More accurately, it's a bug that was introduced with the first OTA update, and resolved with the third / most recent OTA update that went live today. Install the latest update and reboot your phone.

Duckman2008 posted:The original Evo is actually racing neck and neck, most people want to save $100. Now I know why the 3GS still sells. To be fair, it's not like the Evo is suddenly a poo poo phone. I am without a doubt loving the E3D, but even with the upgrade I would've kept my Evo for quite a bit longer, possibly all the way until my wife's Evo is up for replacement. Re the piece-of-poo poo Pre, just go in with her and ask about replacing it with something not-a-Pre? I think anything Android would be a big step up for her.

visuvius posted:For those of you that switched over from the 4G, overall how significant of an improvement or difference would you say it is? I gotta say, I don't think I'm a fan of the different form factor, I kind of like the wider display on the 4G. It's there, but if I hadn't broken my 4G, I would probably still be using it. The 3D is an excellent phone but the 4G really isn't that much behind.

change my name posted:Are there any other phones that use the 3d's big square battery or is it proprietary? Also I read a review that said using 3d features seemed to drain the battery at about a percent a minute, does that sound right? Well, all phone batteries are proprietary in that an HTC battery won't work in a Motorola phone, etc. That said, I do think the E3D's battery is currently unique to it, but the Evo used the same battery as the TP2 and a few other HTC devices...I'd be surprised if the E3D battery doesn't become one of their new standard batteries.

Krittick posted:I noticed on my account page it says I have used 1.3MB of Data Roaming, out of Unlimited. Does this actually mean that I won't be charged for using Data on Domestic Roaming? That's pretty loving awesome if so. (Everything 450 Plan) Correct. The only time it becomes an issue is if you have excessive roaming data use over a long time, because then you cost more to Sprint than you pay them. I forget what qualifies as such but I believe it's pretty damned generous.

The 4G is still a very solid phone today, but I expect it to be showing its age pretty well in two years (or less) when dual core phones like the 3D are common.

change my name posted:So I left for work this morning with my 3D's battery at 95%, and realized at 12 that it was really hot and the battery was dead. Had to pull it and restart the phone, and the display showed that it was at 20% left, even though I wasn't running any apps or anything. Anyone have an idea of what happened? One of two or possibly both: *You had poo poo cell reception and it kept trying to connect to the towers, running the radio (and battery) really hard in the process. *Some process ran away and didn't get killed normally, raping the CPU (and battery).

I wouldn't sweat long-term updates on the Evo; after all, it does have a CM7 port. It may not ever get an official ICS upgrade but I'm sure the CM guys will make it happen if it can work.

If you didn't use your upgrade then, your upgrade is still based on 22 months the last time you used it.

Mine already came in handy at work during a discussion with a client, who mentioned the E3D before I had taken mine out of my pocket. Turned into a nice "Well, now that you mention it... " moment, and lead to a discussion on the finer points of rooting and CM7. Professional? Or just pro? To the guy above, $10 fees will apply to any non Samsung Replenish smartphone on any EPRP line. Even with that it is still a hell of a deal.

Q_res posted:I like Sense 3.0, but that actually seems reasonable. Why wouldn't you rate the phone on both the hardware and the software experience? Because to an extent, Sense vs Blur vs AOSP is heavily subjective, so long as there aren't any major loving issues...and a lot of the Sense can be removed without even rooting if you so please.

The only phones you can put on $30 SERO, no matter how you buy them, are dumbphones and maaaaybe the TP2. Non-4G smartphones require the $40 SERO-P, and 4G phones require that plus the  4G fee.

ExcessBLarg! posted:The Samsung Reclaim might work on $30 SERO, since it's a smartphone-but-not. I'm not certain of that. While it does run Android, it's rather low powered. Perhaps strictly better than a Touch Pro, but might leave you with phone envy yet. The Reclaim does require $40 SERO; the confusion came because the $10 smartphone fee (which non-SERO users pay on all smartphones now, regardless of 3G or 4G) was waived for it. Said $10 fee is not the same $10 fee that you get charged to upgrade from SERO to SERO-P. I would be utterly shocked if they let the iPhone onto $40 SERO-P. I think the 4G fee is ultimately called "premium data" and it's charged on whatever phone Sprint wants to charge it on.

My dad and stepmom are finally reaching the point where they might actually consider spending $40/mo for a pair of Optimuses (Optimi?) instead of a TP2 and a Centro.

AxeManiac posted:Yeah, but I just want to take stupid 3D pictures, sounds like fun and if it boots and loads a little faster, all the better. I might wait a few months until my upgrade kicks in however. Seems like there is no rush to jump to it. Having owned both, definitely not worth an out-of-contract upgrade. Once you're eligible, it's arguably worth it for the gorgeous high-res screen, larger stock battery (with significantly better actual battery life), and dual cores.

Sprint pays VZW/others an assload for mobile roaming data. Regardless of the upper limit on your plan (4GB for a modem or unlimited for the phone itself), if you use 300MB/mo or more of that while roaming, Sprint will want you gone.

So what's the current status on mail-in rebates for phones and trading lines? My sister-in-law and mother-in-law both have upgrades available and I'm half tempted to burn one to get my wife's line on an Evo 3D. EPRP so Best Buy is out.

Duckman2008 posted:Evo 3D has an instant rebate though, so i wouldn't worry about it Turns out my sister in law, upon hearing the E3D is only $50, wants to use her upgrade on it. I set it up to reserve it for her in store on Saturday since it's the soonest she can pick it up, and she lives ~350 miles away so I don't want to have it shipped to me if I can avoid it. However, since the promo technically ends on the 7th, will there be any issue with honoring the $50 price?

Duckman2008 posted:I wasn't in store yesterday, but from the emails I've read you either get it within the timeframe or you miss it. And honestly that tends to be sprints policy, stores won't match it after the fact because they would eat the difference. Well, with that in mind and her timing (plus the fact that I wanted to pay for it for her, and you can't just bill to account anymore)...combined with a braindead Sprint chat rep that couldn't say anything that wasn't "The store representative will be able to answer this", I just went ahead and cancelled it. Turns out you can indeed specify a different ship-to address, so the phone will go right to her rather than having to bounce through my hands first. Hell of a deal, though. She'll be able to sell her Evo 4G for more than I paid for her 3D.

The pain with prepaid gift cards is that when you try to buy something worth more than the card has on it, the transaction gets declined. It's not like a store gift card where it says "you asked for $50 but I only have $20 so get the rest", it just says "Welp, don't have $50 so you get declined."

In Target its even an option while paying that you annoyingly have to dismiss everytime. No, Target, I don't want to put this pack of gum on two different cards! Yeah that's what you'd need to do. Strangely I don't get that prompt at any Target I go to.

My Linux Rig posted:You know, I always see these kind of "rooting is easy and quick" comments and yeah I guess it would be hard to see how rooting/flashing an android device might be tedious and time consuming with all the scripts out there to help people with it, but I guess the devil is in the details. Rooting the drat thing isn't hard, and migrating from one ROM to another is even easier once you've rooted it. Time consuming, yes, since most of these steps involve a lot of waiting, but not hard. *Tell Titanium Backup to redo all backups *Reboot into recovery, mount SD over USB, copy my last nandroid off of the SD card to my computer just in case *Run a new nandroid *Copy the ROM and any other zips I need over to the SD card *Flash the ROM and then any other zips *Reboot *Enjoy new ROM, or hate it and restore the nandroid So far I'm loving this CM9.
