Leathal posted:Edit: CM7 for Evo 3D link for new page  Got it flashed and installed all my junk, I did run into one problem where it would sit at 'installing' forever until I did a reboot. Once I rebooted the installation issue went away and I could install apps again. Other than that I haven't ran into any problems. So awesome to finally have CM7 on this beast.

Your choices are going to be Seesmic, Plume, Twitter for Android, Twicca, HootSuite, TweetDeck, UberSocial, and TweetCaster. So just go ahead and try them all.

My EVO3D randomly started forgetting what the battery level is - the icon displays as a grey battery with an exclamation mark. Checking the battery status in the settings menu fixes it.. for a while. Has anyone else seen this?

Is there a fee for activating a phone via the online activation? I don't think there used to be, but you never know if that's changed.

Battery calibration can get wonky if you are frequently charging your battery in short bursts instead of draining it to something low and then charging to full. Try turning it off and charging it to full, then turning it on while plugged in. Other than that, go buy a new battery.

It's kind of hidden way down in the OP, but it says "PLEASE NOTE: SPRINT.COM NO LONGER WAIVES $36 AND $18 FEES." I wish this wasn't the case, but I don't think there's any way to avoid it.

goku chewbacca posted:Order through telesales over the phone. It's *7 if dialing from a Sprint phone. Steven in the Phillipines was able to waive the upgrade fee without even asking for manager approval. The incentive to waive the new line activation fee should be even greater. Is EPRP possible via telesales though?

Mom never did get that Optimus, but now she's finally ready to upgrade. She's looking at a Shift right now, but at $99, I don't know, the $29 Nexus S looks pretty drat tempting... Of course, the Optimus is still around, but seems less favorable in comparison now. What's the best Android mom phone these days?

Don't bother with the Shift, it's the poorly supported sibling of the Evo 4G. If you want a cheap phone, get the Nexus for sure, at least it will get ICS someday where the Shift will probably never see an update again.

In the mean time, try out CleanROM from XDA. Someone in the rooted thread said they installed it just fine over their stock ROM, but I did a clean wipe. It's awesome, much smoother and has some really nice little tweaks.

EDIT: moolchaba posted:Slashgear review of Samsung Epic Touch 4G I wouldn't lend Samsung a crowbar for fear that it would not be returned in working order. Although the reviewer is pretty awful: quote:We saw average download speeds of 4Mbps and upload speeds of 1.8Mbps. Contrast that with the 13Mbps downloads and 3Mbps uploads we saw on LTE with the DROID BIONIC, and it’s clear WiMAX falls short. I can get 10Mbps download on the 3D over 4G, so it's either their local coverage or the phone itself. It has nothing to do with WiMAX technology in general, but accuracy is not important I guess. 900ftjesus fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Sep 14, 2011 |

moolchaba posted:Slashgear review of Samsung Epic Touch 4G Quadrant is a bad benchmark. Here's why. Also, the tests don't render properly on 2.3 and they're up against the 60 fps vsync cap on the latest hardware. AnandTech posted:Last and definitely least (at least in my mind) on the list is Quadrant, which has unfortunately become something of a de-facto one stop shop for benchmarking Android devices, famously spitting out one easy to digest score. Grab the pro version, and you get subtest scores. Its developers aren't very open about what all is being tested in the suite, the overall score is heavily skewed by I/O performance. Moreover the subtests themselves don't seem heavy enough for this current, much less upcoming, generation of SoCs. Benchmarking tools are rapidly evolving in the mobile space, and I expect to see far better tools quickly displace ones like Quadrant.

Ah ok, yeah they do take a little time but at least for now it still falls under 'cool new toy' feel. I do wish they'd added the CRT on/off animation from AOSP though, that's the one thing I miss from CM7.

It has various tweaks you can flash directly from the app, including CRT animations and various overscroll options.

Well, my wife loves her (still 2.2) Shift, and I think my Mom would be more comfortable with a hardware keyboard, since she's coming from a Rant. And I will not let her buy an Epic. So, I dunno... the Nexus being $29 is a crazy deal. I guess I should just give her a list of top contenders and have her go to a store and play with them.

After restoring the phone, the battery life has gotten somewhere closer to acceptable. I'm thinking that after the iPhone 5 and ICS news I might just go on eBay and buy a Photon. It just looks and feels nicer than the EVO or EVO 3D to me.

There is a Sprint/iPhone thread in YOSPOS, the latest rumor linked there is that the iPhone 4 is what Sprint will get next month, and then the iPhone 5 will be a tri-carrier simultaneous release next spring.

This may be an old topic to bring up, but I was wondering if the issues I have been having with my Epic 4G were out of the ordinary. Since I bought it a year ago, the phone randomly locks up and freezes to the point where I have t pull out the battery. I have rooted the phone, installed every conceivable update and the thing is still a buggy piece of poo poo. Is this common with this phone? Is there anything I can do? I am only one year into my two year plan and I'd hate to have to drop another $300 on a phone.
