[EVO 4G General] jasonziter:
I bothered HTC,...here is their reply.

My questions were:

1. Why is the device capped at 30 fps

2. Why the delay on Android 2.2

3. Why is my Wi-Fi reception so poor

Dear Jason M Ziter,

Dear Jason, Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support. My name is Amy; I will be assisting you with any questions you may have about your HTC Evo. I understand your concern for your HTC Evo. On the matter of the following: 1. The device has been locked at 30 FPS due to enhance overall performance in the device. By lowering the FPS of the device the CPU works less. This increases the battery life of the device 2. If your phone was launched this year, we will most likely offer an upgrade for it to the Froyo version. We will announce a full list of phones and dates once we are closer to launching the upgrades. 3. the percentage is just a mere estimate; it does not portray the exact amount of your connection. · Wi-Fi has an "Ad-Hoc" mode that allows for computers to communicate with each other directly; Windows Mobile devices mostly commonly use Ad-Hoc mode for communicating to a wireless adapter. Alternately, "Infrastructure" mode requires that all computers connect to the network through an AP. · Some wireless network configurations use Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering so only specific known hardware units are allowed to communicate with each other via Wi-Fi. · Since Wi-Fi signals go over the air, data packet frame collisions can occur but collision avoidance methods called Request to Send (RTS) and Clear To Send (CTS) reduce this problem most of the time. Range, speed and power For 802.11b · Outdoor range of up to 92 meters (300 feet) for most enhanced implementations of 802.11b, considerably less range indoors depending on the number of walls, obstructions and composition of objects in the path of the Wi-Fi signals. · Maximum data rate of 11 Megabytes per second, typically half that performance in practice. 802.11b tries to maintain its data speed even out to it range limit. · 802.11b must remain in an active state more often and uses more power per average data packet, so it tends to drain device batteries two or three times faster than 802.11g. For 802.11g · Outdoor range of up to 92 meters (300 feet), considerably less range indoors depending on the number of walls, obstructions and composition of objects in the path of the Wi-Fi signals. · Maximum data rate of 54 Megabytes per second, typically half that performance in practice. Data rates step down as range increases, reducing to 802.11b data rates after about 30 meters (98 feet). For 802.11n · Some "Pre-N" routers came out early to market. These often need firmware upgrades to be maximally compatible. · Some manufacturers offer additional proprietary wireless technology to extend the range of transmission. This may be a compatibility barrier in some cases. You may have to adjust router settings to a legacy mode that does not use special non-standard range boosting. · Outdoor range up to 50 meters (165 feet). For many 802.11n devices, multiple antenna and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology improves indoor performance by handling multi-path signals better than 802.11g and 802.11b. · Maximum data rate of 540 Megabytes per second, typically half that performance in practice. 4. on the screen separation, we are aware of the issue, we will provide our customers with more information when we have completed our investigation. If you have any further questions you may contact us at HTC.com/us/support, or call HTC at 866-449-8358. Thank you and have a great day.

So.....there is your bloated response.

P.S. I called Sprint 10 minutes ago and asked the rep a couple of questions, among the was.

When can we expect Android 2.2

His....SPEEDY response was, "We are shooting for 1-2 weeks from today. Most likely next week but worse case scenario in two weeks."
