My battery life with gps and wifi off, 3g on, 4g off.

That's odd. Comparing Sprint to Clear's WiMax coverage, everything looks the same! The only major provider that has 4g coverage in Nebraska right now appears to be Verizon. Better yet, you can check VM's website for yourself and see that hardly any areas are covered with 4G (nowhere in Nebraska...

Yeah, the other specs on the evo 3d are more than enough for me to overlook the "4g" aspect of it.

If you want the evo for 4g you are wasting your time. First, this is not true 4g. it will use Sprint's WiMax network for 4g, which is TERRIBLE. Extremely poor coverage and not even worth the time because Sprint is switching from WiMax to LTE. Peak download speeds, according to Sprint, are...

June 10th is the official release offline, for stores like BestBuy Mobile, RadioShack, Target, and wherever else it is being sold.

I ordered mine on the 31st. Immediately backordered. First shipping date was set back one day, then two, and now when I check my order status there isn't even an expected ship date anymore!! This is some bullcrap, seriously. Anyone know if it is possible to cancel orders thru Virgin Mobile? I...

Well well well..this might just happen depending on how my tax returns are looking :D

..what if we were able to get the slider in your hands?

Pretty sure it has something to do with hardware acceleration. You should talk to one of the devs about it.

No, no one has ported it over. maybe you should try and talk to a dev of Team Hydro or something instead of making an entirely new thread.. I believe I read that no one from Team Hydro actually owns the device. maybe if one of them had their own they would be interested.

VM does it because it is a no-contract, pay-as-you-go service. You get what you pay for. What isn't possible, exactly? Updating the PRL on the OS? yes, we established that. But it is not an entirely fruitless endeavor to update the PRL on other phones from VM. I used to have the OV and I...

Benefits of rooting: you have full access to your phone. Want to uninstall those apps that came pre-installed? Go for it. Overclocking? All yours. Backing up apps, wifi tethering, command prompt, the list goes on. The only drawback from rooting I can think of is that it voids warranty. however...

I charged it to 100% once, then let the battery drain completely. I played games, turned on wifi and GPS so it would drain faster. When it had completely died, I let the battery sit outside of the phone for about 10 minutes. After that I put the battery back in and started charging it but with...

Yeah, when mine turns on it reads 7:00 pm and then changes to whatever time it really is. I have also had issues with the recovery but not for the same reason as you. When I tried to restore one of my nandroid backups, it read "error MD 5 sum invalid" or something along those lines and it...

You should try calibrating your battery too! After I calibrated the battery on my OS I'll easily get 12hrs with moderate/heavy use and 24+hrs when I hardly use it at all. And this is with the Team Hydro ROM + Gingerkernel too.

Re: [ROM][Team Hydro] Gelato 11-28 For Virgin Mobile Optimus Slid I don't think you did anything wrong, your phone is up and running. If you messed up somewhere it probably wouldn't have booted. Re-read the instructions on installing the hydro ROM if you're unsure. As far as benchmarks are...

I have tried it but it won't work because ADB isn't working on the slider. Even with the correct drivers a computer won't recognize it.

I hope that isn't what he meant because that would mean he is incredibly lazy. You can root your phone and remove any apps you don't want using another app like titanium backup. It's a really simple process.

Can you elaborate some more? I use the team hydro rom on my OS and I was under the impression that it is relatively bloat-free. Compared to the stock rom and kernel, the hydro rom and gingerbread kernel give a rather significant performance boost (at least as far as battery life is concerned)

Anyone can get that kind of battery life when they don't use their phone at all.
