Haha I also came from a Hero. I only really ever knew Sense on that phone because it was my first android experience. By the time I started learning what AOSP and Vanilla Android was, I bought my Evo.

Talk about an upgrade. I don't hate sense tho, I just prefer roms like CM right now for various reasons. I am very interested in trying out the new sense on the 3d. I am afraid a lot of the features on that phone will be tied into sense... so it better be good!

[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
I just don't like the UI design. I tried to get used to it for about a day but ultimately just found the interface really not to my liking. I haven't used an iphone since the original 2g one (my brother in law had one, and I played around with it a bit) but if this is how modern iphones are, then its yet another reason why I prefer android.

Every time I try a Non-sense Rom or a non-htc phone I keep going back to my Evo and my Sense-based roms or sense dialer roms. I cant stand the dialer on stock android or the blur dialer. It saves time and effort and I put up with alot of crap on sense that I would not if I could get a dialer that was just as good.
[EVO 4G General] aldldl:
I was told this (opera) was not very secure due to taking traffic and reshaping/optimizing it through opera's servers before it came back to the phone proxy style. I go on sites that I have to login to and sites that my work place requires secure(ish) connections to which stops me from using it.

Do you know if the have changed any of those behaviors?
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
Aaahhhh, had not taken that into consideration, and yes, now that I think about it, that would not work with a few sites i goto. hm.

and as far as I know, no, that is still true. too bad, the render engine is slick.
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
The Dialer One app recommended on the other page seems to be pretty good, I've been using it for a day and it at least lets you do the same kind of dialing as the sense rom, and has a good amount of options. The sense one is still better, but at least this one shows the time of the call, the one thing the sense dialer lacked unless you went into call history.

Does anyone know if there's a sprint tv apk floating around to use on non-sense roms? I don't use it too often, but I did enjoy watching it while waiting in line at the gas station or catching the world cup while I was on my way to a friends place to watch the game.
[EVO 4G General] Johnny Jez:
Good info here, I've been debating CM7 as next Rom.
[EVO 4G General] abanh:
That's Opera Mini that does that. Opera Mobile doesnt, and after the latest update it's my default browser now.
[EVO 4G General] jasongthang:
One thing I miss about Sense, and this is by no means knocking Cyanogen (I absolutely love it!), is the dialer. More specifically, the call log. I want to be able to tap someone's name in the call log, and it automatically calls them, not bring up the entire history of calls to that person, and then click on one of those times, and then have to click on "call so-and-so". I also miss the nice calendar widget that Sense has, I know launcher pro has it but I like my cyanogenized/gingerbread home screen

On the plus side, Cyanogen seems to connect to Wimax/4g better than Sense, at least for me it does.

An AOSP rom is definitely something to get used to. For about 2 weeks I was ironing out problems with voicemail, gps, apps force closing, etc.

actually, this:
[EVO 4G General] adamantypants:
I don't miss anything at all from Sense roms. It's probably because I only run Sense roms though... :p

Calm down people it's just a joke.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Ill be honest: I HATE all of the dialers on Android. They are all terrible and _years_ behind both the iPhone and even what blackberry had 5 years ago. Every release i hope against hope that Google will finally fix their dialer. Sometimes I'm frustrated enough to consider leaving android until they get their UI act together.

Anyone who is wondering what annoys me so try clicking to call this number on your phone (from your browser, or calendar, or anywhere other than making a custom contact out of it first): +15551212 have fun in google maps

If you want to be more disappointed, ask an iPhone friend to setup a 3-way call and drool in envy at it's efficiency. Android's "phone" aspects are terrible.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
You're right. The dialer is lacking in efficiency. We keep talking about how great it is, without seeing how great is should be.

What I hate is tapping on a contact and it goes right ot the call,when I'd rather have the menu so I can choose call, text, email, which phone number, etc, etc.

I'm sticking with Sense because I just like how it looks, and the speedfactors people talk about, I don't see that. Mine is superfast, no lag.

My question is to the devs: Why don't sense ROMS come with the 3D Gallery and why no toggle for data in the Status Bar pulldown?

I hate the stock Sense Gallery. I sort my pics, etc in folders for a reason and not so that when I go to Gallery, I can get only 3 choices: Wallpapers, Camera Shots and All Photos.
[EVO 4G General] bwolters:
Things like friendstream, Facebook, qik, calendar and your 4 people you contact most is the reason CM exists. You can't get rid of them on sense, Sole reason the evos battery life sucks.
[EVO 4G General] hx3:
Just in case you aren't aware, you can download the 3D Gallery app from the Market and use it on a Sense ROM. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media&feature=search_result
[EVO 4G General] pjsnyc:
The facebook app. Works for me and I'm not logged into facebook via sense.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Oone of the drawbacks on the Sense dialer is that it overwrites any custom contact pic you use with the facebook pic, if you have it synched to that particular contact.
[EVO 4G General] pjsnyc:
I completely forgot about that drawback! I probably forgot cuz the dialer is way more functional in every other way than any other I've used.
[EVO 4G General] Uchennadi:
Completely agree with Justin. Coming from a blackberry, I was used to being able to click on a number on any screen on the phone, it didn't matter what app it was on, and have it dialed straight away. Now I literally have to write the number down, and then dial it in the dialer. Its not a big deal, but its the little things like that that make me wish android was a bit more integrated with its various apps.

And for those on CM7 that have to go thru an unusual number of steps in your call log before you can call a contact, there's a toggle in the dialer preferences called "show dial button" under call log you could use to hasten the process.

Or better yet, I just use google search, to which the search button is linked on most phones I assume. Make sure in the settings, you're able to search your contacts. Tap where the picture goes of the contact you're looking up (you don't even have to type the whole name to start seeing results), and select from the various options that pop up.

This will make calling, texting, emailing, etc a contact so much more efficient, you'll forget all abt the sense dialer, tehe.
[EVO 4G General] huludical:
I miss the camera as well... so so much
[EVO 4G General] ipbron:
Yea i switched back to Sense. It is for me more complete and stable. But i do like the pureness of Cynogemmod. But it seems the future of android involves locked boot loaders so i rather have the more future prooth experience,
[EVO 4G General] Jfree3000:
I actually installed the Sprint Lovers Rom after using AOSP roms for so long. CM is a great rom but its still too buggy for me, I keep getting random f/c and other problems and to be honest it just doesn't look as polished as a Sense rom. When they first posted the Sprint Lovers rom I laughed thinking "why the hell would I got back to a stock phone?" but now I really like it and its as smooth as an AOSP rom.

The one thing I haven't gotten to use and will miss already is using the wiimote on emulators since we have full HDMI now. Can't use the wiimote on Sense :( .
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
I thought I read that the Evo 3d wasn't going to have a locked loader, or was that found to be false?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
False. The evo has a locked boot loader as well. It is encrypted that is bad.

[Nook Color General] fungo45:
I rooted a Nook Color using autonooter and then decided to sell it. Since I had all my personal google app info on it, I returned it back to stock using the 8x reboot method, and then re-rooted it. Part of the root process what the I needed to register the device to B&N and also have a gmail account for the root process. So I created a dummy B&N account using a new gmail account.

I showed the device to the buyer, and he was satisfied. I explained all of this to him and showed him that it was registered on B&N with a dummy name and gmail account. I explained that to get his gmail on there, he just needed to add his account through the settings.

But now that we wants to buy some books, I think he's running into trouble with the device being registered under a dummy name.

So, the question is (finally) can he just de-register the device and put his info info it (and keep the root status) or will he have to unroot it and then do it all over?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
yep. restore to stock and register it himself. then he can root it himself.
[Nook Color General] fungo45:
Thanks for the quick reply. Any clue what happens if he de-registers it before returning it to stock?
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
I don't know what de-registering is. Your ebooks are linked to the email account, not the nook itself. Sell the nook, keep your email, keep your ebooks.
[Nook Color General] fungo45:
There's an option in the settings to de-register your device. I assume it's for cases like this where you sell the nook to someone else. What I don't know is if you do this, will it un-root it as well, or can he simply de-register it and re-register it to his info.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
It shouldn't unroot it, although I can't say for sure. Besides, if it does unroot it, it's easy enough to reroot. It's a better option to try this and see what happens than to reflash a stock rom first.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Ever since upgrading to AT&T 2.2, I have a had an issue that on every other reboot, the phone radio does not turn on. I am not getting a SIM error, or any other error indication, nor does the phone go to airplane mode (bluetooth and wifi work). If I check phone settings, I get phone # unknown and no phone signal. Once I shut the phone down and turn it back on again, phone service is back.

I'd suspect a SIM issue, but this did not happen on 2.1. Could this be a bad flash (I could not get Kies Mini to push the firmware, I had to install via Odin)? Has anyone else seen this kind of flakiness?
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Bump

Is anyone else seeing intermittent issues of the phone thinking it doesn't have a SIM installed? The good news is that I have not had two reboots in a row with this problem, the bad news is that I do see this on nearly 50% of boots.
[Captivate General] sepherian:
I dont have the problem, if it does happens it only happens like once a week for me, it usually fixes it by going into airplane and back to regular
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I tried that. On my phone, that does not remedy the situation. The SIM itself has not moved since the update (I can't remember if I pulled it when I ran the upgrade), so I don't think it's a loose contact.
[Captivate General] sepherian:
att can fix

Bring the SIM and phone into ATT, they will fix it for you there, hopefully for free, that could work, just unroot before and unflash if you did, then say you have SIM problems and then tell them that you had it in during the update, sometimes that causes problems
[Captivate General] rufex2001:
I have this same issue. Yesterday after about 5 reboots the phone would not pick up any signal... at times and after several minutes, some signal would show up and then disappear again... After about the fifth time, I turned off WiFi, because it had been on the whole time and that fixed the problem. Signal came back after a while and was stable. Turning WiFi back on did not bring back the problem. I guess Froyo just does not like the WiFi being on when booting the phone. Hopefully this can help others fix this same issue when encountered.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawyeradam:
So i'm sitting here at work with a new Battery Monitor Widget. I downloaded it because my EVO has had the tendency lately to discharge even while plugged into a wall outlet. I generally use it for streaming radio and originally used USB to keep it plugged in at my desk, but then decided that may be why it's not charging. It doesn't always do it, sometimes it charges correctly. Right now, for instance, it shows Charging (green) AC Plugged (green) and Current 46ma(Red). It's been plugged in since 7 am and there's only 7% battery left. I'm not streaming, 4g is off, wifi is off, I used task mgr to close all open apps and it's still in the red. Any ideas? I'm rooted with the Elite I rom. Thx!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
Does it charge if you actually turn the phone off and leave it plugged into the wall? If not, then it might be either the battery or the USB port. Another thing to consider is the USB cable, are you using the same one to plug into the wall as the one you used when you were charging via PC? If so, try a different cable.

Just in case it is the USB Port, you could try cleaning it out with some 70% or 90% isopropyl and some sort of tiny rag or something (creativity may be required.) Obviously you'd want to make sure the phone is turned off at the time.

I have successfully rooted my HTC Inspire. But the screen goes blank when using 'Reboot into Recovery' option from Rom Manager. I know some folks were able to resolve this by turning ENG S-Off.
