My phone came with a wireless modem app pre-loaded


what widgets is everyone usin? anything good? I've got the ESPN sportscenter , google voice, weather channel, google search bar and youtube. Anything cool or useful anyone recommends?

I have a couple. I know I posted this a page ago, but my homescreen did change a bit. Only use 3 screens. It goes left, center, right. Tried to get them all side by side.

Is it really a app? Or is it to make your phone a hot spot? Because the pre installed version is usually for the carriers set up where you pay extra. I think Sprint is like an extra $35 a month. Might want to make sure before you use it. haha



LMAO!!!! EVO FTW!

its the hot spot thing as far as I know, I've only used it a couple of times. My understanding is there is not another charge for it haven't had to us it for anything really.

Question for those with 2.2, but at my lock screen, it reads out a display as such:
Swipe finger sensor
belongs to:
---
protected by antivirus

How do I change it so that it says my name below the "belongs to"? I've looked in the settings and can't find shit.

its an app thats doing it. uninstall your app called antivirus... its useless anyways

Fuck I've been gone too long. I'm on my 2nd Android phone now. Started the bug with an HTC Hero, then got the Evo back in September. I love this phone so much! Its hard to use the wife's Blackberry Curve to even make a simple phone call.

Also, if anyone isn't rooted, DO IT!

Fucking epic 2.2 is full of fail. Hard reset didn't fix it... Back to sprint it goes!

dont use the stock rom.... theres tons of aftermarket roms on sdxforums that will solve any of your problems and be 10000000x better then anything sprint gives you...

my moment is now a 2.2 phone when it wasnt suppose to ever go past 2.1. but since android is open source the aftermarket programmers are loving it haha

 

[Frank Dukes]

indeed. i finally got around to rooting my phone this weekend (1-click ftw) and i'm liking froyo (2.2) but i think im gonna back up and try to go gingerbread 2.3 stupid hero is too old to install flash on though.. bummer.

niiice

Google Maps Navigation becomes more of a threat to the traditional in-car GPS business seemingly on a daily basis, and they're taking another stab at it today with the addition of traffic re-routing capability in the Android app (which, while technically still in beta, is pretty darn solid) in both North America and Europe. Of course, Maps has had access to traffic information for a long time, so this is a natural progression -- and just as Google uses an interesting combination of sources (including phones) to cull that data, it's employing some smart schemes for re-routing that take into account both current and historical information about your route. The update's available today.

good stuff.

Might have to go that route because Sprint doesn't have a fix. I will check out that forum.

Thanks for the tip.

What phone do you have? Ive got the fascinate (galaxy s) so the only way im ever gonna get 2.2 on this thing is if i root. I just need to educate myself... whenever I try to read about it, i see just as many "i bricked my phone" threads as i do for "how to root" threads. haha. its a little off-putting.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I have a Galaxy phone: http://forum.androidcentral.com/epi...c-4g-official-froyo-eb13-w-optional-ext4.html

I am using that, only problem is I cannot get windows 7 to see the damn phone. I think I need a powered USB hub.

dont feel like making a new thread...

Sprint might be looking to snatch up struggling T-Mobile (you know, the people who used to sell Sidekicks), according to Bloomberg's anonymous sources. T-Mobile's been struggling of late, shedding both cash and subscribers—it could use the rescue.

 

[Frank Dukes]

lol i have a friend still rockin a sidekick.. he says its like his tenth one. they really were cutting edge for a minute there though.

 

[CamaroSS]

you get the upgraded Evo clone known as the Thunderbolt.
