    Activation fee

    There were some fee waivers going on, but only for new customers, not upgrades.

    Screen protector and case

    I'm using a Diztronics Matte Back black TPU case and some no-name $5 clear screen protectors (2-pack), both from Ebay. I couldn't be happier.

    EVO LTE Teardown

    I'd hazard a guess that one of the biggest highlights here is that the glossy back can be easily removed from the antenna array, meaning 3rd-party replacements would be easy to swap in. Not that it would be that difficult to make a full back piece with the antennas included, but as far as...

    Walmart activation question/ im a newbie, sorry

    Seems like it would be fine if you wait a few days. I mean, people buy new phones off Ebay and such and have them activated, so who's to say your wife didn't sell hers and you bought one and now you want to activate different phones on your lines? I'd say the only danger is getting roped into a...

    Call who? Sprint or Wirefly? They (Wirefly) already sent me a cancellation email.

    Wirefly: $119.99 (link inside)

    I just sent an order through but it immediately canceled at the "Carrier Approval" step.??? It just says they were unable to complete the order.

    A heads up to Buyers

    Seems like this is an opportunity for aftermarket covers with BIGGER antennas, or is that not really possible? Either way, simple copper strips, should be easy to at least replicate.

    Wirefly.com is down altogether it seems.

    Wirefly: $119.99 (link inside)

    I had the submit page ready, just waiting on primary line PIN and SSN (on a family plan) and now it's not loading. It will be back up tonight, probably.

    Wirefly: $119.99 (link inside)

    For real. Can't see it getting much better than this, unless we upgraders could get activation waived on top of the $120 price. :)

    Nicely done. I'm on this one.

    Why did you choose the Galaxy Nexus over the EVO LTE ?

    Well, for one, you can say that about the original Evo 4G, and I believe the E4GL will be just as popular and future-proof. And don't bet on the GNex being the "center" of anybody's attention at Google. They're fickle, and they only focus on one thing at a time, so when it's time to move on, the...

    Is the htc evo lte really worth the hype??

    I'm sure this has been mentioned in the 6 pages between the OP and here, but just remember that the E4GL is NOT the same as the One X. The camera has been tweaked specifically, as has the software running it. Whatever the One X shows in performance will not necessarily reflect what the E4GL is...

    Undervolting questions..

    You're thinking of over/underclocking, which can be done using SetCPU or OC Widget, but with the new HAVS kernels (like your #8) the CPU gets dynamically undervolted based on load, which is like underclocking, but different. Some people are abandoning SetCPU and such since HAVS does basically...

    So...um...I'm screwed, right?

    That PDF says sales receipt must be dated between 7/8 and 9/11. Looks like you just made it! Has it been 22 consecutive months since your last upgrade with discount?

    those with crackling speaker

    I don't think that's it. I noticed it for the first time playing with Ethereal Dialpad. It's definitely a static issue, maybe audio clipping. I don't think it's the speaker itself, but I could be wrong. And my phone is quite clean, thank you very much. :)

    Why everything is faster with Froyo

    That could be. I know that SetCPU (which can be used to throttle CPU and save battery power) allows you to set profiles to lower the CPU when, say, the screen is off, and sometimes if you turn it on and then try to do something right away, the CPU is still at that lower frequency and lags a bit...

    Never rooted, updated to ota, now want to root.

    You can get the OTA manually if you want it, but Sprint will almost definitely release a new one next week. They are playing the community to get free bug testing. Don't think they're not lurking these forums, and XDA. :) But it won't be long, there are already rooted 2.2 stock ROMs. I'd just...
