I was considering adding the ONE to my current plan and noticed they charge for navigation now 9.99/ mo. Is that normal? Never added a line before and never been charged before for navigation. This was online BEST BUY for reference and didn't see it mentioned anywhere else.

There should be a box you can untick to not add that option. It should just be their paid app of Sprint Navigation.
Okay. So they are charging for their Sprint specific navigation app and I could continue to use Google Maps as always? The way they write it makes it look like they want to charge for navigation.

Sprint has always done this ... I've been with sprint for 8+ years this has always been the case.

Verizon does it too. They want you to pay 10 bucks a month to use their terrible VZ Navigator app, which makes no sense at all when you can use the far superior Google Navigation for free.

Thanks for all the replies! Years ago I used their app (Telenav?) when Google was on the fritz but didn't remember being charged for it, I guess that's changed..but now I know so thanks!

Telenav is free, Telenav premium is not.
Thank you all for explaining this. I just got my first smart phone with Sprint at Best Buy, and they asked if I wanted to pay to add GPS to my plan. I said no of course, but didn't understand why I would have to pay to use the GPS from my phone in the first place...

Basically! Bumping this because it seems ppl are still confused by this. You have a choice to add it to your plan outside of the telenav app which is why sprint ask if you want to add it. It's the same as going premium from the app itself..

So not sure if this has been discussed previously but it would definitely help back up the need for improvement in the antenna or network. This app basically pings the cellphone towers for data and reports it, you can read more on the link below.

nice app thanks bro
just so you guys know this app is collecting our IMEI and ESNs (unique device id) i just started a thread on their forum asking them why.
edit: they changed the app so they no longer store our IMEI or ESN and added some security to the app. i am impressed by their response and just installed the app.
I figure both to distinguish what device and what network

Good info.
Also, be prepared for your battery life to decrease. These apps/services have been around for a while, and most users complaints are that the apps constantly running in the background kills their battery because it doesn't allow the phone to sleep properly.
So is this app basically like Sensorly?

Is it possible to use WiFi to make a call on evo 4g lte? I was able to do this on my my touch 4g while I was using t mobile. Thanks in advance for anyone that can answer this
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Different apps allow it through sip on evdo/4g/wifi, easy setup so far is google voice and I want to say $10 app that sets everything. The name was change awhile back and I don't remember what it is now
Edit: its called Groove IP and its now offered as lite and full for 4.99

I just tried it, and it did not work on WiFi

barely use it since its not convenient to pop out as it was on the OG Evo.
I've probably used it a handful of times at the most.
I've found it useful for using my phone at the table while eating to read articles and such.

I like having it. I had the original Evo, and was upset my Evo 3D didn't have it. That said, I rarely ever use it! Lol. I never watch TV shows or movies directly on my phone. I use my Asus Infinity tablet for that. If I do watch TV or movies on my phone, I stream them to my HTC Media Link. My TV has Netflix, YouTube, an Internet Explorer, and other apps built in to it, so I just use that sometimes. The Media Link is great, I use it quite often!! I pay for DroidTV, so I stream it to my Media Link from my phone or just use the special HDMI cable to hook up my tablet. The kickstand is a GREAT feature, and I hope the next Evo has one as well, even though I may never use it either, lol

It's really nice when you are trying to show a video to a group of people: just prop it down and everyone has the perfect angle. Then start the "oohs" and "aaahs" as they see this amazing phone.
So tomorrow I have to go to sprint

Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Try an app called "touchscreen test" in app store first....verify that your whole screen is detecting touches...of you find an area not responding then you can have a backup to show the store the defective digitizer which then they can repair/replace the phone...will save some hassle...and just to be safe, revert your phone to stock in case they try their "hard reset first" protocol...hope that helps to diagnose your problem.
Edit: just realized OP posted both times and you seemed to have figured it out...well in case someone else reads with same issues I guess
