well I am receiving sms messages showing a time of 2-3 hours later than actual time received
[EVO 4G General] regulator207:
I have this issue too. It only occurs when I am roaming though. My incoming timestamps are displaying as being 5 hours in the future. gah. This same problem occurred with my touch pro 2 and thought it was a bug. guess not. must be an issue with the carrier I am on when i am roaming.

any way to fix this?
[EVO 4G General] chim4ira312:
yeah i have the same problem...i was just gonna post a thread about it.

i sometimes text with my girl nonstop for like 20 minutes, conversations get ridiculously hard to read. i send a text and her response is in the middle between to texts i sent a minute ago....

i used to flash sense roms on the g1 and always went back to a regular vanilla rom cause of this problem. now im stuck with this problem and every rom i go to has the same issue...sucks.

sigh, 30fps cap which a google employee said is not a software problem, fear of the glass of my screen raising above the bezel, now this? 720p video is very "720p" either. lotta gripes about the phone..sprint and htc f'ed up... it is a new product tho so i guess its supposed to come with a fair share of problems..

Is there a way to disable volume control on windows mobile 6.5 while phone is locked?
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
Once again the folks at the Forbidden Fruit company are a step ahead. I love my phone but with a company like HTC who is growing at such a fast pace, they should have stepped up and provided these features before the monopolized company did.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not *****ing about my Incredible because it is a fantastic phone but the war is waged and as always Apple is ahead of the game. (And all my stupid iPhone friends are gloating.. :cool:)

Your thoughts?
[Droid Incredible General] giantcrazy:
This would be the same Apple that just introduced multi-tasking and folders?

Oh yeah, they're way ahead of the game, if you're the kind of person to get duped into donating money to something called a 'Genius Bar' for that technology that's so intuitive you never need any help with it.
[Droid Incredible General] Cole119:
We will probably get 720p recording via a hack soon since the N1 just got it.
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
Point taken, I realize that HTC has technology that came out before Apple. Maybe its just a marketing thing and they already have these things for the next Gen but I figured it would be a hell of a smashing of Apple if those simple things were available, especially with how powerful this phone already is..
[Droid Incredible General] giantcrazy:
There's no maybe about it - 720p recording is limited by software, not HTC, and has already been done with the N1, likely a part of Froyo for the DI.

And video conferencing? Well, Apple can make it sound like it's leading the way there all they want. HTC and Android did it before the 4g with the Evo, and there have been other videoconferencing phones before that as well (Nokia stands out in my mind).

And would someone care to explain to me why videoconferencing only over WiFi is such a big deal? That's not a minor limitation - if they wanted to do something useful/groundbreaking, it'd be possible to videoconference over 3/4G. Of course, if that were the case, what's left of the AT&T network would collapse in the first day.
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
even voice over wifi takes up too much bandwidth, the man himself had to tell everybody to get off the wifi so his "revolutionary" POS can make a video call, I laughed when I read the specs and laughed even harder when his video calling didn't work, and the video calling is limited to IOS 4 users only, so no video calling g-ma like he wants because g-ma would need an iphone with IOS 4 on it but she is smart enough not to get an apple product. (well mine is anyway) even unrooted my DI is better than that thing.
[Droid Incredible General] Capt.D:
I had a Motorola Razor x from europe that had a front camera back in 04 or 05. It did me no good when I came back to the states because no carriers supported video conferencing so it is not a new technology like they try to make it out to be....
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
LOLz. iPone4=fail.

Apple is behind the curve, and they know it. Anyone who has iPone envy better get a brain first.
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
To the OP, there will always be some things that one phone has that another doesn't, you just have to pick your poison. I could easily be using an EVO right now (I actually switched from Sprint to Verizon and I have 4G coverage in my area), but I decided I wanted to go with the Incredible. Something new will always be coming out that has features you wish you had on your phone (it doesn't help that iPhone fanboys will taunt you mercilessly on the web if they find out you don't have one and they do; it's even worse in real life).

Also when I say "fanboys", first it could apply to any sex and also I am not referring to the causal or even hardcore fans (fanboys are people that live for creating flamebait where it need not exist). I made enough money programming and then selling off several APIs for the iPhone OS 2.x/3.x (sorry I just think iOS looks weird) to pay back most of my student loans so sure I like the iPhone/iPod Touch (never got to work with an iPad); at the same time I would never have an iPhone as my primary mobile phone by choice.

Also I hadn't heard about the Incredible receiving an upgrade and/or hack for 720p recording, but I've always felt that it had that ability so that's nice to see.
[Droid Incredible General] jaewon223:
A little biased opinions here as well, including myself. In many regards the incredible is better but let's face some facts that the iPhone has done some groundbreaking stuff in terms of hardware and software. They have proof in units they have pushed.

In the end I would still rather have the Inc rooted or unrooted vs iPhone jail broken or not. I've tried both and hardware wise Inc wins even though iPhone screen is better in response. Os wise android wins again. Hands down.
[Droid Incredible General] JTCGiants56:
We incredible users have the exact same camera as the Evo 4g which is 720p supported.. so it has nothing to do with the hardware, but the software. It is inevitable that someone will make a hack and unlock the true potential of the incredible camera.
[Droid Incredible General] ufvj217:
lmao and the same apple that finally put a flash on the iPhone for the camera hahahah
[Droid Incredible General] donatom3:
It's not just the camera that is needed for this, the chipset also needs to support it. Of course the incredible chipset is the same as the Evo, so you're good there.
[Droid Incredible General] mejdam:
New retina technology is impressive but Samsung already has an answer to that, Super AMOLED. its only a matter of time before HTC starts purchasing those screens, just like it buys AMOLED and putting them on their phones :)
[Droid Incredible General] Jexy:
Take a step back. I'm still using a K850i from Sony Ericsson when I'm out of the USA that was made at least 4 maybe 5 years ago. It had video conferencing on it using a 3G network. That is the Europe/Asia boys for you. This phone was not sold in the USA by any of the locally known carriers. Check the specs. That long ago with a xenon flash and 5 meg camera. The USA is still playing catch up. I am still looking for the phone running on an Android platform, can work on All USA, Asia, and European networks GSM & CDMA with a high quality camera. Don't get me wrong but the K850i photos run rings around the Incredible. That said, the Incredible is still my favorite.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crown510:
Hi guys I'm new to this but so far I'm liking this new Rom i'm trying it kicks ass Alysious 2.1. I might try Pure in a few. My question to those who can assist me answering this question is, will rooting this phone have any affect with download/upload speed? I did a speedtest with speedtest app found in the market and I'm barely hitting a meg on my download and don't even let me get to the upload part lol. Is there a way updating the PRL (radio) this may somehow improve this? Has anyone one of you guys witness any speed difference with your phone (not hardware) but bandwidth wise? Any suggestions? please let me know. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
PRL is not a radio, though you could try different CDMA radios and see if one helps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonaZ33:
My capacitive touchscreen has been having a pretty odd issue. If I lay the phone on a bed or desk and try to use the touchscreen with only one finger, I get all sorts of weird input on the screen. Then, if I touch the phone casing while repeating the same motion with the same finger (anywhere on the side of the casing or rear panel) the touchscreen works flawlessly.

Right now, my device is sitting on my bed, if I unlock it and try to pull down the notification window shade with just one finger, it's impossible. If I touch the casing with another finger and then try to pull down the shade, it's flawless.

From my understanding, in a capacitive touchscreen, a layer of electrons (ions?) is passed over the screen and a sensor detects where the flow of electrons is interrupted by the electrical conductivity of the human body. It seems that my phone is having issues with the electrons not just flowing over the screen, but around the casing as well, causing issues.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mecha2142:
This appears to be a significant issues of owners of the HTC Incredible. You might get more useful information in that board, seeing as how they've been experiencing it for much longer than we have.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonaZ33:
Wow, the video that they have on the Incredible forums of the phone on the Styrofoam is exactly the same issue I am seeing on my device.

I would link it, but apparently new users aren't allowed links. Ugh, this is a real bummer. Especially since that guy had 2 replacements sent to him, both with the same issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Believer:
I too am experiencing this. I want you to try something a little different. Pull the kickstand out and stand it up on the bed. Then put your finger on the kickstand and you should be able to pull the notification bar down all the way to the bottom and let it lock with your other hand while still keeping the finger on the kickstand. Then take that finger off of the kickstand then slowly bring the notification menu bar back towards the top with your finger. Tell me your results. And i'll let you know if we had the same.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mecha2142:
It appears that HTC has got some serious quality control to enforce on their recent devices. At this point, releasing a flagship phone with these issues is nothing short of unacceptable. I'm as big of an HTC fanboy as they come, but I'm really considering switching loyalties to Motorola is this crap continues. It's bad enough being capped at 30fps on the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonaZ33:
If I put my finger on the kickstand I can pull down the notification bar completely, without issue. When I let go and pull the bar up, it works, but looks like it is trailing behind where my finger is by about a half inch, until I get roughly 3/4 of the way up to the top then it passes my finger like i'm not touching the screen anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mecha2142:
That might be the touch input lag we're experiencing as well. This may be tied to the 30fps graphic limit on the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonaZ33:
The 30 fps limit is disconcerting, but that seems like it is something that could be fixed through firmware, however I doubt this issue is fixable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Believer:
Yeah, that's the exact same response I received from it; except when going back up, i reached the 1/2 way point on the screen and the notification bar shot up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonaZ33:
Well this is slightly depressing. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mecha2142:
Ugh, my curiosity got the best of me, and the results aren't pretty.

When I lie my Evo down on a flat surface, the notification bar becomes absolutely impossible to pull down unless another finger touches any part of the phone. A test on the multitouch visualizer app shows that the screen completely stops recognizing my finger when y1 is equal to 40. This is essentially the entire height of the notification bar.

This isn't a deal breaker in any way, but what the ****, HTC? Is this how you treat your customers?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonaZ33:
On mine, my screen becomes effected as early as y=500, then gets really bad around y=250, then is completely unresponsive after y=100.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
wow, that blows, mine does the bad response -40 thing. holy ****, it's really just one thing after another with these phones...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetzlegend:
I guess there is no such thing as a perfect phone no matter how much money, research, and time is invested into it.

I too have this issue, I have noticed occasionally its hard to pull out the notification bar, but when I pick up the phone and pull bar with other hand it works perfect.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth Duane:
For the heck of it I tested my Evo on every surface i could my hands on from glass, to thick carpet, bed sheets, etc, etc. Mine doesn't seem to have this issue, so it's definitely not every phone. If it's a big issue for you, you may want to see about getting it replaced.

I'm able to replicate the problems everyone else is having with my own Evo... but only when it's removed from the skin case I bought with it (the black rubber/gel like material - silicone?).

For those of you with the problem, do you have your Evo in any sort of case? If not, it might be a simple workaround. Not that it really makes up for the issue in the first place, but as long as it's working, it's fine with me.

But yea he was like wtf... didn't even know what to say.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobFromAccounting:
That just might explain why I can't pull down the notification bar one handed with my Evo sitting on a table somewhere (without a case, with a screen protector).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandojumpoff:
does anyone have the car dock? and if so, does the same thing happen? that's the only time i'd ever think about using the phone without actually holding it with the rest of my hand.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TREYisRAD:
Thats what I was thinking, someone test out a carmount. (are any released yet?) I'm OCD about issues like these and I'm trying to tell myself that it doesn't matter. I've been using my phone 24/7 for the past week and I never noticed any touch-input issue until I saw this thread and tried it out.

It is a major issue and should be fixed, but how many people actually use their phone like this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YafaKlan:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaytonaZ33:
Well your pants generally aren't conductive enough to activate the device's screen, so I don't think this is by design. I've had a Moto Droid/iPhone 3GS and never had an issue using the touchscreen like this.

For some that mentioned the case, I have a Platinum series hard plastic shell for mine and it makes no difference.

ps. A lot of Incredible owners with this same issue had problems activating the screen in the car mount, so I am not too optimistic.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
If you are testing this make sure you aren't plugged in. If you p plug the device in it will work normally if its not plugged in then you start to see it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awakener:
Mine has the issue. Not happy about it. I first noticed it the other day. And I have the seidio case. and A screen protector.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaypeezee:
Just verified I have the same issue.

For those that "believe" they are not encountering the problem - Try multiple surfaces.

Here are my specs/testing;

Using a Platinum Case (Seidio) w/ back and front Invisible Shield, I can place the phone on the passenger seat of my car (cloth) and the problem occurs.

If I place it on my Panasonic Toughbook (all metal housing) no problem present.

I did this multiple times on different surfaces and depending on the surface, OR if I was touching the surface, the problem would show. In all fairness, I never noticed the problem prior to this thread however now I am constantly testing with more and more negative results :(

EDIT:

Just got off the phone with HTC, although the rep I spoke to was extremely nice and professional, she was unaware of the "issues" I had described to her. She did assure me that HTC actively monitors these forums and any issues/problems people encounter gets sent up to a development team.

Who knows if this will ever be fixed, but in conjunction with the 30fps cap, and Exchange reboots, im highly considering returning both my EVOs
