[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Try and buy a phone outright from bb and you will pay significantly more than a corporate store.

My 2 cents...

The evo with the sprint branded extended life battery makes up for the evo's biggest con, battery life. Only bad thing so far is I can't find a case for the fatter evo. My eyesight is getting worse so smaller screens and fonts aren't fun to deal with. I do have a shift and it's a nice little phone. I thought I wanted a keyboard phone but I'm growing out of that. Now, the thing I find the keyboard good for is playing emulator games. It's too frustrating with on screen controls with console games, for me.

Another feature to consider with the evo is it is supposedly one of the few phones that with wireless tether, it runs in infrastructure mode and not ad hoc like most the rest. You could, theoretically, run a xoom or other android phones on wifi with the evo as the access point. From what I've been reading, the xoom can't see ad hoc. Once again I digress.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sconig:
I am willing to wager some money that the new Evo will be a much better phone then the Thunderbolt. I went with the shift because by the time the device comes out my 1 year upgrade will be rolling around again. Also I remember seeing something about Sprint having a cap on 3G speeds after 5 GB of data usage, but 4G is all you can eat. All phones can be run as Wifi Tether when Rooted, or you can pay Sprint for the unrooted version, which the Evo and Evo Shift both do.

Evo shift.. has much better battery life!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
really? The Xoom won't be able to see the shift's WiFi signal? I know the iPad can, because I use it all the time through my phone. That'd be yet another shortcoming of the Xoom.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tailsthecat3:
did you use an evo extensively before using the shift?

anyone else perhaps switch from an evo to a shift? Im looking for battery life, i use my device all the time and recharging in my 10a class is getting annoying.(I leave my house at 6.30a)

I need better battery life without adding bulk so i dont want an aftermarket battery. been thinking heading to the blackberry camp because i loved the battery life on my tour.

is the shift significantly better on battery consumption than the evo? advise please.thank you!
[EVO Shift 4G General] abanh:
I picked up the Shift last week, came from the Evo which I've had since last June. The Shift has much better battery life while in use compared to the Evo. With the Shift, if i use the xda app for an hour, I'll see the battery drop 13%-16%. With the Evo it was closer to 20% battery drop. Doing web browsing on the Evo sometimes the battery will drop almost 25% per hour, where as the same usage on the Shift will be less than 20%. Keep in mind battery usage will vary depending on location, signal strength, whether you're using wifi or 3g, etc. In my regular usage I do notice an improvement with the Shift.

I tried pretty much every ROM available for the Evo and had no issues getting through the day without needing to recharge with my regular usage. Battery life was great while the phone was sleeping - charge the phone to 100% at night, unplug and go to bed, wake up and the battery was at 95%. This was using some of the custom kernels available. With the stock rooted ROM on the Shift, I wake up and the battery is at 93%. I'm sure changing to an undervolted kernel will at least match the Evo when it comes to battery life while sleeping.

Bottomline is with heavy or moderate usage, battery life with the Shift is noticeably better. If you barely use your phone both phones can easily go over 24 hours.
[EVO Shift 4G General] lilgrass71:
Hey abanh... is it bad to keep ur phone on the plug? Does it wear out the battery?
[EVO Shift 4G General] abanh:
No - HTC designed it so when your battery reaches 100% it will stop charging. So that means even though your phone is still sitting on the charger and the battery meter indicates 100%, it's actually not charging until the battery drops below a certain threshhold (I'm thinking 90%). The battery meter will still be at 100% even though it actually dropped somewhere into the 90 percent range. Thats why when you take your phone off the charger the battery drops down close to 90% so quick.

I take my phone off the charger every night, but when i wake up in the morning i put it back on the charger while i get ready for work. 15 minutes on the charger in the morning will put the battery closer to 100% to start the day versus leaving it charging all night.
[EVO Shift 4G General] lilgrass71:
I see. Makes sense... thanks
[Xoom General] Droid-Steve:
Anyone else having this issue? Using the stock email program I've set up my business email accounts using IMAP. When I delete an email it does not get moved to the trash folder. It deletes the email from the inbox on the Xoom, but the email actually still remains on the server. My host is 1and1.com, but they shouldn't be the issue because it all works fine on my DroidX.

Thanks,

Steve

If you want to do it from CWM just turn phone off then turn phone back on hold the red power button down till you boot into MAGLDR. From there choose option 8 then choose backup and restore then choose backup the phone will backup everything including your data. reboot phone when done then you will havwe a full backup of that rom data and configuration saved directly to memory card for use anytime later and you can also save it to your computer.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siege121677:
For the past 2 days, no matter what ROM I flash, car dock comes on at every reboot. I've never used the car dock app, so I'm at a loss as to why it starts up every time I reboot my phone. I exit out of car dock, and it doesn't start back up until the next time I reboot.

Also, every time a call comes in, or if I make a call, speaker phone is always on by default. Again, this happens on every ROM I flash, and it's only been happening the past 2 days.

I'm rooted, currently using Warm Z, with netarchy 4.3.2 cfs more havs.

I should also mention that I've tried multiple kernels with the hopes that maybe that would solve the issue, but sadly it hasn't. Any help would be appreciated.

Well I have no idea why or how, but both issues have solved themselves. Nothing was installed or uninstalled, and my phone is back to normal.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
I'm having the exact same problems with my G2. If the Evo and G2 are anything like many of the other phones out there, they use a magnet to switch into car mode.

My problems started when I first started using a belt pouch with a magnetic closure - before I knew about the magnet/car mode thing.

Has your phone been exposed to a magnet for any period of time?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
On my G2 I did a SuperWipe and then installed a new ROM and the problem was solved.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weidnerj:
I believe that the car dock mode is regulated by the pin out of the power cable. Recall it being that two of the ground wires are attached in the car dock and not in regular power cable mode.

Also in car dock application, you can go into the menu option and turn it off so that the car dock application isn't the default action when it senses that connection.

I actually own the car dock, but hate the application since I usually only dock the phone when in GPS mode.

I've had the same problem for a month now anybody find a solution really annoying at this point.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
I had Car Dock starting for no reason on my phone. What I was found was that launching Car Dock was done so by certain pins in the Micro USB port on the phone. What was happening to me was that the Micro USB plug on my charger was messed up in a way that made the phone think it was plugged into the dock instead of just a regular charger. I bought a new charger on Ebay for like $3 and never had the problem again.

I've read that some people have Car Dock launch without their phone being plugged in. Almost all of them noticed that they had some sort of tiny debris within the usb port that was crossing the pins and causing the app to launch. Cleaning out the port with something like a toothpick should help eliminate that possibility.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbo10:
Yes I read that as well, and tried cleaning the port with a soft tooth brush and compressed air and didn't help. the most annoying part is the load speaker is the default for incoming/outgoing calls and the media volume is stuck on full, much to load for headphones. More than likely the pins are touching and so small that I can't see them much less straiten them out. Trying to find someone who can solder a new port, so if anybody has sent there evo to have the port fix with good results I would appreciate a good recommendation.

thank

[EVO 4G General] Wicked1ab:
I'm thinking of switching to sprint, which means a new phone (yay) and as I browse my phone options I hear a lot of good things about the Evo. My question for you guys is, is the evo shift pretty much the same as the evo just with the slide out keyboard? is one somehow "better" in some aspects then the other? I would love to have the keyboard but to be honest I usually use the on screen one anyways on my current phone (Tmobile G2).

My second question is, which other phones would you say are worth considering as well?

Lastly, I'm also thinking of switching to Verizon when the Thunderbolt comes out. The main reason I'm switching is because I'm pissed off that Tmobile is cutting my internet speed after I reach 5 GB bandwidth and I know that Sprint and Verizon are the two providers that don't do that. However It appears that Verizon will charge you a higher fee once you go over 10gb bandwidth, which would be ok if the Thunderbolt is really cool :)
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
The Shift is basically the G2. The Evo is basically the Thunderbolt. The Evo has more dev support
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
The thunderbolt is a bump from the Evo but the Evo so far got some great developer suppport , thunderbolt might see that but is kind of late to.come out with a phone like that from HTC and verizon, so imo I wouldn't get it. The shift has a smaller screen not ffc but it has a near procesor.so is practicly faster then the Evo, I'll say wait till CTIA to see if sprint got something even better for June :)
[EVO 4G General] Warrior 3000:
i like the evo 4g over the shift. IMO i think there is no point of having a slide out keyboard if you have a touch screen. i love touch screen keyboards. as far as the screen i LOVE how big the evos screen is. it makes my texting and just overall looking at the phone better.

All the possible combinations of buttons

Trying to get it to connect with adb on 3 different computers

Tried to see if the usb connection was read by the linux kernel

I had the same experience last week. Took several tries, but I finally got back in and flashed a new ROM onto it.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
The three button fix requires you to flash a new sbl, right? Chances are pretty high that you permanently bricked your phone and a jig won't do you any good. If the jig doesn't work (and I don't expect it to), you have one of two choices: Buy a riff box and revive your phone by taking out the motherboard and connecting it to the riff box, or mail it back to Samsung and have them do it for you.

Note that using the riff box will definitely void your warranty and Samsung will be able to tell that you took it apart in the event that you eventually send it back to them. Custom roms and bricking supposedly void your warranty, but if you're clever enough over the phone, they'll be none the wiser. Especially in your situation, where the phone doesn't do anything when the power button is pressed.
[Captivate General] masterkoppa:
Thanks to all for your help and will update this thread on what happens for future reference. The jig did not work so the next step is to go beg at an AT&T store for a new phone... Here goes nothing.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Just tell them the official 2.2 update did it. "My phone turned off by itself while I was trying to do the update through kies".

Also, if you deal with Samsung directly, they'll mail you back the same phone, so if you got one of the lucky ones with a functioning GPS, you might want to hang on to it by dealing with Samsung instead of ATT.
