RE: OT : Rooting Android phones
Micheal, Not sure that’s 100% spot on, as there are different transmitter types, I know that Sprint phones ( no sim card ) are not compatible with the digital networks for ATT and I think Verizon. So at best, my Sprint EVO may only function in analog roaming form in an ATT only area, or some other functionally diminished capacity.

RE: OT : Rooting Android phones
if you have an HTC you can goto unrevoked and do the subradio hack which works on all upgrades forever. I use Rom Manager and run the MIUI rom which looks similar to an iphone (some love it , some hate it) but its very polished, the battery lasts forever compared to others .. and yes very important is tethering. Sprint wants 20 bucks a month more for tethering to be enabled on the phone so wireless tether is nice, and on 4g its even nicer (6dn 1up) From: Rene de Haas [mailto:rene.deh...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 8:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT : Rooting Android phones On my Samsung Galaxy S running android 2.2 tethering is on there already iirc.

RE: OT Rooting Android phones
Rooting also depends on your tinkering level, how necessary is your phone on your daily life. I have a nexus one running the custom Cyanogen Rom. Rooting is medium complex but once you get it, the whole world opens. I can now Tether my ipad on tmobile w/o paying extra, loaded better VPN modules, can run a full backup/restore of the phone, Skin the phone, added an IP camera App. Etc... But always be cautious that you can ruin your phone, rare but it happens.

RE: Rooting Android phones
Erik, I also have (and love) the EVO. I've always hacked and tinkered with every phone I have. I initially rooted the EVO a lot and played with many roms when I first purchased it. However, throughout time I have stopped doing so, and kept with the stock rom. Mainly because it got to be time consuming and I always found quirks. That, and when Sprint would release an update, I couldn't apply it because I was custom and 'special'. Sprint technicians are also getting pretty good at weeding out rooted phones and denying any support for those. I'm happy with my decision to stick with stock roms. I can still install some custom apps (Keyboards mainly). Check out the gingerbread one if you haven't yet. IMO the best so far. The only thing I currently see advantageous of a root is the ability to take a full image backup of your phone. But then again, I back up *most* of my phone nightly, so if I do lose the phone, I'm covered. Just have to spend time re-tweaking the new one. Hope this info helps. -Sam From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:egold...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 2:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT : Rooting Android phones Lately I've been seeing a number of articles and videos on rooting Android phones, including the HTC EVO that I use.

RE: OT : Rooting Android phones
Erik, I rooted my Motorola Droid when I first got it. I rooted it just to have root access but then found some apps that will allow me to tether my phone as a wi-fi hotspot. I had often loaded different roms and such but that got old real quick. I can't run updates on my phone because of my rooted access but I'm ok with that.
