I dropped my phone at SXSW this weekend in Austin because someone ran into me but luckily I have a case on it and I didn't sustain any damage, however, my data speeds have been terrible and before that they were really fast. At my house I don't get the same speeds that I have had before and I have to use my WiFi now. Could this be due to refarming or the radio is now going bad from the fall? I do get full bars on H and I never had speed issues at my home until after I dropped my phone. It just does not load sometimes. P.S. I have not tried a hard reset but I'm thinking I may have to do that and need to backup everything but I don't really want to go that route. I have so much on my phone and this is that one time an external sd slot would have been beneficial. Any ideas?

try taking off your case? or maybe your holding it wrong lol
placebo effect. you're looking for something to have happened, so you're thinking it did happen.
This are the times when being rooted is a life saver. Backup everything and wipe or factory reset to test. Or restore a nand backup to see if the drop had some effect.
Or maybe because of the place you are at your cell tower is maxed out. If there's thousands of people in a small area all using their phones on the same network your bandwidth will be affected. I noticed this whenever I would use any of my phones at disney. I would have full bars and hspa+ and yet it would be dling at half a megabit or less. Once outside the park area speeds were quick again.

I tried it on my mom's phone and my friends phone and I realized their phone's don't get the speeds they used to either so I can definitely rule out any radio or hardware damage. PHEW!!!

Sprint should replace the stock battery under TEP. If you have it. At least around here I cant tell you how many times ive walked in with other devices ive had and told them the battery either didnt work or it would hold a charge for poop and no questions asked they just took the phone from me and stuck in a battery (new or used I honestly couldnt tell you). And just chalked it up to TEP.
or goto a popular hotel and tell them you left your spare battery and charger in your hotel room...

And . . . what? They'll let you into the room to get it?
FYI, you can get OEM batteries on Ebay pretty cheap. Saw one for under $6 shipped the other day. Also, I believe these batteries are the same as the ones in the Sprint Hero, if that widens your search results. And finally, back in the day a lot of people just walked into a Sprint store and asked for a new battery and they gave them one from a return/refurb/repair or something.
It was the jeans........ We tried to warn you!!

naw unless this is you
Its ur skinny jeans that cause your battery to die. The friction and rubbing cause electoral interfernce making it hot which increase heat also send radtion to your balls so you wont produce sperm when you get older.

I got something like this and like it:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-EVO-4G-EXTE...ltDomain_0&hash=item3368b1bf51#ht_1622wt_1187
and you have an extra battery you can keep charged in the wall charger. All for only 20 bucks. If i am going to be out for a while i throw the extra battery in my pocket.
And we care if your stupid battery dies? Do you want to inform us every time you use your phone also?

Speeds in Puerto Rico have been really slow since a couple of months ago. All my friends with Sprint have called Customer Service and they always say that they are making changes to the network and that this problem is temporary. But it have not changed! In fact its getting worse. Yesterday I was really close to a cell tower. I mean I could see the effin light on the top blinking. I could not even get roaming signal! I was not alone as my friend with an Evo and another one with a Samsung where not able to to connect either...
I am strongly considering changing to ATT... They have good Androids now and at least I would have a signal and would not have to pay 10 extra bucks...

I contact Sprint customer service and they told me that there is a temporary outage since 8/22/11 and technicians are working on it. I asked if I would get reimburse for the time without service and the CSR told that I would get reimburse once the service is back and running again.
I have an available upgrade right now, what should I be looking at? I was thinking about the Samsung Galaxy III. I broke my phone in two pieces so kind of in a time crunch to get something fast.
Thanks!
Well depends on your personal preference. Since you already have the OG EVO I would recommend the new EvoLTE. Great all around phone & a major upgrade from your deceased phone. The GSIII is also a great phone with almost identical specs & performance. Most of the disagreements comes down to personal preferences like Sense vs TouchWiz or LCD2 vs AMOLED. Both are excellent phones and you really can't go wrong with either.

YAAAA thats what I'm talking about... I mean ohh sorry bro. How the hell did that happen. I love how the back cover is just chilling there with no marks. I mainly work with HTC's I'm not sure how you get out the internal SD on the GNEX but it shouldn't be hard. Wish I could help you out more. Though I am currently bidding on a broken GNEX on ebay. So hopefully soon I will know all the hardware in and outs of it.

I'm back to my Thunderbolt but so pissed that theres no ICS roms! WTF! Grrrrrr
JB is already out and it rocks... I guess I'll just get an S3......
But the thing I LOVE about the HTC that it actually is smart enough to see many contacts and it gives you suggestions to MERGE them! What a concept! My Nexus had 1180 contacts.... none merged. total fail.
After installing the latest OTA, (I'm 100% stock no root, don't hate,) i had to go back into the ##3282# menu and zero out the proxy values. No problem, I've been used to having to redo this after updates/rom flashes ever since my EvoOG. However, this time around, as soon as i did the mod, my Youtube videos stopped loading! I would IMMEDIATELY get a server error and tap to retry message. I went and restored the stock proxy values, and sure enough, the videos now work like a charm every time. Thanks Sprint/HTC, if you spent as much time getting us Jellybean as you do making our lives difficult, maybe your inboxes wouldnt be flooded with complaints =] i wish you and your devs uncontrollable diarrhea while stuck in traffic tonight.

Hey, can you recommend a mounting device? Also, what kind of a bike do you have?
I would recommend NOT taking your device to a lake in a canoe.... Or anything electronic, for that matter.
My N7 is always with me when I travel, which is often :victory: or at school to view my class notes which our teachers give us that are all in pdf.

You can cache the maps locally I think. Select and area and type ok maps. I also just downloaded CoPilotLive. That should solve the need for a network connection as the 1.3GB of maps are stored locally. Stay safe!
