Smarty phones suck.
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-foru...843/22662.aspx
Haven't seen any articles about this but I have seen this problem in person. My friend was showing it to me. He said he tried the hard resets like these people and the problem hadn't been fixed.
Any Evo users come across this?
On a different note, if you use Fring, you can talk between an IPhone and an Evo with the face cam.
Smarty phones suck.
You post anything to make your precious iphone look better.
I already got Ray doing that for me. He actually seems envious. I almost found myself telling him, "But your Evo's pretty cool too."You post anything to make your precious iphone look better.
You're just saying that because I couldn't make it lose a signal with the "death grip".
Riiiiiight.
My girlfriend's iPhone4 seems so, so limited after using the Evo. It's not even a comparison. Of course, if you like software that holds your hand with everything you do, by all means, the iPhone is it.
Now, if you don't mind me, I'm going to go watch a few movies with Rockplayer that I shuffled onto my Evo when I was using it as an external hard drive (I like paying for storage that I'm not told what I can and can't do with it). Cause, ya know, Rockplayer supports about every file format under the sun, so even random AVI files will play on it. Maybe after that I'll fire up PSX4Droid and play some Final Fantasy VII. You know, because the Evo doesn't need Steve's unconditional approval to do something cool or new. Like, hey, how about watching movies on Hulu? The Evo will do that in 3 days when full flash support arrives.
Hey, at least she got a case so that she can finally make calls for it. Hopefully the super awesome free case that Apple is sending her will make it's projected ship date of October 8th. But her reception is so atrocious the way it is that she couldn't even make calls with it, so she needed a cheap case in the interim.
Jealous.There isn't even a debate between which is the more capable phone, IMO. If you know nothing at all about tech, by all means I recommend the iPhone. If you know what you're doing, I don't know why you'd ever want tech that's already falling way, way behind what Android is capable of.
For what it's worth, I've never even heard of this problem, and it doesn't seem like too many users are experiencing it. It's not even a topic I can find at XDA forums at the moment. I wonder if they used a custom boot ROM and didn't install it correctly.

Yeah.... Don't try too hard to convince everyone that you don't have an Evo inferiority complex. It's very unbecoming.
Riiiiiight.

My friend wanted to race the download speeds between the two phones. I told him, "Sure just after we see who can get to his home menu first." He's hoping the update fixes his problem so he doesn't have to get another phone.
I have yet to have that problem. The one thing that's bugging me now is the Evo won't take a headphone connection completely. I have to jiggle it around to get it to recognize the headphones and because of that, I don't get the full sound.
if nathan explosion says the evo sucks then it ing sucks
FWIW, I received my free bumper from Apple yesterday. So I'm not sure where the October 8th date came from...
I've also been running Flash 10.1 on my iPhone 4 and iPad for a couple of weeks now, courtesy of froyo's flashplayer plugin actually.
I like the way you think.
Where would you find that?
I'm sorry, did you not just create this thread? It's amazing that responding to an Evo bashing thread means I have an inferiority complex.
If I wanted an iPhone 4 on AT&Ts network, I would have bought one.
Google 'frash'
Why can't just different people be happy with different phones?
The whole need to bash one unit to prop the other is completely re ed. One phone is better than the other in certain things, and the other is better in other things. Happens with every set out there.
That's exactly what I said in various threads. I have an IPhone because I have AT&T. If I had Sprint, I'd have an Evo.
I just love how when I mention the IPhone, Evo fanboys have to come on here talking about how great the Evo is and how much better it is than anything. A few more IPhone threads and I'm going to start hearing about how the Evo can be rooted to cure cancer, stop deforestation, and solve world hunger, while actually reducing the carbon footprint of the user.
We get it, you like the phone. Stop posting it at every mention about the IPhone because you come off as having an inferiority complex everytime you do.
I started this thread as a warning to other Evo users to be on the lookout for this problem should it occur to you. It's not getting advertised like any problem with the IPhone but I'd imagine it's a big deal to the user if it happens.
As for the back and forth between Sly and myself, we actually work together. Sly is the one who told me about this site. We're talking about a coworker of ours. Basically, it's something none of the other posters here will get because it's about someone that they don't know and we do. If you know that coworker, you'd get what I was saying and why it would be funny.
The whole IPhone/Evo comparison we had was not to see which one was better but to give us an excuse to stop working and play with our phones for 20 minutes.
yesterday four of us (2 IPhones/2 Evos) we're messing around trying to figure out which program was better for video chatting in quality and ease of use. We used Facetime, Fring, and Quik. Facetime needs a WiFi signal but is the clearest of them all. Fring doesn't need WiFi and allows communication between the 2 phones and Quik is a driod App so I couldn't tell you the results of it.
All in all, about 30 minutes of time wasted. Highlight of the work day by far as work is so mundane right now.
I take it you jailbroke (is that a word) your iPad and phone?
This. I can totally appreciate the iPhone 4. As I've stated many times, I recommended it to my girlfriend, and she loves it, now that she has a case.
I just laugh when someone says, "Well, I think person X is jealous of me", because it smacks of insecurity.
The Evo, if utilized to the fullest extent, does things that the iPhone cannot and will not ever do. To me, that makes me wonder how someone could be jealous of the latter if they really know how to use Android.
No, I'm a developer, so I have a little more leeway to do some stuff without jailbreaking.
This in a thread led "Another Evo Problem", with the added mention of an Evo user being "jealous". Right. You're just casually mentioning stuff to help other people.
Ah. I read the code for Frash is open so people can tweak it and make it more stable. I wonder how hard/long away it is to make it able to install without a jailbreak.
Being that you're a developer what say you about the whole thing?
Can't you read?This in a thread led "Another Evo Problem", with the added mention of an Evo user being "jealous". Right. You're just casually mentioning stuff to help other people.
You wouldn't get what is being said, so stop commenting on it.If you know that coworker, you'd get what I was saying and why it would be funny.
Forgive me for not realizing the le of the thread was an inside joke when I was not privy to said joke.
And the iPhone 4, if utilized to the fullest, can do things that the Evo cannot do and will never be able to do.
Hardware constrains are a two way street and normally are overcome with the next generation of hardware.
Software-wise, you can do whatever with either.
Not gonna happen without jailbreaking, IMO.
