    I'm doing something wrong.

    had same issue as well. You have to use the flash gui image loader to get it to work. Basically flash gui is an app(.apk) you install on the evo itself. The flash gui will flash the kernel so that you can get everything working correctly. Basically use the flash gui to flash the image, then...

    I will be at I/O. If there are any extra tickets to the lookout mobile event, I would love to go.

    Its too heavy... really?

    Same here. Currently watching TV from the bed. I've becoe accustomed to leave the xoom flat on the bed itself, rather then lift it. Problem may stem from having a galaxy s being so light. Not that the xoom weighs a ton, just that ideally it could be lighter. It's relatively light for a...

    got my fascinate today... vzw rep told me interesting things...

    4g requires a sim card if I recall correctly. I would love to ask that Verizon employee where there's a slot for a sim card in my device. Verizon employees are utterly useless. I much prefer buying my devices online or if possible through a kiosk.

    Phone going back

    Due to monopoly restrictions placed on MS. If MS had their way there would be no way to access alternative services i agree, as explained in another thread, that blocking google services out of the box is an extreme monopolistic practice and that someone should file suit against both verizon...

    Phone going back

    Why is this any different from buying a pc or laptop at a retail store. A customer goes into Best Buy and buys the highest end pc he can use, as per the sales associates advice. He comes home to find out that his machine is loaded with windows crap and other OEM bloatware, as well as an...

    Phone going back

    Glad to hear thetaylor310. The phone is really a great phone. May require a few tweaks here and there but it gets the job done for most of us. The point I was trying to make is not that all newbs are complaining. It's that I have yet to hear a large amount of experienced Android users...

    Using Google for the Car Dock screen?

    There's already an app on the market called custom car home, which applies the same desired use you described. You can specifically set which apps will be fired by each intended shortcut. Customizable car dock app.

    Phone going back

    so what did you gain by creating this thread? You think any of us really care that you succumbed to Verizon's wishes and returned the phone. Did you think we would also do the same? What did you hope to gain by creating this thread?

    Phone going back

    wow, would it kill you to spend $3 on a worthwhile app. let me guess you shouldn't have to do that. I'm not here to convince you this phone is for you. You already appear to be reluctant to do anything. I shouldn't have to convince you this phone is awesome. I shouldn't have to tell you...

    Phone going back

    like I said us veterans have managed to find a way to make the phone ours. We removed traces of Bing and have joyfully enjoyed our Google experience using these phones. We are willing to take the risk of rooting the phone. In fact rooting and romming the phone is one of the main reasons I...

    Phone going back

    Every single android device has roms built for it by some 3rd party developer. Thats one of the major Android tenets. None of us like what the carriers do to the phones with installing bloatware and unneeded functionality. Even my friend who has an epic, no bi8ng, has rooted and removed all...
