    How to root the Optimus S with a Mac?

    You can boot into Windows natively using BootCamp. No need for VM software.

    Can't dial domestic +1 country codes with non-Sprint ROM

    Ok, well glad it's not just me. Any idea why it works on other devices with CM7?

    Can't dial domestic +1 country codes with non-Sprint ROM

    Right, I've thought of that, but it seems like a work around. My contacts have always had that, so it doesn't seem that's that issue. I should also add, I tried two different CM7 builds, both had the issue.

    Can't dial domestic +1 country codes with non-Sprint ROM

    OK, I'll try to be as descriptive and exhaustive as possible, but I might miss something. My problem is that all of my contacts in Google contacts have phone numbers formatted +1XXXXXXXXXX. This has never been a problem before. Now, when I try to dial, the phone keeps the +1 and Sprint give me...

    Upgrading From the Optimus: Which Device?

    I'm actually trying the Optimus after carrying an EVO 4G for over a year. The size and bulk got to be too much. I'm liking the Optimus so far. Looking around I found the Samsung Transform Ultra is rumored to be coming to Sprint. It looks like a decent replacement if size and weight are a...

    No 3G reception with Hero

    Ah, sorry, I'm coming from an iPhone. Is the 3G symbol an Evo thing b/c of its 4G capabilities? I realize now that Ev on the Hero is 3G. Duh. Thanks for clearing that up.

    No 3G reception with Hero

    My wife and I are in vacation. She has a Hero and I have the Evo, both on Sprint. I've been getting anywhere from 2 to 5 bars of 3G reception all week. Her Hero has yet to get anything but EVDO. I checked and the radios operate in the same bands. Is the radio in the Evo that much stronger? Any...

    Sprint ending the Hero

    Apple tried all metal with the first iPhone and it suffered reception problems. It will be interesting to see if HTC has solved this.

    Sprint ending the Hero

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. But, the EVO isn't really a comparable device. I think we might still just get her a a Hero from sprint. She doesn't really like the Moment. Can anyone think of a reason not to? Thanks

    Sprint ending the Hero

    My wife thought she wanted an EVO, but decided it's too big, so she chose the Hero instead. None of the BestBuy's in town have one and RadioShack.com doesn't list it anymore. Sprint.com has a sale on them. So, I'm wondering, is Sprint dropping it from the lineup? Is there something...

    Any screenshots around for that?

    Intelliscreen/Lockinfo equivalent

    I'm looking to convert from my iPhone to an EVO soon. I don't know much about Android's app offerings. I currently have my iPhone jailbroken for one application in particular: Lockinfo. I moved over from Intelliscreen. Basically, these put information (calendar events, missed calls, etc.) on...
