I'm ready to upgrade to the Evo 3D (currently on a Verizon dumbphone). I have a 25% discount through work, does it make more sense to use this, or should I apply for the EPRP mentioned in the OP?

I called the Sprint rep who gives the corporate discount up for my company and signed up. After I called him back with the info to have my number ported over from Verizon, I can't use data or make outgoing calls.. I just get a steady high pitched noise after a few rings. I can accept incoming calls, however. The phone number he gave me to call (the only number I can reach) leads to a confusing set of menus that asks me for a PIN number. What am I doing wrong here?

I took the Evo 3D off the charger at 8am when I left the house, used bluetooth to play mp3s in the car on the way to work, made one 2 minute call, had 50% battery life by 10am. The phone bricked itself a day later though, so it could be a fluke.

Finally got a working Evo 3D after a week without cell service and having them replace the phone 3 times. Is the telenav GPS app any good or do most people just use google maps navigator?

If I eventually root the phone and switch to a different rom, are there free equivalents of the sprint specific apps like visual voicemail, and that thing that links everyone in your facebook/phonebook/gmail into the People app?

Is there a way to get that Accuweather thing that's part of the main screen on the Evo to find a location? It only seems have to major cities around the world in its search feature, which isn't very useful.

The Accuweather app does let you add locations, but you can only choose from a bizarre, very limited list of cities. It also detects my current location incorrectly when on wifi.

Is there a good, cheap screen protector/film thing for the 3D? I bungled applying the free one they gave me with the phone and had to toss it out.

The interior of the (giant steel and concrete) office building I work at blocks or degrades most wireless signals, and sometimes I get a "warning, you are now roaming" error message. Is this because it can't find a signal, or am I actually latching onto a non Sprint tower somewhere and racking up roaming fees?

The Sense weather app sucks, it never updates my location (and it's not the phone, because other apps show the correct location). Is there another good weather widget for sense?

Just tried the speed test app (east coast, my house is in a 4G zone): 3G: 20KB/s download, 15KB/s upload 4G: 560KB/s download, 100KB/s upload I had no idea 3G was this bad.

Yes, I switched it to kilobytes on purpose.z16bitsega posted:Sounds like whatever speed test app you're using is reporting in kilobytes per second instead of kilobits. 20 kBps = 160 kbps which still isn't great but not awful.

I got a 15% discount through work, but they had added insurance. I called and had them remove the insurance.. and it also removed the discount. Any way to get this back, or am I screwed?

I noticed some of my apps, like Gmail, don't show up under "my apps" in the market. Is this because they're some kind of sprint version? Am I at the mercy of sprint when I want to update them?

Thanks that worked, and yes Evo 3D. None of the apps that came preloaded show in the market, I have to install over and clear cache and then they'll show.Vykk.Draygo posted:What happens if you search for Gmail on the market? GMail shows up fine for me in My Apps. Maybe you never downloaded the updates from the market?

When you hit the big "Phone" button on the home screen in Sense 3 (evo 3D), what exactly is the list of numbers that show up? It seems to pick and choose what shows up in the list, like an incomplete version of call history. For example, I had 3 missed calls when I checked the phone today, but only the last one shows up. The call history app shows everything.

Having just come from Verizon, the 3G (and call coverage to a lesser extent) of Sprint in the NYC suburb area is surprisingly terrible in comparison. Friends with Sprint just seemed to be used to it. However my contract is literally half the price, so it's worth it.

My in call volume just got extremely quiet despite being at max volume, and speakerphone stopped working. This is my 3rd Evo 3D. Is there an easy fix for this, or do I have to go sit at the store for hours again? Already tried a cold boot.

Does the new OTA for the 3D break the current perm root that's out? I don't plan on rooting until CM7 is out since there are no decent roms.

The charging port on my Evo 3D has suddenly become really finicky, and will only charge if the plug is at just the right angle. I'm just past 30 days on the phone, can anything be done about it or should I just live with it?

When I was at the store getting my Evo replaced I said "what can you tell me about those windows phones?", and all the sales guy said was "you don't want one, trust me".

I've got the "security pattern" lock screen set on my Evo 3D, but it still shows the default Sense lock screen with the ring before that.. so I've got two lock screens. How do I disable the sense lock screen?

Has anyone rooted a Sprint phone recently? After rooting I get an error 16 when making calls, a message telling me to call customer service, and then it hangs up on me. Customer service tells me that I need to bring the phone to the store.

The 3D stuff is pretty useless, the only reason my friends and I bought it is because it's the latest and greatest HTC phone.

No custom rom (that isn't based on the stock rom) has had any luck getting wimax to work. Bluetooth kinda works on CM7 but I couldn't change songs in the car. Staying with a cleaned up sense rom for the foreseeable future. Once sprint has good lte coverage I'll probably sell the 3D for that new nexus.

Is there a decent rom out there for the Sprint Galaxy S2? My brother just picked one up and wants me to root it and flash CM7, but I didn't realize it was only for the GSM version of the phone.

They're probably just trying to stop the average user, which is 99% of the people with these phones.

My brother and a close friend have the Epic 4G Touch and Galaxy S2 (AT&T) respectively, and have had zero issues. Makes me regret buying the Evo 3D with a fraction of the ROM support and abandoned alpha version of CM7.

Fresh rom is the best stock replacement on the Evo 3D right now, I've tried most of them. The CM7 port was abandoned, but like others said Sense is great.
