As per AndroidGuys.com

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/07/07/official-update-htc-evo-4g-30-fps-issue/

We were advised that the frame rate cap is hardware related, although the cap itself is imposed by the EVO's software. The reason for the limitation is directly related to the EVO's HDMI port, which, we were told, requires a sizable portion of the Snapdragon processor's output in order to operate. Subsequently, a limit needs to be placed on the amount of the processor's output that is allocated to the display.

So my response is put a toggle switch widget to turn HDMI off/on.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
seems like a lazy way of developing the phone; what idiot thought it was an awesome idea to impose the cap for a feature that won't be used on a daily basis (i've yet to use the feature and i had the phone for about a month); i doubt i'll ever use the hdmi port and knowing the cap is placed on it for that feature is just asinine
[EVO 4G General] KwestJones:
why do you even need a toggle switch? When the hdmi port is detected to be connected, then reduce the FPS to the screen. This is a SMART phone isn't it?
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
That's good news!
[EVO 4G General] MadHatter01:
An auto switch would be best, but that would be more work. A quick way would be a toggle switch for now and long term an auto detect switch.
[EVO 4G General] sablesurfer:
So now, those that have managed to put in the fix for the cap, can they test HDMI to see if it crashes the phone? (Assuming it must be catastrophic to have high frame rate and HDMI or else this is just idiotic.)

I also never see myself using HDMI out from the phone. I have it on my camera too and NEVER use it. Who is actually going to scale a movie to phone, then try to run on a big screen TV?
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
I just read this a few minutes ago. I really hope HTC decides to update with a toggle switch or an auto switch for this. I'm going to root either way but HTC fix will just make things smoother and neater for the devs.
[EVO 4G General] AssassinsLament:
Now if they're too lazy to fix it, we don't mind fixing it, but just tell us secretly where to look in the source :) We get uncapped, HTC saves face.
[EVO 4G General] Young_e:
correct me if im wrong but didn't we know this already???:confused:
[EVO 4G General] MadHatter01:
It was not official from Htc. Up until now all we had was a couple of tech support reps with different answers.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
My guess is the droidx has this auto toggle functionality already built into their phone for frame cap during hdmi output since they can go up to 60fps otherwise.

I wonder if the system dump of the droidx might hold something valuable for our issue, or if it would be in the kernel (which we would have to wait for droidx kernel source and I'm sure the devs will figure it out before then).
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
lol i dont even own HD TV,so the hell with HDMI,even tho its nice to have it BUT i prefer HTC to revert the capp lock please.we use our phone more than we use our HDMI out.:D
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
That is absolutely assinine. The snapdragon can support HDMI and the phone screen both at 60 fps. At the same time. The drivers just need to be optimized.
[EVO 4G General] cloud858rk:
The Droid X uses a different CPU (Cortex-A8) and GPU (Power VR); the article somewhat implies that it may be Snapdragon specific.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mudkip:
been looking and not seen much. when i try and download the recovery i just get a error and nothing happens. any idea whats going on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Hmm, are you fully rooted with nand unlocked and all that good stuff?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mudkip:

I must be a complete noob. But i've been trying to figure out how to use this program, but i don't know how to turn it on? Not listed under widget or apps or... how in the world do i try this out??!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac:
You won't want to use it unless you are rooted and remove HTC Sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neotelos_com:
Not exactly...the new update blocks you from using other launchers.

If you don't have the update it'll work without root and you don't need to remove sense.

On the other hand, if you have the update you will need to root your phone first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelvibe:
That is because it is not technically an app, at least not the type that you are accustomed to using. Do this to get it to work.

1. Go to Settings ---> Applications ---> Manage Applications

2. After the list loads scroll down to HTC Sense, tap "Clear Defaults" and "Force Stop"

Touch the home button and it should give you an option on which launcher you would like to load.

Hope this helps!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davwf26:
Already rooted and running fresh. And apparently this came with the most recent fresh update, but had no idea out to try it out! So thanks! This is exactly what i needed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
disabling sense and using the stock launcher was the only way to get my computer to see my phone. i tried launcher pro but my comp will not see my phone now, very very frustrating.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
Really?

I've been in root land so I haven't used it and I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't BLOCK other launchers, I think it just doesn't include the 2.1 AOSP launcher "Launcher 2."

As far as the system cares, your home screen is just an app like a browser or music app, it is just a matter of disabling which one is set as default. This can be done in the applications menu via the method described above, or you may find the application "Home Switcher" useful if you like to try out different home screen launchers?

I certainly could be wrong, but I would be surprised if they blocked the ability to turn off sense as the default.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
You do not need to be rooted to use either ADW.Launcher nor LauncherPro.

I highly doubt the launcher is causing your computer to not see the device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posguy99:
Why? What does rooting, or removing Sense, have to do with using an alternative launcher? Take your time, be specific.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posguy99:
No, the new OTA removes the stock Launcher2. It doesn't block anything.

Wrong. You can either use the Force Close trick to get Sense to close, or you can just grab Home Switcher from the Market and use that to close Sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
I doubt it either, but wit the stock launcher as default my comp saw my phone n that was the only way, wouldnt work wit sense. Wit the new update, they removed the launcher so i tried launcher pro as default n it didnt work. But the weird thing is that my computer at work sees my phone wit no problem, so it must be something within my comp that i cant seem to figure out. n my comp is fully updated n drivers are all up to date so its weird.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
I just loaded launcher pro last night. Took me a while to figure it out too as it is NOT in the apps and there are NO instructions.

Is it just me...or is there some conspiracy in Android land to NEVER HAVE ANY INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!

grrrr

Anyway...somehow one time I tapped the home button on phone and it popped up with a window that asked which one I wanted to use. No idea how I got it, but there it was. It had stock android, launcher, and sense listed. (I am still pre-ota). I have played around with all three.

However...honestly...I found launcher to be a complete slow tortoise! Seriously. Everyone hatin on Sense and Launcher was the slowest thing I have ever seen. And I hadn't even added any apps to it. Not sure I like it at all.

Only cool bit is the home screen rotation...which is what I was looking for. I should go leave comments on this....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobFromAccounting:
LauncherPro is a speed demon and is great to use (been doing so since I found out about it).

I have no idea why it would be slow for you at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorpe24:
Cuz he has sense still running I would think
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewie63:
Be sure to clean slate your HTC Sense Launcher. I am running EVOlution V9 now, so can't remember exactly where the option is; but it's there somewhere. I installed Launcher Pro on my Stock ROM yesterday before rooting and loved it. Everything worked great once I deleted everything off of my HTC Sense Launcher and set Launcher Pro to default. Running it on Froyo now as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
You think? I heard so many great things about it, but it is nasty slow on my machine. So if I choose it from that pop up window...then you think sense is still trying to run but with that launcher??

So...how is this done? You have to actually get rid of sense or can you turn it off without root?

(ps...i do plan to root, but not until i make a decision in my 30 day period...yes, i have commitment issues!)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
Open Sense again. I think if you hit menu, something like "Scenes" or similar will appear. Select that and select "Clean Slate." That should clear your Sense homescreen.

Then try Launcher Pro again.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] snemies:
Hey folks,

I want to buy a new "blackberry style" Smartphone and I don't know, which one to take. I need a stable Internet connection because I need to receive my Emails on the mobile every day. I don't need "multimedia function", eg. a good camera or a movie player. Just stable basics functions like telephone, SMS, Internet (typical office things).

I will write a few emails a day thats because I want to buy a phone with a hard qwertz keyboard and I think, writing feels better on an non-slide but hard implemented keyboard.

Can you give me some opinions about the HTC Snap or the Samsung OmniaPRO 7330? Which device is better in your opinion and why? Are there other (cheap :)) possibilities for me?

Thank you in advance!

I have a HTC Snap and i can say is perfect for what you want. I don't know what is autonomy for Omnia,appears to be a mystery .But the Snap battery keeps four days in my case,although very often use the internet connection for browsing, instant messaging and email, and in my opinion Snap looks much better than the Omnia. Is very fast and stable , including GPS.Good luck!

What's up everyone! I am new on here 1st ever thread. I have had my Pre since day 1 and have been following HTC SuperSonic since it was announce to now the EVO. I wanted a black one but sold out then I found out a white one was coming so I was the first to pre order that day at Best Buy. I haven't had a Android phone since the G1 came out and that was only 2 weeks since I was just testing out.

I'm gonna miss WebOS in specific but ready to learn and search this new phone, I already have a folder at home called EVO for stuff I want to put on the phone, wallpapers etc and orderd a SGP Full Body Ultra Crystal Protection. Also purchased a Class 6 MicroSD 16GB

Weirdest thing about me... I am typing this on My Mac at work, I have supported the iPhone since it's release in 2007, iPod Touch, and iPad! LOLOL, and Now FaceTime

I wanted to theme my evo mario style but I like the htc sense UI. Is there any way to change the home screen icons or the app icons?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sprockethead:
Download the Mario icons you want to use. Either use an icon pack from the market by searching "icon pack" or use google to find others.

1. Search for Folder Organizer in the Market.

2. Buy it or download the free version.

3. Open Folder Organizer.

4. Click the Apps tab.

5. Find the app whose icon you want to change. Click on it. A menu pops up.

6. Scroll to the right of the menu that pops up. One of the buttons is "icon."

7. Click the "icon" button.

8. Choose "gallery" or "icon pack" or whatever choice is appropriate.

9. Select the new icon.

10. Exit Folder Organizer.

1. Go to the home screen. Long press a blank spot to bring up the widget menu.

2. Choose "Widget."

3. Don't actually choose a widget. Instead, choose "Folder Organizer ITEM."

4. Click "Apps" when prompted.

5. Check the box for whether or not you want a caption below the icon.

6. Click the app that you changed the icon for earlier.

7. The app is added to the desktop.

Thanks it worked great!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakerboy777:
Sorry if this has already been answered before, but now that kernal source has been released, it should theoretically be possible to have a Nexus One ROM port with this stuff working, right? I don't mean to underestimate the difficulty of this, it just sounded to me like something the devs here would be capable of doing very quickly (well, maybe not a quality overclock, but the cameras at least). Is this something that there is a proof of concept out for on? Is it a more long term project without any real ETA?

No disrespect to the awesome devs here! I just kind of thought more than just one ROM (baked snacks) would have updates following shortly after source release.

It's coming, I expect that is why we haven't seen many updates to the bigger roms lately.

Sounds like we should have one from cyanogen soon too, which would be quite nice.

Hi I am finding that my hotmail emails are not coming through when they should it is set up to check every 15 minutes but can take several hours to get emails. They are in my hotmail account and doing a manual refresh doesn't help. This is with wifi or good 3g. Gmail works instantly and everything else works fine internet/widgets etc.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Anyone able to get 4G consistently in the Boston area? I was down on Mass Ave. in Cambridge and had it working momentarily, anyone know good spots to go to get a steady 4G connection?
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
I had good 4g constant at my workplace in Medford, MA. The thing about 4G is that it has a very short 10 sec idle sleep setting. So pretty much if you are not downloading or using the connection it will disconnect. Connect back to 3G and then it scans and reconnects back to 4G.
[EVO 4G General] slapbet:
I also saw it briefly connect last night, but signal strength was low in Central Square.
[EVO 4G General] xx1479:
I HAD full 4G signal in Downtown Crossing but have since lost it. Unable to connect. Scanning, to Connecting to Sprint, to Obtaining IP Address, to Disconnecting and then starting the same process all over again. I can def. say that this started happening after flashing a custom ROM (DC 3.2.3) in addition to Radio/Wimax. Since then I have not been able to get it back. I saw one other member mention the same thing. Is anybody still seeing 4G signal anywhere in Boston Metro area?
[EVO 4G General] asicguy:
Question:

For kicks, in methuen, MA over the weekend, I turned on 4G.

I kept getting a cycle (not exact wording):

Scanning

Found 4G connecting to Sprint

then back to scanning

Is there actually 4G available this far from Boston?

I am in Lowell, MA now and I just get a constant: Scanning...
[EVO 4G General] xx1479:
I know for sure 4G was up and running in Boston a couple weeks ago. I was using 4G constantly. I work in Downtown Crossing and was getting sick connection on 4G. But it seems as though it's gone now. At first I thought it was because I had rooted my EVO and applied a custom ROM but now I'm beginning to think something is up with the 4G as I am seeing the same thing with the Scanning, Connecting to Sprint, Obtaining IP Address, Disconnecting and then back to Scanning. I don't know how far the 4G signal reaches.
[EVO 4G General] AliLaPointe:
I get pretty consistent 4G in the Allston/Brighton area right on Harvard ave.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I am unable to connect in South Boston. It was working fine before, now it will get stuck at obtaining ip address then just disconnect. I think this has to do with the rollout since they're still testing it.

I get a very spotty connection in southie too. some days are better than others
[EVO 4G General] JoshHuman:
I am also having the same issue in Downtown Crossing, been happening for a week now. It's not a rooting issue as I've been rooted since I bought the phone. It seems to be happening in Providence as well.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Not sure if this is related, but I am now able to connect to 4G after flashing the *FINAL* Official 2.2 rooted update. Not only that, even with the same radio, I am now getting AWESOME consistent download speeds, averaging 6mbps.

Well 4G hasn't even launched officially here yet and they're still optimizing the network even in officially launched markets. Some people are reporting 10+mbps download speeds. It'll only get better.

Hello all,

Just wanted to note that I'm getting 4g both in south Lowell near exit 37 off of Rt. 495 and stronger signal in Cambridge near central sq. I just used speakeasy for a speed test and download was just over 5 Mb. That was with one bar of signal strengh shown on the phone.

What rom are you using?
[EVO 4G General] crystalline914:
Today in Peabody I was getting 4g coverage. Outside the north shore mall where I work I had 4 bars of 4g.

I ran speedtest.net app 2x

1st 9926/981

2n 10032/1043 :eek:

All I can say is WOW. I got back to Beverly where I live and got nothing but scanning.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Wow, With those speeds, there must be a WiMAX antenna on the roof of the mall.
[EVO 4G General] cantar74:
4G at Boston Common

Just for kicks I decided to turn on 4G and I got a faint one bar signal. The signal was intermittent at best, constantly dropping off and then picking back up, but even with one bar the speed was quite impressive, much faster than 3G.

For all those wondering, 4G hasn't officially gone live in Boston as yet. It is still a work in progress so as a result the signal will be hit or miss. There is no official date for a live release as the 4G infrastructure is still being put into place in the Boston area.
[EVO 4G General] rjmjr69:
Ok so to do a test I was able to use my uncles unrooted evo and my rooted evo that has the latest radio and wimax and damage.3.2.2 on it his has froyo. His was able to connect for very short periods but wouldn't stay connected. Mine was able to see the network but would not actually connect. I then changed my single allowance to a lower tolerance and still was not able to get a connection.

So I went to the wimax settings under ##data# and the only difference was the time out is set to 120 on his mine was at 300 I changed it still same results.

So from this I concluded the newest rom definitely has something to do with the 4g connection.

I have 2 other evos here for a total of 4 3 rooted one not all 3 suffer scanning no connection the rooted connects but not for very long.

Must be a Southie thing. I'm going to go into town tomorrow where its been reported to be very strong connections and see what happens then.
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
You should try flashing a different rom. Such as a fresh 3.1 or the new Avalaunch if you are using the latest wimax radios. I believe the regular radios will work on any rom base, but wimax radios will only work if you are using a rom thats has the same base. If you want to stick with damage I suggest you flash back to the previous wimax radio.

Here's a copy and paste from flipz site on the radio

Updated Wimax.img for (version 26023_r01) for Evo 4g running Sprint OTA 3.26.651.3(Android 2.2)

This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Fresh Evo 3.0 (release coming) but will work on every 3.26.651.3 based rom

Do not flash this unless you are running a 3.26.651.3 rom —

Im currently using Fresh 3.1 and the latest wimax radio and I'm connecting fine just got 10198 down and 1093 at my work place.
[EVO 4G General] rjmjr69:
Makes sense to me ill try that was part of my plans
[EVO 4G General] neccoloup:
I live on Newbury St and 4g would pop on and off when I first got my phone. Tested it today and I get a fading in and out 1 bar with the settings app saying "fair" for signal. While it was connected a did a test and got a 3944kbps download. Not bad at all but the constant switching of on and off doesn't make it really useable/good for battery. Good to see that they are infact in the process of officially lighting it up though.
