    Root WiFi Dropping

    Hey Guys, running latest Viper but recently started to run into radio problems. It seems my WiFi can't stay connected for any extended period of time. It happens at work and home. Any suggestions on things to try? I've disabled wifi optimization and auto-switch but it hasn't seemed to help...

    Root Rumrunner issues

    Well I'm back with another question. The LCD screen on my old evo went bad so Sprint had to give me a new phone. I just got it and it has 3.17.651.4. I unlocked the bootloader through HTCDEV and tried to run rumrunner. I get to the second waiting for adb part and then get this error...

    Root Texts not sending

    My texts stopped sending yesterday. I can still receive texts fine, but I get the red triangle when I go to send one. I am running Beanstalk ROM. I restored a nandroid to an old Sense ROM and updated the PRL through settings and texts were working fine. Now that I'm back on Beanstalk they...

    Root Need rooting guidance

    Hey Guys, I've been out of the rooting business for quite a while (used to play around with my og evo a lot) and need some help. When I first got my LTE I rooted it because I missed using some root only apps but I haven't touched it since. It is still s-on and hboot 1.12 (very outdated, I...

    Kindle Fire - $10 Off via MasterCard

    If you purchase the Kindle Fire with a MasterCard you can get it for $189. This obviously isn't a big discount ($10), but I thought if anyone was going to buy one anyway, might as well save a few bucks. You need to buy it from Amazon and pay with a MasterCard using the coupon code...

    Help Plz Hlp! Evo stuck on the startup screen

    So were you able to get into recovery by holding the down volume and pushing the power button? If so, just go into recovery, do a complete wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache) and then flash whatever rom you were trying to flash. Did you not do those wipes before flashing? And what rom are you...

    Root Help me stop the texts...

    Well I am in the middle of class, so only have a second to describe this, but I keep getting text messages over and over and over. My wife has sent me 4 or 5 separate texts today, and I have probably gotten 100 copies of each over the day. the other strange thing about them is that they show...

    Help Email Not Syncing - Common Problem?

    I own an Evo and my wife owns an intercept. I am quite familiar with Android devices and can usually figure out my own problems, but I am a bit stuck with a problem that my mom is having with her Transform. Her Gmail account syncs just fine and pushes emails directly to the phone, but her...

    Root SD card issues... not my strong point

    So every now and then for the past couple weeks or so any apps that I have moved to the SD card have been disappearing. Usually, I can mount and unmount the SD card, or reboot, or both, and they will reappear. However, this morning they have disappeared and I am unable to get them back. As a...

    Root Public Service Announcement - All New Rooters

    With all the new rooters out there (welcome), I would just like to make a little reminder because the importance of this step seems to get overlooked at times... Make Nand Backups! To do so, I recommend going here and reading section 3 very carefully (thanks matlock). Before you flash...

    Root [Guide] Internet Tethering w/ Evo - 4G/3G, Wireless/Wired

    I am making this guide because it seems a few times each week people are posting to request information and/or help on how to tether internet with their Evo. Generally, the questions are referring to wireless tethering; however, I have decided to include information on wired tethering as well. I...

    Well there's been a lot of people waiting for this and it is currently confirmed to successfully root newer phones. Last I heard, however, the beta was recently closed but expected to reopen soon. So those with newer models and looking to root, keep an eye on the unrevoked page and their twitter...

    Root Verifying 4G?

    How do you verify if you have 4G reception? I believe you can see by entering ##data# and then viewing Wimax, but I am not exactly sure what to look for in that menu. The reason I am asking is because my 4G has stopped turning on as of tonight. It goes from scanning to connecting to...

    Check 4G Coverage Towers

    So I have been having some major fluctuations lately with my 4G speeds here in Utah. I have talked to Sprint a few times (pretty useless), and, just recently I spoke with Clearwire. For those who don't know, the 4G network is powered through Clearwire - even if you talk to a Sprint rep who has...

    Root App not playing well with latest Myn

    Just installed latest Myn ROM and now 4G will not connect. However, before reinstalling all of my apps / system data with titanium backup, it would. Anybody know which app (or something else) could be causing this? I believe it was talked about over on xda, but I cannot find it now as that...

    8pen Keyboard - Revolution or Fail?

    So this is not a review or me asking what keyboard you use in general, this is simply a heads up about a new keyboard (that I haven't seen mentioned here yet) called 8pen. What do you think about it in terms of using it on the Evo? It obviously has a big learning curve, but once learned...

    New TEP Policy

    I haven't seen anybody post anything about this yet on this forum, so thought I'd throw it out there. I may have just missed it though, in which case, just merge this thread and forget it. Thanks. Apparently Sprint is coming or has come out with a new TEP insurance policy. This link outlines...

    intercept screen protector

    Can anybody recommend a good screen protector that is cheap? Are the ones on ebay decent? I don't want to get one that has any kind of sticky feel to it. I currently have an Otterbox screen protector for my Evo and love it, but they don't make them for the Intercept. Thanks for any input.

    LauncherPro 3D App Drawer

    So a while back I saw a thread asking why so many people prefer LauncherPro over ADW, and I was surprised to see that one of the biggest reasons people liked LauncherPro was because of the 3D app drawer. Well being the mass follower that I am, I decided it must be better than I initially...

    Root tethering at 4g speeds?

    So I just canceled my internet at my house after a frustrating experience with the cable company... so now I'm exclusively relying on the Evo for internet. My question is, is there any way to tether at 4g speeds? Either wired or wireless? I think I've read that the wireless tether app has...

    Root recommendation?

    I am about to root my sisters eris and have a quick question. Which ROM do you recommend? I know I could research this on my own, but I'm an Evo owner and simply don't have a lot of time to spend researching this for her; so I'm calling on the collective intelligence of you eris rooter to...

    Root Never ending restore

    My phone started doing some weird force closes and just not acting right, so I am trying to do a nand restore. I have done these in the past with no problem, but it is currently restoring and has made about 25 lines of dots in the restore. Normally it will only do 5 or 6 lines of dots before...

    Root SetCPU good idea?

    So based on some recent findings by someone over at XDA, I have decided to go back to kings #6 kernel with Fresh rom. It is my understanding that this version did not have HAVS and therefore SetCPU would be a good thing to use to underclock a screen-off phone. Is this reasoning correct? The...

    Root Force Close with "Gallery" root cause?

    Each time I try to access my "gallery" I get a force close. It will let me open the main gallery folder, but as soon as I select a sub folder it force closes. Any ideas why this may be happening or how to stop it? I don't know if this is a root issue or not... but i figured some of the most...

    Root 3g issue

    Is there any reason why my 3g signal would become weaker after loading a custom ROM and/or kernel? I have just started flashing roms and so am still new to this, but it seems after loading Fresh 3.2 and netarchy-toastmod kernel my 3g signal is about half what it was. I also flashed... manups...
