For some unknown reason my phone stop receiving e-mails all it will do is the little circle on the bottom of the screen keeps spinning and "checking for mail" comes up. What did I do wrong. It's been working fine ever since I got the phone. Also I just updated to 4.02. Help Please thanks in advance. I have a 3gs Well if it has been working without a problem until now I would first just do a basic restart and see if you see a change in the phones behavior, that clears up a lot of minor issues most of the time. Just hold down the power button until the shut-down screen comes up and slide to shutdown. Then hold the power button until the apple logo shows on screen and let go. The phone will start up and then check your email to see it that clears up the issue. :smileyhappy:

Exclusive: Motorola MB520 ‘Kobe’ boasts a Droid X-esque UI, AT&T affinity
What is Motorola Kobe? The device, also known by its model number MB520, seems to be popping up on a couple of certification websites. UPnP Forum certified it on June 16, 2010 (listed as "Kobe ATT"), and additionally on July 8th the smartphone quietly got a thumbs up from the WiFi Alliance for single band (2.4GHz) 802.11b/g/n. Of course, an IEEE standard does not a phone make, and so we've been in touch with a trusted source who's provided us with specifications of the device, as well as screencaps of some benchmarks results and the all-important About Phone page. The Kobe is a slate-style smartphone currently featuring Android 2.1 with a Motoblur skin reminiscent of Droid 2 / Droid X 's UI. We're told it has a 3.5-inch LCD with 480 x 854 resolution, a 800MHz TI OMAP processor (either 3440 or an underclocked 3630), PowerVR SGX 530 GPU, 512MB RAM, 2GB internal storage and a bundled 2GB microSD card, and a 3 megapixel camera (without flash). It currently comes loaded with Swype, Vlingo, and DNLA support. We gotta say, camera notwithstanding, this sounds like a pretty appealing addition to AT&T's growing Android lineup. Hit up the gallery below for benchmark scores.

HTC EVO 4G suffering new calendar bug, cracked shells, broken dreams?
It wouldn't be the first time the EVO's been dinged for a manufacturing defect , but it seems that at least a few owners are reporting cracks near the power button. Fortunately, these cracks seem to be purely cosmetic without any effect on feel or any real danger of the case falling apart -- and seeing how other high-profile devices have suffered similar fates , we can certainly buy that there are high-stress points in the phone's case where this is prone to happen. We'll wait a moment to continue the story while you pull your EVO out of your pocket and check yours. Alright, now that we have you back, the second issue is purely software -- and arguably quite a bit more troublesome than a tiny, harmless crack. Apparently, the recent Android 2.2 upgrade has introduced a bug whereby event descriptions are being overwritten by their locations when you open them, which basically means this is a legit data loss problem. No ETA yet on a fix, but considering that it's been filed and verified in Android's official tracking system, we're hopeful it's going to get patched up sooner rather than later.

did you try a soft reset? Hold the power and home buttons at the same time until the phone reboots.

Sprint Launches 4G for Five More Markets Today, Epic 4G’s Official Site Goes Live
Sprint’s announcing the continued expansion of their growing 4G network (something that’s starting to become a nice trend for Mondays). While today’s expansion might not be as beefy as weeks past, we can’t say we’re disappointed about it. Those in Modesto and Stockton, California will finally be able to enjoy 4G coverage today after many of you were accidentally able to tap into the network not too long. Additionally, Sprint customers in Jacksonville, Florida, Wilmington, Delaware, and Grand Rapids, Michigan are all being lit up. With the HTC EVO 4G out now and the Samsung Epic 4G headed our way sometime soon, we can only imagine these 4G expansions will continue to spill out like water from a bottle as Sprint’s newfound business model mostly depends on them getting as many people as they can using 4G services. Sprint’s also launched their promotional site for the Samsung Epic 4G earlier. There’s not much to see here except some eye-candy, specs, and a sign-up form to be notified when the phone becomes available, but that should be enough to get you too click on through , no? Sprint Launches 4G Coverage in Delaware, Florida and Michigan and Extends 4G Coverage in California Modesto, Calif., Stockton, Calif., Jacksonville, Fla., Wilmington, Del., and Grand Rapids, Mich., Launched Today OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug 02, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Today, Sprint (NYSE:S) unveiled 4G service to populous areas of California, Delaware, Florida and Michigan.

Wilmington, Jacksonville and Grand Rapids are the first cities in Delaware, Florida and Michigan to offer 4G service. With 4G, Sprint customers experience fast mobile downloads, streaming video without the lag, and turbo-charged Web browsing. This new wireless technology boasts download speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G.1 Users can video chat with friends and family via the popular HTC EVO(TM) 4G, America’s first 3G/4G wireless smartphone. And in the near future, Sprint customers will be able to purchase Samsung Epic(TM) 4G, the company’s second 4G enabled smartphone. With the Overdrive(TM) 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot by Sierra Wireless, users can create a 4G hotspot on the road or at home. With the Sprint Free Guarantee, customers can try 4G for 30 days and if they are not satisfied, they can cancel service and have the opportunity to be fully reimbursed.2 Sprint also offers simplicity and savings vs. competitors with Everything Data plans, which include unlimited Web, texting and calling while on the Sprint network for one low price. “Sprint customers are the first in the country to use 4G with either a smartphone like HTC EVO or one of Sprint’s other 4G devices like the 3G/4G Overdrive Hotspot to wirelessly connect a laptop to the Internet,” said Matt Carter, president of 4G, Sprint. “Later this year, Sprint will launch Boston, Miami, New York and Los Angeles, enabling millions more to harness this powerful new service.” As summer travel continues, people will find that 4G is available in many markets across the country: California – Merced, Modesto, Stockton and Visalia; Delaware – Wilmington; Florida – Jacksonville; Georgia – Atlanta and Milledgeville; Hawaii – Honolulu and Maui; Idaho – Boise; Illinois – Chicago; Maryland – Baltimore; Michigan – Grand Rapids; Missouri – Kansas City and St. Louis; New York – Rochester and Syracuse; Nevada – Las Vegas; North Carolina – Charlotte, Greensboro (along with High Point and Winston-Salem), Raleigh (along with Cary, Chapel Hill and Durham); Oregon – Eugene, Portland and Salem; Pennsylvania – Harrisburg, Lancaster, Philadelphia, Reading and York; Texas – Abilene, Amarillo, Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Killeen/Temple, Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, San Antonio, Waco and Wichita Falls; Utah – Salt Lake City; Virginia – Richmond; Washington – Bellingham, Seattle, Tri-Cities and Yakima.
