    It could just be heavy network usage in your area. Wait a few hours and try again.

    Root Make phone "look" unrooted

    I thought I remember seeing a thread about this, but couldnt find it. I got a new replacement from sprint a few weeks ago. Ever since, the internet (3g) is horribly slow. Speed tests confirm the 3g will not get above 200kbps ever, no matter where I am. So obviously, I know this is a hardware...

    Help second phone still has screen orientation quirk

    I've had an evo since launch day, but the first one I got had a problem, and it was switched out. Every since the froyo update, the phone will randomly switch to landscape view, even though I am almost always holding the phone in portrait view. It seems to happen most often if I drag the...

    Tried to buy app, order cancelled, cant re-buy app?

    I tried to buy an app the other day. I always try apps out, and do end up requesting a refund a lot if the app doesnt fit my needs. When I went to buy the app, it said the order went through, and started downloading. But then it just stopped in the middle of the download, and I got another...

    Help Cant interact with flash

    I updated my Evo to 2.2 when it came out, but I just noticed something about flash in the browser: I cannot interact with any of the buttons. For example, when browsing the youtube full site in the browser (not the youtube app) you can hit the button to turn on captions, and hit the other...

    Cant scroll frame in browser

    I'm starting to use a web interface (java from what I can tell) to stream my tv to my phone. Everything works great, except the channel list is it's own frame, and I cant scroll it. I can only see the first 15 out of 100 channels. I've searched google and cant find any information about this...

    Help Signal drops when charging?

    So, just now, I noticed when charging the phone, it drops nearly all bars. I usually get 5-6 full bars at home. I was just charging the phone and noticed I only had 1. I waved it in the air, and moved around a bit, but still only 1 bar. As soon as I unplugged it, bam, full 6 bars. Plug it...

    Full flash support with 2.1?

    Just found this link to an apk that claims to port over the working full flash program from 2.2 to work with 2.1. From reading the comments, it appears it only works with HTC phones because of the flash lite already on them. I installed it, and tested a few sites and it seems to work great. I...

    Help Facebook email addresses made primary

    I have a bunch of people at work that I usually email as a group. I had all m contacts in my Gmail, so they were automatically synced with the phone when i got it. In the people app, I made a group with all of my work contacts that I email usually. I've been told that some people haven't been...

    replacement evo worse than current evo

    So I FINALLY got my replacement in the mail today from Sprint. I turned it on but didnt activate it so I could make sure it works properly. It's a version 3, and right out of the box I noticed a big problem. The power button is VERY sunken in. I thought my current phone was bad, but I...

    Radio Shack replacement phone worse

    I picked up my phone on launch day, version 2 hw. I was having a bit of the grounding issue, but the big problem was light leakage onto the screen. The whole bottom of the screen was brighter than the top. And the headphone port was junk. So I finally got my replacement yesterday, hoping to...

    Orb alternatives?

    I am currently using Orb to stream live tv from my computer's tv tuner to my phone. But I really dont like it, and haven't from the start. It's a resource hog on the pc end, and the end result on the phone isn't that great either. I know about slingbox, but dont want to purchase one. So are...

    Help dust in earpiece

    I had this problem with my last phone. I keep it in my pocket all the time, and every few days, dust/lint would build up in the earpiece, and i would just take a toothpick and clean it out. I just noticed some dust in my evo, but found it wasn't so easy to clean out, because the holes in the...

    There is one spot at work where I get about 1 bar of sprint service, but verizon has full bars. With my old phone, whenever i was at work, there was an option to turn the phone to sprint only, roam only, or automatic. I would turn it to sprint only, yes it used the battery a bit more but i...

    Help turn off gmail at night

    With my old Windows phone, there was a simple setting that lets me set a time that the email will come to my phone. I usually had it set to check email from 8am to midnight, as i don't need my phone going off all night and waking me up. I have searched all over this phone, and cannot find an...

    Help Really slow

    Got my phone about noon today, charged it and played around with it for a bit. I downloaded about 20 apps to try out, then deleted about 10 of them. I'm noticing now the phone is REALLY slow. Nothing is smooth at all, scrolling home screens is very choppy, when i pinch to leap its choppy. I...
