IPhone vs Verizon HTC EVO 4G
I'm eligible for an upgrade to the new 4g but I'm seriously thinking about Verizon's HTC EVO instead.
I have a Mac, MacPro and iPad. Would the HTC EVO interface with those as well as the current iPhones?
Or will I be shut out of syncing all together?
I have an iPhone on AT&T and have tried the HTC Evo for about a week, and am planning to return this weekend and get the iPhone 4 instead.
There are a lot of things I like about Android philosophically (openness, cloudyness, dynamism) and functionally (launcher, multi-taksing) but unfortunately it just does not feel refined enough to compete with the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. Transitions such as scrolling are laggy and have truly bizarre physics. Also, allowing handset manufacturers infuse the OS with their own apps is in my mind for the most part a bad idea bound to create UI problems. While HTC Sense is a competently executed UI, it contradicts many Android design tenets and duplicates core applications such as Mail, which ends up causing confusion, multiple notifications, and probably negatively impacts battery and performance.
The HTC Evo is a great handset but does not feel nearly as solid as any iPhone. Also the battery life is truly utterly abysmal and pathetic. I've managed to drain the battery in 6-12 hours every day of this week with low-moderate use and while turning off features such as WiFi and GPS for most part. The screen however is wonderful and puts my current iPhone to shame. It has unexpected issues for me though, in that it makes the device too large to fit my hands comfortably.
Lastly, I had been warned that Android apps were well behind the iPhone in terms of choice and quality. Well, on the choice side Android is doing quite well actually and has some unique apps that may never make it to the iPhone (certain Google apps, Audible app) but overall I was quite astonished at the lack of polish that almost every app had.
So, I really want to love Android and would probably stick with it and see it evolve, if it weren't for the most pathetic battery life of a mobile device ever. But at the moment I feel like the iPhone still has a dramatic lead in terms of polish which to me is essential in a mobile device.

When switching from HTC evo to iphone 4s on sprint service the attendant said all my music, photos, and videos would transfer after some time. Does anyone know if this is true, or has anyone had this issue happen to them? It has been 8 hours since the switch and only my contacts transferred right away.
Well i wouldn't see why your photo's, videos and music would trasnfer. As that is a android device, there is no way to have them transfer over the air to the iphone.
Contacts probably came from google. Your videos and such you would have to move them to PC then to the iphone. Same with your music. -

Have had Firefox for years on my mac and works great. Downloaded today new 4.0 on desktop mac OS 10.6.7 and works great. Have sync and decided to follow instructions to download Firefox to my HTC EVO 4G. Seemed to download correctly and did get the 3 part key and entered fine. Firefox icon shows up with icon in list of All apps and will work if clicked upon.
But, how do I make Firefox my home page on my phone? When I select magnifying glass key on glass I go to standard google homepage I've had since day one. I'd like to go directly to Firefox as I do on the desktop.Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ? -
ICal/DoubleTwist/HTC Evo Sync Issue
I have been using DoubleTwist to sync my HTC Evo calendar events to iCal (maybe 3 times). Since last time, all iCal events and calendars disappeared. I now can't add (option is grayed out) or edit events (as none are showing) or view calendars or do anything in iCal--not even print (msg: "There is nothing to print."). Since then, iCal tried to email reminders of events that were previously entered, but where are they? When I select new calendar, nothing happens...How do I get iCal working again??
Same here. After the update to 10.5 I have succesfully done one sync between my Treo and iCal using MissingSync. Now iCal gives an error, see below. What is the workaround? Downgrading to 10.4.x? Or get an iCal 2 somewhere and run that?
I really want to get my ToDo and Calendar data from my Treo before I go from my Treo 650 to an iPhone. Any workaround is welcome.

My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon. I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem, The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
8gb free,
ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
carrier - Verizon 14.0
Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
Can someone help.
I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
computer osx is 10.5.8
itunes version 10.
I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues. -

How do I increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon )? The phone volume is fine. I have adjusted both side volume buttons as well as the volume control in settings.
Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty. Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4. -
Hello guys I have a question,or rather a problem. how can I detach yourself iPhone operator Verizon USA? I mean as to call and what to say? I live in Ukraine, and the opportunity came up for to buy cheap 4S 16GB. but on Verizon. when I insert the original SIM card Verizon and I try to activate, says: (error occurred activation, if this problem happen again please call at +1................). this is the hour to use it through the R-SIM 9 pro. everything works нормальнои calls and Internet and SMS, but I want to officially unlock. beforehand thank you
Well, you managed to find this support forum didn't you and you have an internet connection don't you? Then if you have all these things, go and find the number by going to the Verizon website and it should not be hard to find the number.
As for speaking English, this is not really our problem and it is surely something that you should have thought about before buying the phone in the first place.
You also need to know that Verizon in the US is a cdma operator and if you purchased an iPhone 4s, then it should not be locked. The Verizon 4s comes with a sim card tray that should be unlocked out of the box for use internatinoally on gsm networks, so all you should need to do is open the sim card tray and insert a sim card and you should pick up the local gsm network.
A cdma phone does not actually use a sim card, so there would be no original sim card with the phone because when it is used in the US it will pick up the Verizon cdma network without a sim card. The sim card is only for use on a gsm network which will not work in the US, but is designed to work outside the US. Open the sim card tray and insert your own local sim card and the phone should work and should not be locked.
Other than this, if you purchased the phone in the first place, it is the responsibility of the previous owner to cancel the Verizon contract. This is nothing to do with you, so contact the seller and ask them.
Other wise, go to the Verizon website and look up the number and call them. As they are the phone company, ultimately, they are the only ones who can help you. -
I'm switching from iPhone 3GS AT&T iOS 4.3 to new iPhone 5 Verizon. Apple online suggests iTunes 11.0.1 on MB OS 10.6.8 to backup contacts, etc. How do I know if backup really worked? I created a new contact on my iPhone and a different one in my calendar on the MB. Connected iPhone to the MB and synched/backedup. However, I can't find my iPhone contact in MB AddressBook and vice versa. Did the backup work? I cannot afford to lose my calendar, contacts, etc when I get my new iPhone 5. thanks!

IPhone 4 (Verizon) Screen burn-in
I noticed on my iPhone 4 (Verizon) that part of the screen (from the lower left corner to the top right corner) has what looks like a gesture burn-in/blemish no matter how I try to clean off the touch screen but it would not remove.
Im not sure if its from an App/Game I was using but I'm curious how it could burn-in/blemish like that? is there a way to get that repaired?
thanks.Hi everyone. I have some more details. The iPhone does not show in iTunes, iRecovery, or any other programs.
