[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StrikkerXX:
Guys! Good News!

Sprint released the new software update (3.16.651.3) today! It is supposed to address the bugs that was made aware, thanks to this thread...

Good job OP and everyone else involved with bug reporting... I'll let you guys know once I finished updating if there are still any bugs left (or new ones) in the new software build

EDIT:

Here's the official fixes for the new update

Enhancements/Fixes:

- Proximity sensor improvements while on a call or listening to voicemail

- Ability to output audio/video to HDTV (and other external displays via MHL cable)

- WiFi Connection improvements

- Bluetooth compatibility improvements

- Android process/application shutdown resolved
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
just the tip of the iceberg... lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StrikkerXX:
Yeah... There's still some annoyances that is noticeable (expanded notifications isn't the default view mode... still gotta pinch out to see it).. But it fixes the battery drain when in a LTE-poor area, wifi connects better, fixes proximity issues, and it seems to run smoother (could be a placebo effect).

At least this build is live-able, until we can hopefully get Sense 5 and Android 4.2 ... Hopefully.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
I love this update and it fixed the prox issue, so I'm happy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AngelofChaos:
yeah I've noticed the wifi definitely connects better, highly doubt we'll get Sense 5 and Android 4.2. Its great we've gotten support but it just seems Sprint just wants to quickly write off the EVO, its not even on the front page of their site anymore, all they have up there now are the inferior iCrap products.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iamkoza:
well the phone has been out for 8 months now.... and I'm sure the icrap and S3 are drastically outselling the evo... so I cant blame them
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scarletspider1982:
Well from what I can see the patch worked. but my phone still don't like my router. I shouldn't need to buy a different brand of router just to use wifi.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Indirect:
We'll likely see 4.2. We're not even half way into a contract cycle so maybe HTC will break their current streak of one major OS upgrade per device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
I sure hope we get 4.2...if not I'd at least like to get 4.1.2. But 4.2 would definitely be ideal. For now I'm happy. This update rocks, enjoying the phone, and don't see any "major" advantages of the newer OS other than photosphere. But obviously I'd welcome another update. Especially since I keep my phones for the full two year contracts....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gameaddict8:
Evo 4g got 2.2 & 2.3.

Odds of klp are slim. I'd welcome 4.2.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Indirect:
...that's what I said. Sense 5 is 4.2.1. :|

Also allow me to correct you. KLP chance is 0%. Hell, even 4.2.1 is pushing it but it's still jelly bean and not a giant leap from 4.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Realize its not all on HTC as Sprint pays for the support/updates done to their devices....

Honestly I'm lil surprised they didn't toss 4.1.2 in this OTA.... Likely a strong sign that HTC has been working OT on the M5 and new devices for this year and can't devote many resources to current slate.... Least not unless the carrier is going to fork over the $ to pay for the extra resources needed...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Indirect:
I never stated that all of this is on HTC. But unless they feel it's a good business move to push a higher version number to our devices, they won't do it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
So, in your opinion will we get 4.1.2 or 4.2.1 or will this be our last update?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gameaddict8:
I dont see why this phone wouldnt get 2 updates. 4.1 4.2. Htc supports the evo line. Look at the photon series for slow/non updates.

Klp isnt even announced yet. The gs3 is probably going to get it and the evo lte is the same gen. There is an outside chance. Doesnt matter though , my upgrade will be available around that time frame anyways.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
Aosp ftw
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Honestly was expecting 4.1.2 on this OTA initially.... If we get further OTAs will depend on if sprint EOLs the device soon or not... If the device stays active and off the list then we should get 4.2.1....

The issue is Google released that 2nd JB version and is following it up with KLP coming up here soon... So I'd almost venture to say it'd be worth it to straight skip 4.1.2 and even 4.2.1 and go straight to KLP by end of year depending on how much of an overhaul it is...that's my thought if I'm HTC at least...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Indirect:
I'd be willing to agree with this. It does seem like a better business move to skip past it all and do 5.0 so lets just hope HTC has good business sense :x (pun intended)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
Gotcha. It'll be interesting to see if we get anything else and if so what. The device, so far, has been receiving great support (IMO) it'd be nice for that to continue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gameaddict8:
Give me photosphere and let me disable power saver notification bar htc! I'll be a happy camper.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
Photosphere would be nice, for sure. But the power saver thing is on Sprint, if I understand correctly...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Anyone notice an abnormally long pause with the camera before continuous shooting begins?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
No, just tried it out for you. Mine works right away.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
So does mine, fast.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Thanks guys taking this phone back then
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AsinX:
The only bugs I see now on 3.16 update are

[1] Notifications in Drawer are not Actionable/Expandable

[2] Navigation freezing/crashing

[3] Google Now FCs when you ask it 'What song is this?'
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cordy:
1. Aren't actionable Notifications part of 4.2? I am sure 4.1 made them expandable which they are with a pinch to expand instead of 2 fingers sliding down. And 4.2 made them actionable if the developer added in the feature.

2. I'm hoping its something Google can fix with an update to maps but if not it did get better with the second update. It doesn't crash as quickly as with the original jb update. It seems like a gl/rendering problem. If you start navigation and switch to directions list Maps won't force close but if you leave it trying to render the map it does. Probably the same culprit behind random graphical artifacts and glitches when using the normal UI.

3. I see people mention the sound search all the time as being broken. I remember when this issue first came up is because the phones were missing the sound search app that Google Now calls when you ask it "what song is it?" I haven't seen this posted but if you download the Google Sound Search App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ears it should fix that. I haven't actually tried it but feel free to post the results. HTC doesn't include that app in their JB updates but this is built into Google Devices hence why it works on them automatically.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 007math:
So I never saw this bug in 3.15, but when I updated to 3.16 (stock, no root) I am seeing this bug. Is there any fix this? I hate having to manually split messages.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gutrrob:
I've noticed while on the stock browser the status bar will pop up periodically for 2-3 seconds while browsing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 84guy:
Bug: 3 times now sense home has had a huge fps drop, rest of phone works perfect but home is to laggy to use, a reset fixes it but its annoying and i have no idea how to reproduce it, did a hard reset and still happens

Edit: seems as tho i might of found the problem. twice ive been able to recreate it with the app called iGag, i think it ends up using too much memory and something ends up closing in the background that causes the fps loss in sense(still dunno whats closing) switched to infinitegag to see if it happens again(hasnt yet)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Arguntom:
Expandable action notifications is an update unique that started with android 4.2. The recent EVO LTE update was an upgrade from 4.0.2 to android 4.1, so we are incredibly behind on the updates, and we have yet to get to the point where we can have the expandable action notifications, so that's not a bug.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fnoji111:
this is bug?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 84guy:
Almost everything you said was false.

we went from 4.0.4

pinch to expand because it did come with 4.1 but htc did it a little different

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
Odd, maybe it'll start working for me then..here's hoping.

To the people mentioning the mic not being on the keyboard, not sure which keyboard yall are using but it's there for me. It's not a dedicated button now, you hold down the period button and it comes up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] o0adam0o:
Navigation freezes. I have tried clearing cache... clearing data... install/reinstall google maps... reset gps (##GPSCLRX#) and still it freezes after only 1-2 minutes of using navigation.

Sometimes my Voicemail app will FC. I can live with that tho

My last resort is hard reset :/

Anyone that is not rooted: How does 3rd party wireless tethering (not Sprints) work for you? FoxFi (purchased) works for me but when it creates a hotspot.. i see a notification on top that says something about Sprints Mobile Hot Spot is enabled. Did it do this before JB? Does that mean Sprint will charge me for it now? (i have been using Clockworkmod USB tether and its working fine.. im using it now)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lordrainkm:
Google now well fc every time you ask it "what song is this?". It happens on my stock rooted deodex ROM and my wife's stock unrooted ROM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rydah:
Guys most if these issues are caused by the deodexed version.

For one, my stock HTC keyboard is just fine. The Mic icon is also there.

I don't have any issues with the proximity sensor either. When I pull the phone away from my head, the screen comes on just fine.

One issue I am noticing is WiFi seems weak now, but I removed my ssid, then readded it, and all is good.

Sent From My HTC Evo 4G LTE, On The Now Network From Sprint!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
Agreed, keyboard and wifi are fine for me as well. But I'm 100% stock and the proximity sensor isn't working how it used to, that's the only issue I'm having.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rubyknight:
I'm on stock unrooted s-on. I ruued to get a fresh bug free start. The biggest bug for me is data speeds and bandwidth. On the stock ruu, data speeds were great. I downloaded the Netflix app and a couple others while browsing the internet and then watched a movie when they all downloaded.

On the new OTA I can't do anything data related while downloading apps... It glitches, gives me error messages, etc. Running multiple data using apps just is not user friendly. As well, Netflix barely, if at all, plays. Hulu Plus is hopeless unless on WiFi. Definitely was a downgrade from ICS for data users.

Tbh, these are the same issues I had with cm10 and other jellybean roms so maybe it's a core 4.1 issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
[Bug] P-Sensor isn't working correctly. Turns off Screen when call is connected have to hit power button to get screen to come on. Also a faint red light shows up where the Sensor is located and I have to restart the phone to get it to turn off. I have ran #*#*3424*#*# test and the P-sensor is working correctly. I am 100% completely stock and have done a Factory Reset and wiped the Cache partition since installing the Jelly Bean Update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkt97401:
After a reboot, my keyboard is switched from SwiftKey 3 back to the HTC IME, if I remove the HTC IME, it will default to voice input.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onefasttreopro:
- navigation/maps crashing after first/second verbal direction given, with blue route line thing disappearing, followed by Google play crashing (don't know if its related) have tried the ##gpsclrx# code and waiting to use navigation to test

- proximity sensor acting funny once call connected (i think it's fixed once I removed my screen protector, now acting normal in light AND dark lighting

- "it's" is not in dictionary as you type
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] o0adam0o:
Same Navigation issues.

I tried the ##gpsclrx# and it didnt work :/ Gonna try WAZE GPS for now untill i can fix..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] conquereddroiduser:
I am experiencing the same behavior in maps/navigation, and have had no luck with any of attempts to fix it. I'm stock, unrooted, and did a factory reset right after the JB update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] o0adam0o:
Even after a factory reset? :( Now im really worried. :S I guess the bright side is i dont have to do a hard reset.

Did you try the ##4772579# solution?

Well im gonna try this solution i found on Sprint forums:

"I may have found a fix, I uninstalled google maps and then reinstalled updates to google maps. I did not open maps portion but only navigation. Also, I did not download any maps for offline use as well. I used the navigation last night for a 40 minute ride to my destination and then home and did not crash or freeze once. Also, if you are worrying about loosing bookmarked places, Google saves them so they will come back along with your recent history. Hopefully this will be a solution until Google/HTC come out with an update"

I did it but im stuck at home right now so cant really test Navigation. Let me know if it works for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ak074:
from what i can tell, this happens on some rooted devices. this is the same as mine, although mine actually is a test device. but i can confirm this also on a friend's phone as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shunned:
I would like to know about the foxfi also.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
I will update most bugs on list tomorrow, but can you explain the deodexed comment? Odex/Deodex has to do with caching and usually this only affects boot-up time of device on first start. How does caching of dalvik have anything to do with this issues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
I know at least me and one other person can't get mhl-hdmi to work. Just ordered a new cable, maybe the adapter is broken (again).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
To give best info to someone IF this is going to be helpful at all is to limit your list to people running bone stock rooted/unlocked odex base....soff even but any variation should be ignored. Imho

Just my two cents on it.

Shoot me a PM btw OP when u get a chance might be able to work out something possibly...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Now for my list here's this... No bugs just more annoyances really.

Now as for JB experience... Complaints would be:

-HTC keyboard typing lag is horrid at times(BUG)

- wtf is the need to STICK the battery saver in the notification dropdown even when NOT on?....if they just used the freaking QUICK SETTINGS tab on the pulldown they could put it there and all would be fine! How again this is left out is beyond me...

- LOVE how they folded and went with some JB theming in sense....TO BAD they forgot to change the color on the 1980s battery icon in the status bar! Wtf all this blue and then that ancient color still used...HTC likely will never change this lol

-plugging into your computer is insane now! I do not need 3 fixed notifications when I plug into any computer saying file share/sync, debugging, and the tethering one! There is no longer a "charge only" option when you plug in as that is now considered file sync so ur phone will sync with HTC sync on any computer... Totally not needed. Haven't looked too indepth on that one but I don't like seeing "file sync" displayed when I plug into a random computer to just charge...the one for hotspot should never ever show unless you have that enabled. Right now it shows no matter what. I guess the one that is the issue here is the file sync one as there is no charge only anymore and when u plug in it installs on your computer every time...supper annoying imho.

-gallery seems slow to show up every time from the time I click phone/photos to when it shows the albums/folders...

It is smoother and I do like it overall, just some big misses imho that hurt it. I like Google now to an extent as its cool to get a notification on how long it will take to get home from work taking X route...I just worry the battery sacrifice is not going to be worth it in the long run...

It is good to hear some positive stories about LTE though and ppl seeing better signal, and handoffs...least I've read a few saying that.

*sorry I didn't follow any format there. Copied that from elsewhere I had posted it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
Wow! How weird is that? It does this on mine, too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah the stock keyboard lag happens randomly at times when typing. You'll type like 4 letters and wait for it to catch up, then all will be fine for a bit. Happens across everything too, in tapatalk, messaging, browser... Its almost like there is a background task that kicks off at tines that causes it bc that said task is hogging resources...though I have looked zip into it thus far...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Add me to that list too. Google now Google search for "what song is this" and you get a FC of Google now. If you search that phrase plus another word its fine though like "yes what song is this" works fine.... Real odd, wonder if it does that in AOSP or CM as its likely a Google issue and not HTC... Note also these problems should be ones related to HTC and different from what's also show to be present in AOSP as that's not on HTC to fix...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gregfink:
Am I the only one who notices how SLOW JB is to charge? Im on the same charger I used with ICS, and even tried others. I was getting about 1% a min on ICS but it takes 3 hours to get 20% on JB. I must be one of the only ones this happened too or people would be flipping out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Well I tried a working mhl-hdmi cable and it's a no go. Worked great on ics. Anyone have any ideas on something I should try?

Really don't need a thousand people saying it works great on theirs. Good for you! Trying to find a possible solution and/or anyone else that has this issue.

I haven't tried the ##4772579# solution yet, but I will this afternoon when I get time to get my MSL. I did try uninstalling all the maps/nav updates and re installing. Unfortunately no dice, as my navigation didn't even make it the 5 minute trip from home-> work without crashing.

[BUG] MMS quality (particularly screenshots) is poor

[BUG] Speakerphone during a call is horrible volume even at max

No, it doesn't work at all. My tv recognizes that something is plugged in but it just says no signal. It worked flawlessly on ics base.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iamkoza:
Thanks for this thread, really hope the black screen during phone calls bug is addressed.

LTE connectivity is better...but still having to do airplane mode dance.... would be nice if they could add more options to allow the user to force 4G connection (other than having to get your msl and do all that stuff, looking for a menu option here).

Dead stock here and I can crop. Your finger has to exactly touch the line or it will just shift the box.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mystic5523:
I've noticed that I have 2 problems with the Prox-sensor. Sometimes it turns the screen off every 10 seconds regardless of if its to my face or not, other times it doesn't turn off the screen at all. I made 10 or 11 calls in a row, and got a pretty even 50/50 split as to which way it wouldn't work.

I've also had issues with the Navigation/maps crashing. I couldn't go 5 minutes without it dropping.

Also, I've noticed that the stock Internet app doesn't show up in the Recent Apps list, and I can't set Dolphin up as my default. I tell it to set it but as soon as I close Dolphin it resets the defaults.

I use Watchdog to keep track of my processes, and ever since I loaded the odexed stock rooted ROM, I keep getting alerts for "Android media process" whenever I use certain apps to view pictures. It persists for some time before going away.

This morning, after my phone's alarm went off, I had no less than 6 warnings from Watchdog that certain processes were consuming some serious resources. I was not in the right state of mind so I cleared the warnings before thinking to get a screenshot, but I'll be sure to next time it happens.
