He's talking about people that use it to get out of paying the etf...for instance they download torrents 247 just to get excessive roam instead of just using it for Verizon coverage...I read it pretty clear, don't know what's wrong with everyone
[EVO 4G General] thabet22:
i totally 100% agree with the op
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
i kinda agree but then again i understand why they are doing it been fighting with data speeds to the point i thought about doing the prl hack to get released from my 5 phone contract
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I just hate to see good things come to an end because of a select few. Prices are going to go up, no doubt, but there's no sense in having them go up faster. It's a lose-lose situation. Customers get less for their money and employee's get less (benefits).
[EVO 4G General] thedudejdog:
so, what you're bringing to my attention is that there is a way to get out of my contract without an etf?

this is news to me and probably several others. I had no idea there was a vzw prl hack. can you explain in great detail how this is done and what I should search Google for?

oh wait I guess you just did in the OP.

thanks.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Reading > You.
[EVO 4G General] thedudejdog:
all i'm saying is if something is bad and you don't want people doing it, probably not the best idea to draw attention to it. just let it die.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Or you can educate them that by doing this hack you won't be let go ETF free as proof of address is still required to have ETF waived.
[EVO 4G General] raul602:
can anyone give me a link on how to do this? I would love to test out the speeds on it

Although I see where you're going with this, we are a very small percentage of the Evo owners. And a smaller amount of rooted Evo owners that actually user this hack. I know quite a few Evo owners that don't even want to root their phone, one of them being my wife. If Sprint set their plans up like TMO, where I could bring a paid off phone to their network and pay less monthly since I wasn't on a subsidized phone then it would different. Rates are determined partially about how providers will recover phone costs, and that is the ETF (obviously), but what about all the people that have paid there phone off by contract and continue to pay the same rates. This came to my attention, or rather opened my eyes when I wanted to add my daughter on our family plan with a blackberry that I had laying around. And even though it was paid off, it still required a 2 year activation..WTF...i didn't understand when I wasn't buying a subsidized phone, since I wanted the ability to shut the phone off for grades, behavior, etc. I mean why would I be responsible for etf for a phone that wasn't subsidized. I wish a plan similar to TMO would come to other providers.

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You can start a line without a contract if you bring your own phone, don't let anyone tell you any different.
[EVO 4G General] mustangboy88:
I encourage you to call Sprint yourself and clarify that. That is not the case when adding a new line. I can activate a phone under my line and not affect my contract, but adding a line is different.

I am wanting to get Fastboot commands working on my Evo, Currently when I try a command they do not work. I read that I need a different H-Boot for fastboot to run correctly on my phone. So searching I found the correct H-Boot, but it seems my partitions are wrong for the H-Boot. Here is what my set up is...

CM7

Hardware 0003

H-Boot 2.10.0001 S-OFF via Unrevoked

Baseband 2.15.000.11.19

PRI 1.90_003

Software 3.70.651.1

When I run "cat /proc/mtd" in shell I am 00040000 for erasesize

Is there a work around I can do? I found a way to fool H-Boot into thinking its .76 BUT it says NOT to use the method if I have new partitions, erasesize 00040000, which I have :(

Could I RUU to a earlier software, then apply the .76 H-Boot, or will my 0003 hardware cause conflicts? So much dev for the Evo, but so many restrictions on what you can and cant do, depending on hardware, h-boot, baseband, its crazy! lol If it is possible please give as much info as you can. I dont want to get even more confused on what I can and cant do to get fastboot up and running :)

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you've fooled HBOOT, kudos to you. But the latest HBOOT isn't downgradable, and if you RUU on your current software, it'd take you back to stock blah blah, but I think on the current HBOOT. I don't have all the answers, but I think you may be stuck on this one...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
No, I havent fooled it. I found a thread on how to, but not with my partitions sizes, I have the 40k partitions. So that being said I can not as of yet downgrade my H-Boot to ENG .76 :( I thought to myself, I am still S-OFF so I should be able to flash simple splash screen, nope!

c:\android-sdk\tools>fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565

sending 'splash1' (750 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.350s]

writing 'splash1'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.354s

Seems I cant do that because of the way I rooted, Unrevoked. I had the HTC Hero a while back and that phone was so easy to mess with. Then I played with a Intercept, trash! I got a LG Optimus S, another phone that is a PIA! Now I got my dream phone, been wanting a Evo since it cam out, 2 months after I got my Hero, grrrrrrrr :mad: Anyway, now that I have a Evo I cant do as I was able to do with my Hero. I thought because it was HTC it would be the same. The other 2 phones not being HTC was the problem, lol. I guess these phone companies are doing more and more to try and lock the end user out of rooting the device. Sucks for us who want to be flashing this or that, in any method we choose.

Now that I am done ranting, lol It looks like most of the stuff i want to do can be done via PC36IMG.zip's. Flashing recoveries, flashing splash screens, radios, all that junk. Is there a good thread explaining how to create these zip's and what they can and cant be used for?

Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
My replacement evo came with 3.70, hw003, hboot 2.10, 2000 erasesize and I still downgraded my hboot to .76. It's the newer block sizes and hw004 that have problems downgrading.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
There's a thread on Android Central HERE that explains how to make a flashable PC36IMG.zip splash screen. i assume the process for any other PC36IMG.zip is similar.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I have hardware 0003 but its is equipped with new partitions 40k size. Are you saying I can downgrade Hboot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Thanks for the link!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
You could try and theoretically it "could" work but I can't say for sure because there haven't been much reports of the 40k sized 003hw's having success with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I see, so theoretically it could also brick me. I am within my 30 days, and have a dead pixel. Thing is they know I root my phones, they were checking out my wifes LG Optimus S with 2.3 and were really interested on how to root. One of the reps wants to root his Evo but is scared due to all the versions and what not. Cant say I blame him, but you think working for sprint they can easily get a replacement phone, no?

Has anyone had success with hardware 0003 and NEW partitions (40,000 block size), or have anyone bricked while trying?

Thanks for input :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
My girl got her Evo in December. It's an 003 model but I'm not sure about the partition size as that is news to me. I rooted with whatever version of Unrevoked was out at the time, and simply grabbed the .76 hboot from Toast's part 2 thread and flashed it. It worked without any issue.....in this case. After I did that, I read that a lot of people were having trouble downgrading to the engineering SPL and were bricking, and I breathed a heavy sigh of relief that it didn't happen to me and my girl's 4 hour old Evo. lol

Come to think about it, I don't even know why I did it to her phone. I always experiment with my own phone before flashing anything new on hers, so in retrospect, downgrading to that hboot in her phone just for fastboot commands was a risk not worth taking.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xi.lin:
I have an old Rhodium100 recent days and i found it could only charged when connect to usb.

I have tried to enter bootloader, but only see serial not usb.

Also i tried the usb settings in the phone and nothing helps.

I search in the forum and see many similar problems and many solution is to repair the usb jack by HTC. Someone point out that use a canned air may help..

But the phone is so old that i'm sure it's out of warrant...

What's the best solution?

Thx~
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xi.lin:
What's more, usb is not that important for me since i could have the data transfer by wifi & google exchanges, have sd card to flash new roms.

But what i care is one day the nand android success and must i use usb to connect my phone to flash it?

Anyone have a problem with downloading skins i have downloaded newest version of BW any fix for that ?

Sent from my Desire HD!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_felge:
Hi there,

I'm using BW 3.4 and everything works like charme!

No problems with downloading or using any of the skins themes, etc!

Everything is fine!

Did you try to un- and reinstall?

Rgds
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azazel71:
also using 3.4 and every now and then mine will revert back to its base skin but only when i connect to the pc so dont really consider it a problem,and no probs with downloading skins perhaps a reinstall will work for you
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slig06:
BW 3.4 works ok for me too
[Desire HD Accessories] Penecho:
Hi guys, i was wondering how to best protect the Camera of the DHD? Since its "looking out" of the device...

I planned to just put it in the pockets of my Jeans without any protection, but i figured that the camera lens might be damaged eventually?

So what can i do to protect the lens from beeing damaged??
[Desire HD Accessories] panyan:
i found the best way to stop it getting scratch was to get a pair of pliers and pull the lens from the housing. I dont worry about the lens getting scratched any more when i put the phone in my pocket becuase the lens is in my drawer at home :)

it had a detrimental effect on image quality, but it was worth it :p
[Desire HD Accessories] pittas:
You may as well buy a safekeep , store the phone in it , lock the damn box and never care again.

That would beat your method hands down :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Accessories] Penecho:
Hehe yeah well, i used all my phones without any protection, but im kind of worried that it will brakeaway somehow...

With the HD2 i had at least the leather thingy that came with it.
[Desire HD Accessories] 917:
The HD2 leather bag should fit your DHD too (tried it with my dad's)
[Desire HD Accessories] siddsm:
I use the HD2's leather pouch to carry around the DHD. fits perfectly.
[Desire HD Accessories] Shambik:
maybe get a screen protector and cut a piece to fit the lens ??
[Desire HD Accessories] imptb:
get an otterbox defender it has a protective plastic on the lens cutout:)
[Desire HD Accessories] Ehrles:
The defender is a great case but way to heavy and bulky for a normal person. A piece of a screenprotector should offer enough protection.

Or otterbox commuter+ piece of a screenprotector
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
Some screen protectors come with an extra piece for the camera lens.

The Martin Fields Overlay Plus for example.

tbh, all the same I am not sure if the piece of plastic/glass which covers the lens will ever get noticeably damaged.

Previous experience with an Xperia X1 (built by HTC, for what it's worth), without protecting the "lens", I had no problems whatsoever with damage there.
[Desire HD Accessories] muhsli:
I think something like that could affect the photos.. would'nt even try it
[Desire HD Accessories] Syrianto:
I purchased the Martin Fields protector and it came with a front cover as well as a camera cover. It doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect to the image quality and I feel more comfortable with it on. Only downside is that it's a pretty expensive screen protector D=

DESCRIPTION​

The game of life is actually a cellular automaton devised by the mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.

It's sort of a virtual world where many cells are living.

They reproduce and die under certain conditions.

This game does not need the player itself (kind of zero-player game), but we can make it more interactive by adding special patterns that will evolve in specific ways, or by changing the rules of the world, for instance.

The main features of my implementation are:

¤ Play / Pause / Reset / Random Buttons

¤ Changing the speed

¤ Changing the size of the world

¤ The world is shaped like a torus

¤ Changing the color:

- United

- Random

- Gradient

¤ Changing the shape of cells (11 available)

¤ Become master of the world by changing the rules:

- 12 predefined rules

- Create your own rules

¤ Library patterns (over 50):

- Oscillators

- Ships

- Guns

- Space fillers

- Other

¤ Possibility of sending patterns by email

¤ Create life or destroy it, simply by touching the screen!

For any bug, suggestion or information contact me at:

sim.dev.android@gmail.com

NOTE:

- Available in French and English

- Compatible with all screens

- Compatible with all android versions

I can't cause I have not enough sended messages (still a rookie).

But you can see them on the android web market (the adresse is at the end of my presentation) ;)

I will add them as soon as I can
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
I just corrected some little bugs.

I invite you to update the application and leave your opinion or a mark on the Android Market.

It is always pleasant for novice developers.

[Android Apps and Games] barneszilla:
Fail
[Android Apps and Games] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Awesome idea. Just read about this game of life in a Stephen Hawkings book.
[Android Apps and Games] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Hahaha, I just had an idea:

What about a live wallpaper? :D You might have to make it look nicer and less dominant, but it would be fun and kinda nerdy, if you always had those "organisms" reproducing in the background :D
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Fail ? Why ?

Never heard about it...

You're not the first to tell me that.

I will start creating a live Wallpaper.

But what do you mean about "make it look nicer and less dominant" ?
[Android Apps and Games] Andrenap:
I love Game Of Life.I even made a (newbie) javascript version of it... Thx for the great app! The Live Wallpaper idea is actually pretty nice. If you do it, I'll surely give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Well, right now, I would not want it as my wallpaper. It looks nice as an app, but a wallpaper should be more "beautiful" and/or simple. After all, it is supposed to be the background.

Imagine your app design with other widgets and icons over it, the whole screen would look quite overloaded. Do you get what I mean? (english ain't my native language :))

But you could keep the mechanism of the app for customizing the colours and so on.

I don't even know if I would actually use it. Depends on how it will look. So, if you got other stuff to do, do that first. The wallpaper is not really a high priority for me. I just like the app and the idea itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Ehsan Mahmood:
Over all the game play is not much attractive but still its fine. 6/10
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
I do not quite understand... Customization of the background and the cells color is already available on the app'... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] HardAndroid:
thanks a lot for this app'.

When would you release the LiveWallpaper ?

I'm so excited :p
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Be patient ;)

I'm developping it.

But it will last at least 2weeks...

Tell me what kind of feature you would like to have on this wallpaper (new features of course) or anything else.
[Android Apps and Games] DuckySpud:
Haha, love!! I had to program a version of this myself in my first year at university and had forgotten all about it! As others have said, would be a pretty good idea as a Live Wallpaper but would obviously need some sort of loop on there incase all the cells died or just became stable blocks... otherwise it could quickly become a rather dull wallpaper :p
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Don't worry.

A shake or a tap will randomize or add living cells ;)
[Android Apps and Games] HardAndroid:
2 weeks ... its too long, I cant wait :D

For any new features, I don't really kwno for the moment... but just keep the same actuals features (colors, shapes, sizes...)
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
^^, no problem, i'll keep these. For the moment I'm learning PreferencesActivity... It's the only way to modify the wallpaper.

I'll inform you of the progress.
[Android Apps and Games] HardAndroid:
Something that is missing is the ability to zoom in and zoom out. (without destroying and randomize the world)
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Alright, I just finished it.

It will be available on the next update ;)
[Android Apps and Games] HardAndroid:
2 others problems I found :

- The speed slider is not easy to use (always too slow or too fast...)

- When we change the orientation of the device, it "restart"
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Here is a new update.

What's new on this version (v1.4):

- Fixed a problem when clicking on a single cell

- Ability to zoom in and out without destroying the world

- Blocking the screen orientation (source of bugs)

The next update will show the patterns submitted by users, then send yours ;)
[Android Apps and Games] x86-Dark:
I cant find the game on the market!

It says "Not compatible", i have a Galaxy S...
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Are you sure ?

I have 10% of Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) users

and about 5% of Samsung Galaxy S (SGH-I897) users...

What are the details of your phone ?
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Have you tried to download it from the web market ?
[Android Apps and Games] HardAndroid:
Thanks for the update ;)

The zoom is far better than previously !
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Your welcome ;)

Right now I'm building a new gallery of patterns.

So I really need your patterns to fill a new section :

The Hall Of Fans

Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] HardAndroid:
I just send you some of my favorite patterns.

I hope the new update will come soon, in order to see other new cool patterns :D
[Android Apps and Games] germanhoss:
Just found your app - really nice :)

I love playing with these life-cell-sims since my old Atari ST. I´ll have a look, if I find my old disks with some nice patterns - if they are still readable LOL

It´s a perfect time-waster for the daily waiting-times too short to read in a book and too long for a quick cig.

What I miss is a "hand-tool" to move the space with the cells in it. This would be very convinient for following the moving patterns or to place a gun in a corner of the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
Oh thanks ;)

I never heard about such a game in Atari ST... But I hope you will find new patterns.

For the Hand-tool, I'm really sorry but I'm not good enough to program it.

Maybe I'll be capable in the next month :S
[Android Apps and Games] germanhoss:
LOL - nope, it wasn´t a game in the strict sense - just a little life simulation prog, where you had to fill in the appropriate rules and then you started the sim. Similar progs were available for calculating Mandelbrot functions etc.

I even made a little zoom-in Mandelbrot movie on my Atari - in black and white and about 2 minutes long. The poor compi was working the whole night for it :D
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
And it was smoking, uh ? ^^
[Android Apps and Games] germanhoss:
Nope - the 8 Mhz weren´t definitely not capable to produce enough heat to melt the plastic :D

Mostly I used that machine together with a needle printer to write some papers for university. I also made a small weekly newspaper for our faculty on it. The name of the proggie was (errrm thinkthink - ha, got it): Calamus

Because I had a model with only 1 and not 4 MB RAM I was forced to kick the thesaurus out of the RAM to be capable to work on more than one page :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
I need a back button.

Is it possible?
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
A back button ? Why ?
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Okay sorry for my short request.

I explain what i mean ...

If I make an Pattern with your program and press the "play" to look how fine it looks like and if there are some modification i want do on my patter it would easy wit a back button do go to there first (how i set my pattern befor the start.)

Hope you understand now what i mean.
[Android Apps and Games] Wasmachinator:
I also cant download it for my galaxy s.

i had the same with another game (zombie outbreak beta) and the developer had activated some market "security" things while publishing the app that blocked it for some people to be able to download it.

maybe it's the same case here..
