    I've had it with Sprint. Slow Internet, incompetent phone staff. I currently have the Motorola Photon on Sprint and am very happy with signal strength, call quality, battery life and reliability, which are the most important to me. I did some research and and decided to go with an AT&T phone...

    Help Youtube Playback Stutter?

    Occasionally (once every day or two) my phone will stutter on Youtube playback. The only fix is a restart (killing all apps doesn't fix it). Sometimes it will start stuttering by itself, other times, it happens because I pause and replay a video. Any ideas?

    :confused:Does anyone know the proper way to setup and use these ROMS?:confused: I previously stayed with the FreshROM as it was very stable and compact. The eye candy of Synergy-Kingdom (Sense 3) is too much to resist. Because the ROM is so bloated, I decided to try the APP 2 SD...

    I got my replacement EVO and ran unrevoked...It came back with: "Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" In the bootloader, it says S-OFF but the recovery option just takes me to the <!> logo. I read an app might cause that error, so I erased everything on the phone and ran root...

    Root Upgrading Rom: Full wipe vs flash over

    I've got Fresh 3.4.0.1 and I updated to it by just Flashing over (no need to install apps again, etc...) Now that 3.5.0.1 is out, I was wondering: Is there any advantage to a fresh wipe and reinstall the apps vs just 'updating' to the new firmware?

    Light leak around front casing, dust issues.... :mad: The build quality sucks, I have dust under the glass in the upper left corner. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that HTC can't place a priority on build quality. I traded my Hero with dust for an Evo with dust. Oh the joy. It's really...
