cop!
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I agree, I just hope Sprint gets some type of high end Android phone this May/June, when all the other carriers are getting theirs.

- Verizon will get the iPhone5 in June, and new Motorola 4G Android phone, and Samsung Galaxy S-2

- ATT will get the iPhone5 in June, the Atrix, and the Samsung Infuse 4G

- T-Mobile is getting the next gen HTC "Pyramid" in May, Samsung Vibrant-4G, and new high end WinMo7.

- And Sprint, well we are only getting the "Echo" so far. WTF :confused:
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Unless HTC announces something more competitive soon, I'll likely get a Galaxy phone as well. The only disappointing thing about them is the standard resolution, but with the Super AMOLED+ screen, I could likely overlook that.

People are being a bit hasty though, the EVO was not even officially announced or shown until CTIA last year, so wait until then before raging much.

If Sprint fails to announce a new flagship device by then, rage all you want...I know I will.

+1
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Yea but thats the thing... Sprint didnt announce it until CTIA but every tech blog site knew about the Evo (then called Supersonic) as early as December and started putting out specs on it in early January.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Exactly, we all knew well before CTIA-2010, that there was a flagship Android device in the works for late Spring release. There is ZERO evidence of that now, NOT one leak what so ever.

To me that spells bad news, or at least meaning it will be delayed, like the only rumors I have heard about an EVO2, will be released later in the year.

Like someone else said in this thread. Seems like Sprint got lucky to even get the original EVO, maybe it was just a one shot , and there isn't going to be an EVO2 ? Sprint has never been known for their high end devices.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I disagree. There was no leak of the echo till the day of.
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
Yea...probably because no one wanted to leak that!
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
AMEN!!! I was thinking the same exact thing...all HTC does is repackage the same damn crap over and over and put it in a new case and give it a new name..there are so many HTC phones that are so similar it's not even funny...
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I am dying to see this new HTC "Pyramid" it is said to be coming to T-mobile in May, and sounds like it is HTC's next gen phone ? Dual core...1gb RAM...1gb memory...4.3" screen...running latest Android OS...

Sure sounds like an EVO2 spec'd phone but why is T-mobile getting it ? Hopefully it is revealed at CTIA next month. And hopefully Sprint gets a version of the "Pyramid".
[EVO 4G General] allenmkelso:
first, all Evo users (me included) should not be so quick to jump ship.. I'd rather sprint & htc wait even longer than June to truly make a perfect Evo2.. that way all the new technology can get included like wimax2, Android 2.4, better screen tech, better battery tech, even better camera,GPU & next gen chip (IMAGINE HOW GOOD THAT WOULD BE). Secondly, Evo users should not be mad at the lack of new tech as our Evo's have outdated hardware like chips,GPU, battery tech etcetera BUT STILL DOES EVERYTHING ALL THESE NEW PHONED CAN DO AND DO IT FLAWLESS..I fear sprint/ htc will be pressured into making a less stellar Evo2 because of winey customers complaints of diverting.. WITH THAT SAID THEY STILL SHOULD ATLEAST MAKE SOMETHING SOMEWHAT GREAT BEFORE THE EVO2 IS PERFECTED
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
Really? My gaming experience and video/photo taking on the EVO says otherwise.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
They already did... It's called the Kyocera Echo.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] allenmkelso:
well my Evo (rooted) but on newest stock sprint ruu and stock kernel runs ALL GAMES GREAT (angry birds, Nova) and Evo's take 720p pics and 720p video.. I came from the hero and read on Xda that htc don't release there camera source code, (most likely didn't release it for the Evo either) so if you have flashed a custom rom it would explain less pic quality

pic was taking with my hd camera, I mean Evo ;)
[EVO 4G General] allenmkelso:
CTFU, I agree that phone design is kinda stupid, too bad the great devs on here can't physically alter hardware
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
You may be right, but I'm pretty sure everyone knew about the Supersonic long before it was officially announced. So we don't know code names like Pyramid and what not. I'm not holding my breath for CTIA.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
I really can't grasp the lack of patience with you all (no offense).

Why can't you all just quit with all the speculation and complaining until we at least hear some sort of rumor.

Be grateful that you still have a great phone with even greater support (which shows no signs of slowing any time soon.)

Our evo's are fully capable (at least mine is) and will be for AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR.

How do I know this? Because I had a G1 and that phone was amazing and definitely lasted me around 2 years with the support from devs.

Don't worry about sprint not releasing any up to par phones. They have to. There's really no other choice for them if they want to remain a service provider.

I guarantee you all that we will be getting phones that are just as good if not better than what is currently coming out for other carriers, DONT WORRY

Just be patient people.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Forget all that. I guess you dont know Sprints history with phones with the only exception being the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
my old touch pro could take photos that good outside and during the day. lets see how good things look under low light, you know, where mobile cam quality really shows.

nova runs nowhere near as smooth as good my bro's epics. psx emulation can get choppy and a ton of other games too. angry birds? almost all phones can run that good.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
well if you are patient enough we will find out if they will continue what they started, or flopped.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
Nope...Only been with sprint since the evo came out..

If they prove to be pathetic, then I will just leave and go to one of the other three carriers.
[EVO 4G General] allenmkelso:
good point my bro got a G2.. and we compared and his camera is better, BUT MINE isn't necessarily bad just not the best in the game anymore. Its still take good pics in low light being the fact it had duel led
[EVO 4G General] FLdub:
I'd be kinda pissed if they come out with a new phone haha.

Well? I have synced all my contacts through my account, I didn't use Titanium backup. Is there a way to sync things like Photos, birthdays into the calendar and such? I see that the facebook app does allow it but it doesn't work :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You can sync your Facebook contacts with your phone contacts. If they don't link, just go into the phone contact and press Menu > Join and select the right one. You can do it manually by filling all the info out of the phone contact.

Everything ( ping, browsing via skyfire ) works fine but i got no connection in gtalk and gmail ( with a no connection .. warning )

It seems like gtalk,market(downloads) und gmail prove if the phone has a wifi or gprs/utms connection. Any ideas to get this working ??

1) turn off Wimax

2) delete /data/misc/wimax/[WIMAX-MAC-ADDRESS].tree.xml

Or, if it makes you feel better, rename the file.

3) turn on Wimax

Also start searching for RSA key, so that you can make sure yours is intact.

This is just a suggestion...

[Samsung Mesmerize] uselessmidget:
Hey guys,

I got my first real smart phone about a week ago, it was a USC Samsung Mesmerize. Yesterday I stumbled upon rooting when trying to figure out how to remove useless pre installed apps. All I really want is a slim & fast version & to be able to keep my navigation.

I've had experience with flashing; Xbox 360 & PSP's. So I kind of jumped into this and ended up bricking my phone. Or damn close.

From looking at the back of my phone it says Galaxy S, so I went in that section and downloaded/flashed this originally (caused brick):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940671

I did everything up to step 7, except it wouldnt boot past the splash screen.

So then came panic time...

I eventually reflashed with a new rom for the correct phone, This one to be exact:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944671

My question is:

What have I really done now that I run on this rom?

I still cant uninstall preloaded software.

I would be willing to flash a new rom so I can have a faster phone.

But really no one makes it clear enough in there guides about how this process actually works.

my best guess is after I flashed with that rom I will be able to upgrade to a better rom?

What is FROYO EA11?

What is voodoo?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Yoder808:
First off, consequences will never be the same...

You are now running a STOCK (leaked) 2.2 ROM, with a stock kernel and USCC App Bloat.

If you want a fast Android 2.2 with stock apps removed, do this:

1. Flash the EA11 + recovery via Odin, following the steps here.

2: Download the EA11 voodoo kernel found here and flash.

3: Boot into recovery and run update.zip (this will push you to a red clockwork recovery)

HINT: If you aren't familiar with clockwork recovery, the controls are slightly different. You use still use the volume buttons to navigate, but the power button is now used to execute selections and the search softkey to go back.

4: select install .zip from sdcard

5: select the voodoo .zip and confirm

This will install the new kernel and replace your recovery (which used to require booting into the Samsung recovery before making your way to the clockwork recovery by installing update.zip from sdcard) with a clockwork recovery that will look identical to the one you had after running update.zip, but can enable your newly acquired lagfix.

6: enable voodoo lagfix, and rejoice!

6: Optionally install the Pick and Pack ROM found here. (I WOULD!)

(Credits to MesmerizeUser for these steps, I copypasta'd and edited.)

Good luck with your back-tracing! Let us know if any steps are unclear.

Also, the payed version of Titanium Backup will let you "freeze" stock apps, so they don't appear in your menus, and they won't run, but you can "thaw" them whenever you like.

PS - FROYO EA11 is a leaked Android 2.2 ROM for the Mesmerize. Google names Android releases after deserts, like Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, etc.

Voodoo is a name of the kernel which changes your EXT2 partition (old school) to EXT4 (new school), and makes your file system much faster.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
OK, first of all, welcome. You've come to the right place to do several things. The first of which is to learn. Don't freak out. You're phone is in good hands here in this forum. Unless you really try hard, you can't do much to actually bork it up so bad that we can't fix it.

So, what you have done up to this point is update your phone to the leaked 2.2 firmware. It's not a ROM, it's actually the full firmware. If you want to remove bloat, the easiest way is to now install my EA11 Pick-n-Pack ROM, which already probably lighter than you want it. The good thing, is that it also has an addons pack that you can download to put anything back on that you want. Everything is there in easily flashable zip files. You just have to look inside if you don't see the actual name of something in particular. (ie. calendar is in SamsungandTouchWiz.zip) Now if you want faster with your new light weight ROM, go with the EA11 Voodoo kernel to help boost you up as well. This isn't a final build, as we don't have source code yet so understand this is just a small improvement on the stock kernel. Now, if you want to get all the way back to stock 2.1, might I suggest this thread to help with that. And for some help getting to know a little about everything, pop over to the irc channel in my signature and talk to anyone that happens to be there. We're here to help. If they don't answer, they've probably stepped away. Some of us hang out there and leave the computer idle while we're doing other things.

Again, welcome aboard. I hope some of that info helped you out.
