I have a big fat 3500 mah battery. I also own a Defender. I put my EVO in the plastic Defender case WITHOUT the battery back on. I did not try to close the plastic case (it won't close), I just carefully stretched the rubber exterior over my ghetto rig and voila, IT FITS! The answer is...

I bought the recommended car charger from Sprint and it sucks. When plugged in, my phone drains almost as fast as if it wasn't plugged in at all. I have read that some chargers are much more powerful than others. What should I look for? Any suggestions? Also, I have this transformer thing...

I've noticed that when I have my bluetooth headset connected to my phone, the headset rings when someone calls but the phone doesn't. Is there a way I can make them both ring in case I'm not wearing my headset?

I am a person that likes to look at something in person before I buy it. I am also a serial returner so I want the option to do that easily. One would think with the popularity of the EVO, someone would sell an EVO Dock at a real live store. Best Buy - No. Radio Shack - No. CompUSA (formerly...

Ok, now THIS is weird. Overnight, apparently my SD Card died. Android could not mount it and when I put it in my card reader and looked at it, it was EMPTY and showed only 30.2 mb capacity. Fracked. I tried formatting it and even writing a file to it. The 30.2 mb worked like a charm. So I...

Hi all, I'm depressed. You see, after months of playing with my EVO, tweaking it and trying every new rom, kernel and theme that came down the pike, it is now pretty much PERFECT. It's fast. It looks good and my home screens are laid out just right. Crap! :rolleyes: P.S.: cm6 nightly /...

Ordered 2 3000mah batteries with one back for $20 usd and got 2 3500mah with 2 back covers. These don't look like cheap knockoffs either. Color me impressed.

Snap is out with their latest cm6 kernel and this puppy screams. Seeing Quadrant Scores over 2400! Just google Snap Kernel and check it out. P.S. This does NOT use the sd/ext i/o trick.

For some reason, my battery gets very hot occasionally when I am charging it. Other times it doesn't get hot at all. Wonder why?

Hi all, Anyone who tells you you don't need a screen protector for your EVO because the glass can't scratch is lying to you. Believe me, it can. But the problem with screen protectors is that it seems almost impossible to get them on just right without bubbles or dust getting under them and...

Sometimes I wish I was Dr Frankenstein and could take the parts I like from all 5 major browsers and put them together into one SUPER-browser. 1. Stock Browser (full-featured but slow) 2. Dolphin HD (medium quick but weird bookmarking scheme) 3. Opera Mini (fast and great bookmarks, but no...

Hi all, I use a Live Wallpaper .apk called "Waterize Live" that is very cool. You can basically make any wallpaper look like it is submerged in water. Anyway, the only problem is that it only takes images that are sized perfectly to fit in "portrait" mode on your EVO. I will use larger...

I currently have an evo. Was feeling some cravings for the epic with the slideout keyboard. Anyway they had one at local sprint store so I checked it out. Phone has an overall cheap feel to it for me. The biggest disappointment was the hard plastic buttons on the keyboard. My fingers kept...

Hi guys, Decided to try Snap's 7.5 kernel. Did a full wipe and flash with cm6 but lost wifi. Tried nandroiding back and still no wifi. So, wifi is broken. How do I fix it?

I've been trying all the new kernels out there and still my best performance is coming on Snap 7.1 running the latest cm6 nightly. Quadrant over 2200 and Linpack over 39 (see pictures): I don't think Snap 7.1 gets into all the heavy voltage regulation stuff. For me, I'm not willing to...
