    Sprint Airave broken antenna

    I just received my Airave less than a week ago and it has greatly improved our cell reception. Unfortunately last night our dog was trying to retrieve a toy and in the process pawed at one of the cables knocking the Airave off the bookshelf and breaking the plastic antenna. While I can snap...

    Stock weather widget not working, Location problems

    I'm having the same issue. Sitting in my house I have got about 5 or 6 different cities to show up on the weather widget, some over 10 miles away. My girlfriend also got her EVO the same time as me and another issue we saw was our screens showing the same city, but having different weather...

    Kudos to "the shack"

    Just wondering, did you get to use all the discounts? 1. $10 survey coupon 2. $20 accessory credit 3. 15% or 10% (depending on time) accessory credit

    radioshack will not accept my $10 coupon from survey!

    I'm wondering if there is a certain sequence they have to follow for entering the $10 followed by the other discounts. As I've said before if they deny me using it, no accessory sales from me.

    Anyone else going to ask to open it at RS?

    From what others have posted, activation simply means doing it in Sprint's computer system. Once the phone is turned on, it will then recognize that it has been activated and will be ready for use. This isn't the old days of cell phones where all the info about the phone had to be manually...

    RS $10 coupon updates

    I'll make it real simple, if my RS tries to not allow the $10 coupon, they get no accessory sales from me.

    A iPhone user gets green with EVO envy

    Add to that 2 PBS and 2 independents where I grew up. But one of them signed off around prime time for SelecTV. And if sky conditions were just right I might be able to DX a station or two from a market or two away.

    RS $10 coupon updates

    This is what I plan on doing. At the risk of beating a dead horse, I never saw a definitive answer on the percentage accessory discount. One person said there will be a 15% discount for pre-orders and 10% for walk-ins. Another said it's 15% for those coming in before 10AM, 10% after. Which...

    Best cleaning solution for LCD screen

    I just throw it in a pocket and put it in with the laundry, but I do use a second Bounce sheet in the dryer for the static electricity. And if I'm in a hurry, there's always the shower (don't ask where I clip the holster).

    Just played with a unit at Radio Shack

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is even worse for being able to hold a phone. Sometimes it's mere seconds before my hand goes numb. I'm thinking it's time for a new bluetooth with the $20 credit and/or 15% discount at RS.

    EVO - Outlook - Gmail???

    Pardon me if this is a real noob question, but these will be my first Andriod phone. I was able to upload all my contacts from my Palm Treo 800W to my Google account. During initial setup of the Evo, do I just put in my Google account info and all my contacts and calendar are automatically...

    Poll: Whose turned off by the $10 buy up for the Evo?

    Sorry sir, sometimes hard to tell when someone is being serious or not on the intarwebs. It's just that I can see someone ticked about the fee actually doing this. I'll quietly go back to waiting now. :o
