Old EVO's market won't work - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, got kind of a weird problem. I changed carrier and got a new phone but would still like to use the EVO as a mp3 player and stuff. Only thing is that the market won't work anymore. Have any of you had this happen to you?

If you sign into the phone with your gmail account, there should not be an issue.

Hey! Thanks for answering. But my bad. I figured out what was wrong. Feel really stupid but I don't know why I didn't notice that the time and date were all off. Somehow after it lost service it got all screwed up. Once I got it set back to the correct time and date all was fine. Dammit. Lol.
Sorry bout that. Again, my bad. Always jumping the gun.

I rooted one of them but I unrooted and locked the bootloader again. But when I went to sams club Tmobile the rep told me rooted or not if its a hardware problem like what I had they'll still do the exchange.

I was thinking after the first one to switch already but I really wanted the camera from the amaze. I'm a Photographer so it was hard but after taking a good hard look, the s2 didn't have that much of a difference. Plus when I finally did the switch, this phone was on sale for 88 bucks. I paid 188 for the amaze. So when I did switch I got money back because they had to honor the sale price. So I got a better phone for me and for 100 bucks back

The amaze is a nice phone, but i feel like htc rushed it and could have given it a better screen and battery life. I was a user for 2 months.

It seems all they're doing is vomiting phones to us and rushing these damn incomplete devices. The sensation had an amazing community but nothing to save it's hardware and battery problems. These stupid companies need to slow down and make something great. I'm an HTC fan and just waiting for them to make something nice that I can replace my Galaxy with. Sorry guys.

The only problem that HTC devices have imo is Sense. The G1 was great for the couple years I had it. Look at the G2!! Great phone because it's running vanilla Android.
Sense = Fail
Always syncing in the background, taking up resources, and bogging the phone down. ESPECIALLY on the Mytouch 3G slide (oh what a mess that phone is). Every time someone walks into my store with a MT3G slide i think, "oh boy here we go" lol
Even on the HD2 windows phone!! The solution we gave a lot of customers was to turn Sense off and it solved pretty much everyone's problems with that phone.
Lol couldn't agree more. Sense is definitely eye candy, but i end up removing most of the stuff with titanium backup. I enjoy some things from there but eh. Seems to me like the mt4g was the last quality phone by them. The one with the good display at least. I remember getting 4 hours display time with that bad boy and that was running sense. Glad we have tdj and rk from there lol

I hear ya haha. I used to hate WM6.5 sooo much and was super hyped when I found out android had been ported over. That phone was one of the best over ever had, si many customization option when it came to ROMs. They even have ICS already. I would have kept it had it not been for the catastrophic drop that ruined the display

camera flash activating when shutting down

Hello,
Today when I restarted my phone, it got stuck on the "Goodbye" screen for longer than normal, then flashed the camera 3 times before shutting off. What is going on? Anyone have a similar issue? I am on stock, rooted.
Thanks
Happens to everyone, it is normal.

It may be an android thing. I remember my HD2 used to do this from time to time. I never found out why it does that though...
This happens to me quite often. Sometimes it just stay lit until the phone is completely off. It's just weird

Is it really worth it to replace my phone for this? It has only happened once over 5 months. How much did it happen to you? Does it signal something wrong with the phone if it has just happened once?
If it doesn't mean that something is wrong with my phone, I wouldn't really want to go through the hassle of a return :\
It happens to me and my brother randomly. Not a big deal

Do they replace with a brand new unopened box or a refurbished unit?
Lol really? ..jeez some of you complain about everything and anything.
LOVE the uninformed comments about how you should get your phone replaced if it does this or this is a sign of your t989 waving goodbye.
And then people wonder why the whole process of getting a replacement phone keeps getting worse.

so what? does it bother you?
Anyone can replicate this. While your phone is on, hold power/Vol up/Vol down all at the same time for about 10 seconds. That forces a reboot and your camera will flash until you let go.

Google play store maintenance

So the famous play store just did some maintenance and the servers were down for about ten minutes. I signed back in and now I have to re-pay for all my apps. Anyone else confirm this?
It happened yesterday just wait till they fix things you don't have to re-pay for all your apps again. It will fix itself. I thought the same thing yesterday.

Still doesn't allow payments via "tapping your phone" with NFC. Just lets you send money to people who have a email address and a bank account linked to it, it's basically PayPal.

That solves it. I've never bought anything from the store to be honest. Well I did have to enter it in when I bought my nexus 4 last year. BTW I wasn't trying to be harsh. I've just seen threads with frustrated people asking why g wallet doesn't work on their device. Even when I had it on my gnex i used it a few times. When I had it on my n 4 I never used it. I think I tried at at almost every place to see if I could get used to it. Most retailers don't even have that activated at their pos system. I found it faster to pull out my card.

I'm holding out hope that this will make nfc work any skeptics go read latest info for Google wallet in play store all you haters and paranoid im not putting my credit card on internet lol
You sound like my dad
That's what credit cards are for purchasing things and not being liable of you didn't make transaction lol.
Sorry for being optimistic.
We will know more by end of week
Read this and tell me what you get from it. Maybe our device won't be one of them but what I read and posted earlier today said all phones android 2.3 and higher.
I just dont see why they would do this just so we can send money to people in gmail ? And it says nfc
Nfc would have nothing to do with sending money to people threw email.
Who knows just something I'll keep my eye on ans thought you all might want to also. No one is forcing you to use it

After reading a few posts I went to the store to check out some more info and it let me install. This wasn't the case this morning, I just did a clean Rom flash and looked for ****s and giggles and at that time it said not compatible.

Hmm the app installs fine on mine per the article link above. Went to Play Store directly without some mod app. Haven't tried to use it to pay. Oh the article said NFC payment still requires a supported phone to do so. Not sure about the One.
