    I have a big fat 3500 mah battery. I also own a Defender. I put my EVO in the plastic Defender case WITHOUT the battery back on. I did not try to close the plastic case (it won't close), I just carefully stretched the rubber exterior over my ghetto rig and voila, IT FITS! The answer is...

    Accessories Are all car chargers created equal?

    I bought the recommended car charger from Sprint and it sucks. When plugged in, my phone drains almost as fast as if it wasn't plugged in at all. I have read that some chargers are much more powerful than others. What should I look for? Any suggestions? Also, I have this transformer thing...

    How to make phone ring when bluetooth is on.

    I've noticed that when I have my bluetooth headset connected to my phone, the headset rings when someone calls but the phone doesn't. Is there a way I can make them both ring in case I'm not wearing my headset?

    Accessories Why don't any brick and mortar stores sell EVO Docks?

    I am a person that likes to look at something in person before I buy it. I am also a serial returner so I want the option to do that easily. One would think with the popularity of the EVO, someone would sell an EVO Dock at a real live store. Best Buy - No. Radio Shack - No. CompUSA (formerly...

    Help Eek! SD Card showing only 30.2 mb???

    Ok, now THIS is weird. Overnight, apparently my SD Card died. Android could not mount it and when I put it in my card reader and looked at it, it was EMPTY and showed only 30.2 mb capacity. Fracked. I tried formatting it and even writing a file to it. The 30.2 mb worked like a charm. So I...

    Helpful TIP for people putting on Screen Protectors

    Hi all, Anyone who tells you you don't need a screen protector for your EVO because the glass can't scratch is lying to you. Believe me, it can. But the problem with screen protectors is that it seems almost impossible to get them on just right without bubbles or dust getting under them and...

    Dolphin HD Browser Bookmark Question...

    Sometimes I wish I was Dr Frankenstein and could take the parts I like from all 5 major browsers and put them together into one SUPER-browser. 1. Stock Browser (full-featured but slow) 2. Dolphin HD (medium quick but weird bookmarking scheme) 3. Opera Mini (fast and great bookmarks, but no...

    I need a program to create "portrait" wallpapers...

    Hi all, I use a Live Wallpaper .apk called "Waterize Live" that is very cool. You can basically make any wallpaper look like it is submerged in water. Anyway, the only problem is that it only takes images that are sized perfectly to fit in "portrait" mode on your EVO. I will use larger...

    just checked out the epic 4g - hated it.

    I currently have an evo. Was feeling some cravings for the epic with the slideout keyboard. Anyway they had one at local sprint store so I checked it out. Phone has an overall cheap feel to it for me. The biggest disappointment was the hard plastic buttons on the keyboard. My fingers kept...

    Root Still Best Performance from Snap 7.1

    I've been trying all the new kernels out there and still my best performance is coming on Snap 7.1 running the latest cm6 nightly. Quadrant over 2200 and Linpack over 39 (see pictures): I don't think Snap 7.1 gets into all the heavy voltage regulation stuff. For me, I'm not willing to...

    Perhaps you have it too. Here are the symptoms: 1. You spend hours every day messing with your phone. Not using it, but making changes to it. 2. You flash cm6 nightlies even though you know they are unstable just because you want to do something new to your phone. 3. You find yourself strangely...

    Help Some odd charging issues.

    Hi guys, EVO is behaving strangely in the charging department. Makes me wonder if I have one of those defective usb ports I've read about. Anyway, here are the symptoms: 1. When in the car, as long as my charge is about 25% or so, I can have the charger plugged in and it will charge as I use...

    I've been seeing people online that are using a clock widget that spells out the time in words. It is very cool but I can't seem to find it. They also have the same thing for battery levels. Any ideas.

    Auto-install backed-up apps without prompting?

    Hi Guys, If you try as many roms as I do, you know that reloading all those apps and having to confirm an install on each one can be TEDIOUS. Is there an app or a script that will go through my backed-up apps and re-install them in the background with no prompting? I know Google is "supposed"...

    Root Any Sense Roms with Vanilla Froyo Dialer?

    Hi guys, I would like to try the Fresh Rom because of 4g and I hear it has excellent battery life. However, HTC (in their infinite wisdom) has decided that we really don't NEED a way to toggle bluetooth on or off during a call and has removed that button from their dialer. Bluetooth, what's...
