sd card!!

[BrianBaker]

Just got my Evo,is there a special trick to getting the sd card out after unlocking?Im trying to pull it but its not very easy..Any ideas before i break this thing?

EDIT:Tweezers,got it..Shoulda came with a complementary pair.

I just pried mine upward until the end was maybe 1/8 th fan inch up, then pulled it out. Tweezers help.

Bundo,been following you these passed few days.Have you found away to sync your contacts into the evo? HTC Sync isnt working for me...Figured id ask you here and not start another thread topic.

I have big fingers, so it was even harder for me than for normal people I ended up sticking the corner of a credit card under it, then pressing down on the top with my thumb while I pulled the credit card out. Worked quite well and no risk of damage, but I definitely won't be removing the card very often. PITA, especially having to take the battery out. Ah well, if that's the worst problem I have with the phone I'm doing pretty darn well!

Thank you for that..Out of everything ive learned on these forums the passed year the one thing i never had a problem with was HTC Sync and syncing contacts..So google sync is an app?

Yep, that's the way. Just saw this, but here's how it worked for me. It was a little pain setting up with the TP2. Here is a page that shows how to do it from what you have now (much harder than on the Evo, it's automatic on the Evo):

http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/

I have a TP2, so clicked on the directions for Windows. When I got the Evo, I just set up my email, and my Contacts, Calendar, and Email were all synced (you have to uncheck Tasks, but I don't use that anyway). It was so fast and easy, even setting up the Gmail email was super easy. Yahoo was easy too. The Contacts, etc., are then available universally on the Evo.

As for software, other than the Market, I have found some stuff to install online, and they all have had the square barcode thing, and I just start the Barcode program (free in the Market), aim it at the onscreen barcode (no button presses to make), and it scans until it has it read, then links the download and you accept, etc., and the software installs. Super easy.

I just backed up my contacts on to my gmail account...took a min to figure out how to do it..but afterwards...worked perfectly...Now I just have to wait and get my Evo..in August! boohoo!
