pyroscott Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I was a flashing fool on my OG Evo but I am reluctant to root this phone. I am so much less interested in futzing around with stuff now. I remember all the issues they were having with getting Wimax working with some ROMs. Is it the same with LTE on these ROMs? No, WiMax was built with proprietary drivers, where LTE is open source. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anSarakhJackie Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks to Kisakuku, Pyroscott and david279 for helping with my question about evolte otg. I am too timid to root my phone so I upgraded to 64gb and am using the included Dropbox. No lte (obviously) yet in San Diego and 3g drops sometimes even in downtown SD so I can't reliably depend on my phone for my docs. Even so, that 'word flow' in the "read" option on the stock internet browser makes for such a better visual experience. Much than any other pc or tablet I've tried. I'll not use any other phone. Bad eyesight, don'tcha know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anSarakhJackie Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yesterday I noticed a an alert notice from HTC on my evolte telling me to: "Authorize HTC Sence to access Facebook" on my phone. I don't want to do that, bcs HTC gives no detail of what they will do once authorized. I just checked on HtC and Sprint Community for info of what this is & couldn't find any mention at all. Now I just want to get rid of the announcement. "Clear" doesn't work, side swiping doesn't work. Grrh! With much trepidation I decided to implement it- now the phone says it is going to use alot of data in the background and to be aware my data charges 'may' increase. Which is dumb, since sprint's plans are 'unlimited.' OK, 2 questions- 1) is it possible to get rid of system alerts without doing what is requested? 2) can facebook background updates use more than a gig a month? -- since my daughter updates me on her friends doings & she has lots of friends.

The OS will warn about background data because the OS doesn't know what plan you have. It's just part of the standard Android system. If you are worried about the data usage you could try disabling the Facebook app (Settings>Apps>All tab) and just accessing facebook via the browser. You obviously won't get any notifications and such unless you get them via email but that way you don't have to worry about background data.

jason0583 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I recently shipped my evo lte back to htc for repair due to connection problems we all know about, has anyone done this and had any luck, htc acted like there was no problem with phone. But they would never admit to it. Also they told me jellybean will be released in February. Sent from the new iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Soooo....what was repaired? And if they didn't admit to anything being wrong, what did they actually do then? And is the operation of the device different than what it was before you sent it in to HTC? I guess that I'm the only one that's confused on how you know something was repaired. Please let me know if I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0583 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It is at htc right now, haven't got it back yet, I just told them my connection issues. They said they didn't know of any issues. I said that I was having the issues on my device so they said to send it back for repair, now what that consist of I don't know as of yet, but I will report back when I get the device back. Sorry if my post was confusing, I was just wondering if anyone else had sent their phone back to htc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket87 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 They may not know about it. I believe there is a problem with signal strength but ive worked at a sprint repair store and a regular store and we do not get evo lte in for connection problems anymore than any other phone.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2 How could they not know about it? Maybe the rep he spoke to didn't but typically cs reps don't know anything so thats to be expected. Regardless though, this is a documented issue before the phone was even released which was reported right here on s4gru back in april(to lazy to look for the link right now).

echo4papa Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 After much delay, and the painful experience of piggybacking off of some pathetically slow free wi-fi in my home town while at work, I am very pleased to finally see 4G in DeLand, FL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was close to sprint campus!! You were near the Sprint Campus, as was your EV-DO 1900 (eHRPD) serving site. But the CDMA1X 800 serving site was not that close. Look at the RSSI difference: 23 dB. That means your EV-DO 1900 signal was 200x the strength of your CDMA1X 800 signal. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
