[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kshawn:
Hey all, I'm sure many of the senior members or even the members that actually know better, are tired of answering the same questions in multiple threads repeatedly. I know some of you just can't be assed to search because you're lazy or just want the direct answer right away, but it causes multiple threads on the same topic if there is one already in existence. Well don't worry new comers, and lazy folk alike. I shall go out of my way to create a massive frequent and not so frequently asked Q&A in an attempt to declutter some of the sections.

Below are some of the normally asked topics that threads are often created about and some other answers I decided to toss out there for good measure whether it has been asked or not.

Q: Can we get an app ported from the iPhone to our Evo?
