Activate this device - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Has anyone used this option in the settings? It gives you a day old usage from minutes to data. The only thing I noticed is that it labels minutes as megabytes. Ha

Why did they call this 'Activate this device'?? Never looked at it until now, MB glitch is kind of funny though. Especially since the data usage is listed in kb!

I've used it and what it does is refresh your PRL and firmware and tries to talk with Sprint to refresh tour activation settings. Once it does it displays all your plan data.

It's funny because its entirely different from Wireless and Networks > Usage.
I guess it's their to force an activation if hands free fails, and they just needed to put something in there if the phone IS active already.

Well the usage of android is not the best way to check usage and even says on it, the one you see in the activation is what sprint sees

WiFi doing off

When I turn on my screen after its been off a bit my WiFi is off. Then when I unlock the screen WiFi comes on.
I'm using normal stock everything. Phone is not set to sleep ever. WiFi is set for always on. High performance mode. But I've changed from economy to high performance, made no difference.
Thanks.

You have turned Wi-Fi sleep policy to never?

Occassionally, normally over night sometimes, it still will shut off though. But it doesn't do it very often and not every night.
Thanks. Some of my settings were different. Hmm. But the WiFi sleep policy I did not know existed. There's no way to know how to get in Advanced. So luckily I hit menu and saw advanced.
Man Google needs to make android more user friendly.

Video/Voice Calls?

Should we be able to do Video Calls to other phones with front camera? I recall some ROMS from SGS to Captivate occasionally having an issue with the Video call button still on the screen. However I don't see any such on these.
I believe att disabled it.

Jerks...disable FM; disable video voice; might as well have deleted the front camera.
I'm sure we'll get a way around it some time.
GSM Arena shows the button on their US review. I thought they were using the ATT Model.

That is ridiculously crappy if carriers are going to block it out. I see where some Canadian carriers are making customers pay extra to use it.
Edit: Me thinks they removed the feature from all US phones so far. Checked the manuals for AT&T, Sprint and T-Mo online just now and none of them mention it. I'm guessing GSM Arena used screen caps from the international model.
Does this have anything to do with it? Don't know what SIP is.

Is your wifi constantly downloading?

When I'm in wifi the download arrow is constantly blinking. On for a sec then off. I don't have any push accounts. When on just 3g it doesn't do that at all, no data transfered unless I open a app or so something. It's murdering battery constantly connecting. I downloaded network traffic to try and see what is usually the data but it just shows "system". Using "system pannel". The data transfers are only at a few KB/s speeds so it's not large data files.
I've tried force closing all apps and it doesn't do anything. I have downloaded no apps that need constant sync. Gmail sync is stopped.

Cool I didn't even know that existed. But no, that option is unchecked.
I'll do a factory reset if needed but I don't it to come to that.
The data speeds are miniscule so it's like some odd transfer or authentication.

Now that you mention it, mine seems to be downloading quite a bit on Wi-Fi as well. My battery life is pretty good and it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. So I'm not worried about it. But just wanted to let you know mine does that too when I'm on Wi-Fi.

Rooting mistake

Hey, I'm new to rooting with Odin and I think I made a mistake trying to root. I flashed the telus root kernel and it seemed to succeed but it failed to boot. Panicking I flashed the other main root on the first Page which failed to write. Now it just boots to the telus boot screen then nothing. What should I do/flash? If you could help me ASAP as we're on vacation thank you'

Wifi at starbucks is free. If you have a low limit data plan go get a cup of coffee and pig out on data!

[Q] Is there a way to get my VZW S4 GPS to work in Ireland (Europe)?

I am planning on hooking my S4 up to O2 or Vodafone when I get there with a Talk/SMS plan, but maybe no data.
Will this phone be able to lock in with GPS without having a data plan?
I realize I will need an app that has the maps cached on my phone, any reccommendations on which ones or if this is possible with Google Maps?
Thanks, guys.
Sygic. It is a paid app and costs a bit, though.
I could be wrong but I don't think you have to have a data plan to use GPS. Here's the reason behind my response:
My neighbor has been asking if he can use an unactivated iPhone as a speedometer in his 1930 Model A. At first, I said no, then researched and found mixed responses. So this morning I removed the sim from my S4 and drove to work with a speedometer app I had previously downloaded. To my suprise, it worked.

Try removing your sim card and navigating. That'd answer your question.

You do not need a data plan to use the standalone GPS functionality. If AGPS data is old it might take longer for a fix, but that's about it. It's the maps and software that you'd need to be cached/stored locally.
As proof, here is an amusing screenshot for you, and no, it's not a GPS glitch.
anyone have any experience with one of these free GPS apps?
