Nice, glad it worked for you. Unrevoked is easy, and has worked fine for me many times. Just uninstall htc sync from your computer, install the hboot drivers, be sure no programs on your computer can try to communicate with your evo, and run unrevoked. That's it. Just read up before diving in.

Edit: Here's a good tutorial on how to properly use Unrevoked. I've seen a bunch of people have problems with it, but I've always followed these instructions, and I've never had trouble on any of the Evo's I've rooted. Just don't use the files linked in that post, as they're most likely out of date. Download Unrevoked and the hboot drivers from the Unrevoked site, in the 'more info' section. Good luck.

Thanks again for your help! I'm very familiar with Android. But HTC's are just totally different than my Samsung Galaxy so the processes are different. Bought the EVO with the Intent on fixing the boot Issue, and using it as an "Android Alternative" to an iPod Touch/MP3 Player. I don't have service with Sprint either. But I paid $50 for the EVO, and it's specs simply B****slap the iPod's. Gonna Root it, Throw an Otterbox on it, and give Steve Jobs the finger once again!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
You're welcome

Haha, nice! Damn, you bought it for $50 dollars !!@@>>?? I should try to find an evo that won't boot for 50 bucks and see if I can fix it. You got a good deal on it, is it in otherwise good shape? You can still use it on wifi too, don't forget. And you'll still have a ton more functions to use in addition to Mp3. (video, other cools apps/games, and don't forget, we have FULL HDMI mirroring for the Evo now) Good luck with your Evo, and I edited my previous post with more clear instructions on how to use unrevoked.

And yea, the Samsung Galaxy S is completely different, as far as flashing methods and terminology at least. I was just reading up on rooting and flashing for Fascinate's (to help a friend out), and I felt like a complete noob again. I had to read quite a bit to catch on to things over there. It was a completely different world!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
As k2buckley said, always need to keep the radios up to date, but you should be fine now. And though rooting is the same, its different for each device. I'm soon gona root my girl friend's desire, and I had to get all the things now and do my reading so when she comes to visit I know what I'm doing. :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02busa:
Yeah, I've gotta replace the digitizer.. Ordered one already. Got an Otterbox Commuter on the way also.. I'll have roughly $100 in it, and it kicks the $hit outta any iPod or iPhone out there...

Yeah, The Galaxy S line of phones is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more of a pain in the ass considering every variant has a different firmware version. Thinking i'm gonna jump to GSM soon and pop my sim card in whatever phone i wanna use that day.. lol. I like the specs of the Galaxy S II http://galaxys2.samsungmobile.com/html/specification.html

Also thanks for the help, it can definately be a pain jumping from dealing with one phone to the other.. especially at 2a.m. things start to run together.. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02busa:
Yeah can definately be annoying jumping between phones...

I know this has been covered a number of times in the reviews and such from Anandtech and other personal reviews but does anyone else feel the contrast on the Xoom is lacking?

I just came from an iPad1 (and still use an iPhone4) and am a total Android newb. I find that playing movies on my Xoom leaves a lot to be desired in the color department. The contrast really isnt super and leaves a lot of colors looking very similar in the movies I've tried so far.

Is this exclusively a screen design or is there an ability with the Android OS to tweak some of that as Honeycomb gets further along.
[Xoom General] ryan562:
The tweaks might have to be made or enabled from within the kernel. I haven't seen this type of dev work on motorola devices in the past but I've seen a ton of it done for Samsung android handsets such as the Galaxy S phone line and the Nexus S, of which I am currently running a modified kernel which allows me to adjust the color settings to the Super Amoled screen aka Voodoo colorfix. With this kernel, I can literally change the red green and blue gamma settings and color adjustments as I please using the Voodoo Control app from the market.

Hopefully, we could see some thing like this done for the Xoom.
[Xoom General] cranch:

"XOOM Picture Quality is WORSE than iPad2 [Sadly]

Just wanted to drop in. We are reading all these threads with interest. It really helps to get this kind of detailed feedback.

There are some things that can be done via software to try to meet the expectations of more Xoom owners. So, we're not sitting on our hands. I've been told there will be adjustments in future software updates to address at least some of the concerns you've expressed.

I have Continuum ROM installed on my device, but the only problem I have is the dialer. For god knows what reason, the middle button is the message button with the dial button off to the left. Since there is a dedicated messaging app, I don't see why it should be in the middle when this is the dialer.

Any way to get the stock dialer back?

Depends on how skyfire does it. If it deals with the flash content server side, then ye. It should work. It it tries to load the flash plugin client side then you have the same problem as with stock browser ;)

I'd be perfectly happy if I got 5/1 on 4G.

Yeah, .5 million people in the valley (Boise, Idaho), and 3G has been 30kbps for months. This past week, however, I've seen 600/600 on 3G in a few areas, but then it randomly drops to 1x, too.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I've gotten 7-8 down a few times here but it's usually around 6. That being said, I can get 7 down on one server and .5 down on another not thirty seconds later. It all depends on the server and how many connections are between you and it. Closer is not always better either.

edit: That is pretty damn impressive though, Sprints definitely needs to widen the bandwidth or do something. I would love pings like that too...
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Yeah, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I think Sprint's servers are just f'ed up.

Hey guys.

I currently have both an evo an an epic. In your honest opinion, which is worth more to sell? (I don't mean support etc I mean dollar value.)

Thanks :)
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
Hmm...well, they both go for the same price (after rebates) at the Sprint store. Obviously this is an Evo forum...I think the Evo would go for more, but it really depends on who answers your ad.

If I were you, I'd sell the Epic, just because I think you'd get more interest in a phone with a physical keyboard...

pretty sure epic is priced higher if u buy without an upgrade or discounts

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutz6:
First of all may I say I have searched for this problem on google, as well as xda forum. I did find several threads about this problem, but none of the solutions presented appear to be my case.

So, basically the problem is: I cannot connect to my home router, a Linksys WRT300N N-router. I could not connect with a N1, HTC Desire, nor with my actual NS. My previous Galaxy S was connecting fine though. I'm talking here about stock ROM, no rooting, no custom kernel etc. Also, using static IP address works like a charm, but then WiFi cannot be used on other outside routers, since Static Ip setting is not setup PER router, but rather per WiFi connection, meaning the phone will try to use the static IP defined for any WiFi I run into.

From My experience, it seems it could be related to wireless N router as opposed to b/g. This happened since I replaced my router with the actual one. Ever since this happened, my phone would not connect to my router. Also, this problem seems to be presentfor any N-router, since I cannot connect to WiFi in other locations as well (which might have N-routers as well).

Assuming that it is a problem with N-routers, I don't understand why the Galaxy S would connect, but NS not, since they are almost the same hw.

Does anyone have a clue on this? But please skip solutions like reset router, reset phone, reset modem, use different ROM etc. I am talking stock ROM for all the examples above.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikhailCompo:
I use my NS with three 802.11N routers without issue (D-Link, Belkin and Netgear).

Have you checked if MAC filtering on the router is active? What security mode are you using? Who makes yr router and does it have latest fw?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikhailCompo:
Just seen you use Linksys, I have a wag160n and I find it unsusable on terms of wifi, dreadful hardware, despite the parent company being Cisco

Check Linksys forums for problems.

Try another router for whether it's that or phone at fault.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutz6:
MAC filtering is disabled, I've checked it. Security is, on the router, PSK-Personal with TKIP encryption. Key renewal: 7200 sec. Not sure if this can influence anything.

I've checked on linksys page for fw upgrade, they only have pdf manuals. :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExMM:
Have you checked that you set up the router with b/g/n protocols? not only N..

Try to change the password encrypting method, to WPA or WPA2 or WEP, try also to change the default password.

Have you tried to disable the firewall (DMZ)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
I have exactly the same issue on my stock Desire.....

I have recently upgraded my router from a Belkin G+ to a Belkin N+ and using the b/g/n setting the desire WILL see the connection but will NOT connect to it, NO MATTER WHAT settings you try. Changing it to b/g and it will connect without any issues.

It is my understanding that the Desire/Nexus et al doesnt have the access to the N ability enabled (it has the correct chipset but for some reason it is not active).

Maybe when broadcasting the tri-band the chipset only sees the stronger N connection, therefore tries to connect but gets conflicted (due to lack of N firmware) and instead of switching to b/g it just loops to the stronger signal. IF that makes any sense :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutz6:
Well, the funny part is that I don't even know how to disable the N range to my Linksys 300N. :(

Anyway, it is weird that the Samsung Galaxy S had no issues with this, while Nexus S (still Samsung made, brother-in-law to SGS) has this issue. For HTC, all have had this problem, including Desire, Desire HD, Wildfire.

Still no explanation or resolution to this matter.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
I may have fixed this issue (well I have for me anyway, so yay).

After posting this I decided to apply some weird logic to it. So I reset the router back to b/g, to do this you need to log into the router IP settings, for Belkin it is 192.168.2.1. On linksys routers I think it is 192.168.1.1 but check to be sure.

Once you are logged in there you can change the broadcast settings from N, b/g/n or b/g etc.

Okay, so here is what I did. I reset the router to broadcast b/g only, my Desire would connect. So I decided to try resetting the router to broadcast b/g/n (because I use N on other devices) and then switched the wifi on the desire off and back on again. Low and behold it connects.......Tried it loads of times now and connects everytime!

Might be worth a try?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kit:
You guys should just check the logs on the router and see what they say. Should give you a much better idea of what the issue is. You can then Google the error line.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Mine is fixed now, been connecting to various N routers with NO probs since I did the workaround.

My guess would be a protocol conflict (wireless handshake if you prefer) when N routers are broadcasting (based on the fact that the Desire/Nexus etc dont have N protocol enabled in the chipset firmware).

To get around the conflict connect to an N router using the b/g only setting in the routers IP settings and then check you can connect okay and switch the b/g/n back on in the router. I've done this twice today (different N routers, a Linksys and a D-Link) and it works on both where it wouldnt before, so it wasnt just my router.
