eightysixed posted:So what's the deal with my SiriusXM app not working all of a sudden on my Evo 4G, and having to set the http proxy to 0.0.0.0 and port to 0 for it to magically work again? Neither Sprint nor XM had any idea what I was talking about. I found the fix/workaround online. Did you update anything recently? For most of us we had this issue months ago and had to do that same fix to get streaming to work again.

Mahoning posted:Stuff... How can you tell what line is the primary line? Because my wife's line was the primary line for years, and we used it last year to get my EVO. This was because my line last year had a upgrade date of 7/2011 while her line could be upgrade yearly. Now this what the Sprint site has to say: - wife's line $75 available 7/1/2011, $150 available 5/01/2012 - my line $150 available 7/1/2010 WTF happen? Shouldn't my wife's line still be a full upgrade on 7/1/2011 until after the first of April? & why did my line change? I swear I know what was my upgrades was last year because I wanted a EVO bad. I had to do the old get the phone on wife's line and switch it to mine. Only thing I can think of is Sprint switched the primary line to mine? If that is true my line's upgrade would change from 7/1/2010 to 5/1/2011 after the first of April, correct? All I know is I have 5 lines. I upgrade one phone last year and one phone in February. So that means Sprints owes me 3 upgrades this year. I just hope that doesn't get messed up. I want to have the ability to get 2 new phones every year. nate fisher fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Mar 29, 2011 |

decoy octopus posted:If I were to add another line either through sprint or a third party like Wal-Mart or Best buy is there any penalty for taking the new phone and swapping it to another line as long as I keep the new line active? I done it before. It was as easy as calling Sprint for 10 minutes once I got him to swap phones.

I am starting to question my decision to get a EVO 3D this summer. I looked at the Nexus S (of course not the Sprint version) at the Best Buy and it felt like a real nice phone. It was sleeker than my EVO and nicer display. I loved the size (it felt great in my hand) and how thin it was. Only thing I didn't like was the black glossy look. It was not bad, but I would of went different. My major concern with the EVO 3D is battery life. I am concern because the EVO doesn't have a good battery life. I have tried different ROMs and kernels, but if I didn't work in a office where I could plug it in my EVO would never make it through the day. I know the EVO 3D will have a bigger battery but because of the new features I would guess it would be a net even or worst than the EVO. Does anyone know what kind of battery life the Nexus S gets now? It shouldn't be that much different than the Sprint version for me since I don't use 4G. I guess what I am saying I think I would take a phone as powerful as the current EVO that last all day over the EVO 3D that only lasts until 2pm. Now who knows but I could be wrong and the EVO 3D have great battery life (I really do doubt it). Plus I am so over Sense now after using CM7. As stated before what if you can't perm root the EVO 3D? One more question since Samsung is having nothing to do with the software on the Nexus S does that mean Google gets to push the updates? nate fisher fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Apr 4, 2011 |

Jensen posted:I think you are mistaken in your thinking about the EVO3D battery life. It should be better than the EVO. Things like the 3d cameras shouldn't have any effect on battery life if you aren't using them. The only thing that might impact battery life is if Sense 3.0 is running more background services that wake up the device and use data. I guess my main concern was the dual processor, but isn't the display 3D? I would guess you could cut that off also like with the 3DS (which is also getting complaints about battery life). Chappy posted:Don't forget that the Nexus S has internal memory, and no card slot. I know 16gb is enough, but when your port eventually fails or your phone just decides to stop working just because, and all the data on your storage partition is gone, don't say I didn't warn you. Wow I missed that. That might of killed any love I had for the Nexus S.

Eyecannon posted:I find it funny how the EVO is considered the best phone, but I find the thing way too large and sharp-cornered to keep in the pocket, and it's even too big to hold (full disclosure, I'm 5'7" and wife is 5'4"). At first I was going to say I guess it is just a matter of taste, but after playing with the Nexus S I really like the size of that more than the EVO. Still I don't find the EVO too big at all to hold. Full disclosure I'm 6ft 180, but I have big hands (I wear size 13 shoes). My wife who is 5'4" likes the size of it also (wow that can be taken different ways), but I am willing to bet once she plays with the Nexus S she will like it better. If anything I wish the EVO was thinner and lighter. Also is this Carrier IQ thing in the Nexus S since it is the Google phone?

jaku78 posted:Is there any reason to get the Nexus S over the EVO 3D? I'm holding onto an old sammy moment that while it was a great phone, certainly isn't great anymore. I can't really decide. Oh, and am I making a great leap going from keypad to no keypad? I don't mind trying new stuff its just if I'm going to hate the drat typing experience on it I might just grab a shift right now instead. I use to be the same way. That said once I went to a pure touchscreen I can't go back. The thin phone design wins over the keyboard to me. You just have to take the plunge and learn to like it (which you will). Trust me I have big hands so if I can learn to like a soft keyboard you can too. Edit: Ozmodiar speaks my same feeling about the EVO 3D vs. the Nexus S. Also the Nexus S is freaking awesome to hold in your hand. Since the EVO 3D is pretty much the same size as the EVO 3D the Nexus S I prefer the size of the Nexus S over the EVO 3D. Also I am willing to bet it will have better battery life. That said if the EVO 3D is rootable I am pretty sure I am going with it. Too much power. nate fisher fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Apr 12, 2011 |

My only bitch about CM7 is it drops 3G a lot more than the Sense ROMs I used. Somebody said that Sense ROMs doesn't show 1X and that is why it seems I am dropping 3G a lot more. Well after testing streaming services on CM7 and a Warm Sense ROM, Warm can hold a 3G connection without dropping while CM7 keeps dropping. I have to turn off data on CM7 to get it to go back to 3G most of the times. Just to be clear I am on the edge of 3G in the boonies at work and this is not a really a issue when in town. That said when I am driving and streaming in the middle of Knoxville I get a lot more drops on CM7 than I did on Warm.

brc64 posted:You have to install some 3rd party software (or dig deep into some normally hidden menus) on a Sense ROM to see whether or not you're actually connected to EVDO. There flat out is no 1x icon on Sense ROMs. It will always report "3G" in the notification bar if you're connected to the wireless network. CM7, on the other hand, has separate icons for each, so it correctly reports your status. I understand that. How I am telling is when I get error on my phone 'no data/internet connection' when I am trying to do something with data, or when I am trying to stream from my desk and CM7 is giving me issues but Warm doesn't, or when I am driving I drop what I am streaming 3 times when I can go the same route on Warm and not drop once. I am not paying attention to the icon, but to the behavior of my phone. Still I love and will stick with CM7, and these issues only really happen when I am close to the boundaries of Sprint's coverage. It seems like Sense ROMs (for me at least) hold on better to 3G on these boundaries than CM7 does. That said speaking of the the notification bar with CM7 in these places I barely have a bar when with Sense I had at least 2. Maybe I need to try a new kernel.

The Entire Universe posted:While it isn't a given that the EVO3D will have a locked bootloader I can understand the concern given the trend and the various HTC-specific murmurings. However, do you really want to put all your eggs in a basket made of Samsung hardware over merely wanting faster updates? Samsung may have destroyed their record with software support, but that doesn't mean their hardware is a barrel full of roses either. I am a HTC fanboy but come on. You know that HTC doesn't get off either. The EVO has a terrible battery life, has issues with the charger port breaking (killed my Oreo EVO), back light leaks (my current EVO is doing that), and registering inputs when not in hand. So every phone has it's share of problems. My biggest worry about the EVO3D, outside of rooting, is the battery life. Forget the dual cpu or 3D, I would of taken a EVO with better battery life over the both of those. nate fisher fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Apr 13, 2011 |

My daughter needs a new phone (her Palm Pre died). I am shocked to see that Amazon still has the Arrive for $50 while Sprint has it for $199. I was going to get her a Shift but the Arrive for $50 might be too good of a deal. Edit: That is $50 is you are a new customer ($140 upgrade). Tease!!! Amazon does have the Epic 4G for $89 if you upgrade. I know the Epic gets some hate but for a 12 year girl who just wants a Android phone wouldn't it work? Did it ever upgrade to 2.2? Or should I just spend another $60 and get the Shift for her? nate fisher fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Apr 25, 2011 |

Bioshuffle posted:Oh god, upon doing more research I think I want to wait for the EVO 3D. Dual core processor in a cell phone? Ability to record 3D videos? Is there a conservative estimate on when this phone may hit the market? June? July? August? If the battery life will be addressed it'll probably be worth the wait. I'm sure I'm not the only one in the same boat, trying to decide between jumping on the Nexus S or waiting for EVO 3D. The wait is going to drive me mad! All signs point to June. I have a feeling that as long as the EVOs keep on selling like this we will see a new EVO every June. The only warning I would give you is no one really knows about battery life yet. Yes signs point to better battery life, but still if you don't work in a office or have the ability to charge your phone during the day it worry me some. While my wife is going to get the EVO 3D (her reward for rocking my Hero the last year) I think I might hold off upgrading myself. Why? For the first time in a long time I am still satisfied with my cell phone a year later. Yes the EVO is not perfect but it is still a pretty good phone. Urg I say this now but I bet once I see her with her new toy I will have to have it. Jerk McJerkface posted:I think it's hysterical when I go to someone's house that has children, and the kids barely even say "hello" or interact with anyone else. They're just sitting there playing on their iPhone or DS. I'm wondering how that will carry over into their adult life, not to be an old man or whatever, but sitting there for hours and playing on a little screen can't be totally healthy for your physical or mental development. Adults are just as bad as kids (if not worse in some cases) when it comes to Smart Phones. Nothing like going to someone's house and people are showing each other apps. In my house we have rules about phone usage when the family is together. It is a no no.

jaku78 posted:Why do you believe it is going to be that early in June? We were hinted the Nexus S was going to be an April deal and it turns out May 8th. Now we are hinted it will be a June release. What is making your decision on this? Because of the release of the EVO last year I would guess. Also Sprint never hinted at April for Nexus S. It was leaks about the Best Buy training that people took as April. Also has anyone started taking pre-orders on the EVO 3D? I was looking at the other Nexus S the other day (I wanted my wife to know what one is before she picks her new phone) and if the Sprint version was white I would be tempted to get it for myself. I am still mad about losing my white EVO to TEP. Also my wife said EVO 3D all the way. I can wait to play with it.

If it had a dual processor I would be all over it. That said the way our family plan falls the parents get a upgrade every year. So I could pick up the Nexus S and get the next big phone of June 2012. But what do I gain from switching to it from a EVO? Better screen, battery life, better style (I like the look and form big time over the EVO), & having a pure Google phone. Just don't know if that is enough to pay $200 for one year.

People who ordered the $50 Epic from Radio Shack Online how long is it taking for you guys get a ship status? The one I ordered is still awaiting inventory. I guess they are selling fast with such a low price. It still confuses me why this phone is $139-$149 everywhere else (even at the Radio Shack store). I will never completely understand why Sprint allows Radio Shack to do this or how Radio Shack makes money off it.

Hate to use the S word, but I was looking at the Samsung Galaxy S2 and looks wise it blows the EVO 3D out of the water. It might be the sexiest phone I have ever seen. Super thin, dual core, and 4.3 inch super amoled screen. I love thin phones and this one takes the cake. It is the first phone I seen that look wise blows away the iPhone. I know all carriers are suppose to get one and please God let Sprint get one without a hard keyboard (pretty please!). I think I am going to official wait on my upgrade until I hear what is going to happen with the S2. Funny I hate Samsung and love HTC. Edit: WTF am I thinking. Can't go Samsung unless a Nexus, but gently caress that funny is sexy. I just don't like the hardware look of the EVO 3D that much. nate fisher fucked around with this message at 02:28 on May 5, 2011 |

While I think the EVO is not bad at all I find the dual camera look on the back of the EVO 3D awful. I just hope it looks better in person.
