oh sweet, they make Nova too! I played this out when I was tinkering with an iPad in best buy. Think Halo style first person shooter. Even has multiplayer!!

okay i feel like a dumb. i cant figure out how to change the app shortcuts along the rosie on ADW launcher. i swear ive gone through every menu

anyone have advice on widget resizing?
reb,

nm figured it out. ADW Settings->UI Settings->Add Secondary Action Buttons.

I will miss Friendstream from Sense but thats probably it. The 'auto-stretch widgets so they don't overlap' option in ADW Launcher tends to chop the widgets up and they don't look pretty.

Thanks. I can see the folders now, but it only shows the default folders not my custom ones. Back to K9 I guess.

Also can't get Facebook to give me notifications, which us kinda annoying. I've enabled them in the app but nothing.

Why are you glad about the newer build?

I was disappointed by this article about the new screens. Have you noticed it at all?

It'd be nice if an update could fix it...


As an owner of both I think that's way overblown. Right now the only possible way around the 30 FPS cap is with build 3 and I doubt we see am OTA for that. I'll take that and a couple of other build 3 advantages which I can't remember at the moment for when I decide to root again.

Any idea when that will be released? Ballpark? My wife was going to get the EVO4, but prefers the QWERTY keyboard. Her contract is up July 1 and is anxious to get rid of her POS phone.

Upcoming months was in the press prelease.

I have heard a rumor of July 24th. But summer for sure.

word on the street was that it would "enhance" WiFi, so there's a chance it could enable the EVO's 802.11n support


That'd be nice. Also thanks for the tip on the Pure Calendar widget. Well worth the ~$2 in my opinion.

one thing i noticed... i had to completely reset all my "beautiful widgets" and some others.

i'm also getting access to wifi from one of the companies in my building.

Started my phone today and it was pretty much idle from 7 to 845. Over the past hour I have been procrastinating and reading one website. My battery has dropped 28% since I opened up my browser. I have done all of the battery tips. This is ridiculous.

Same thing here MW..."problem loading gadget" for every icon on my homepage, including all of my "more icon widgets"...It's gonna take me forever to set that back up.

I've already noticed that my wifi indicator is consistently at 2 or 3 "lines" now. Before it was only 1 line, even when I was sitting right next to my router.
old ag 2003

Still not finding my n network though.
TefIon Don
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'll have to check this when I get home, when I'd be 15 feet from my router it would drop down to 0 bars/1 bar. It would only be at 2-3 when I was at least 5 feet from the router.

Good to hear, I'll be getting the third build whenever the online Sprint store finally has more in stock. Your Best Buy still had them? I wonder if it's the same stock they had a couple weeks ago or they've gotten in more recently...

Several of my widgets are screwed up as well. Hopefully this helps my battery which is massively disappointing so far.
DAM
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Any clue on how to force the update? Phone says no update available.

MW03
How long do you want to ignore this user?
not sure how much is due to the new update, but I've been off the charger since 8am, and I've got 77% battery left. Juice plotter is telling me i've got another 11+ hours until dead.

And this is with downloading the new update and installing the same.
MW03
How long do you want to ignore this user?
make sure you are checking the HTC update, DAM. Mine listed no update available, but I clicked the "check now" box and it revealed the update.

Make sure you save your "scene" before you start, though.
TefIon Don
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Not sure what the battery problem is for you, I've been using my phone all morning on 4G and I'm at 75%.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Didn't fix the gsm/cdma problem
TefIon Don
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Make sure you go in and redo the gsm/cdma fix, the update might have reset it. Not sure but this may be causing your battery problems after the update.
howdydamnit04
How long do you want to ignore this user?
My usage has been pretty light and I'm at 49% I started at 93% because of the trickle charge issue.

just got the update. ~10 min to download and install.

tripps, you really should figure out and post what changes you made to prolong battery life. Of everyone here you seem to have done the best job of it.
TefIon Don
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I need to find someone with a brand new EVO so that i can compare every single setting and find out with the culprit is for the bad battery loss. I did so many things that one day that i can't remember them all. I need to stop drinking so much.
CalAG

With the pending hurricane, i need to be able to tether on 3g service. What is the program for that and do i need to root this thing to get it running? I know it is somewhere on this forum but i dont have time with work a pregnant wife and the hurricane to find it.

Thanks for any responses...
reb,
How long do you want to ignore this user?
my ota took about 25 minutes driving on 290, was afraid for a few that I was in a boot loop, phew

evo can natively do wired tethering.

btw, radar now is a good weather app

old ag should compile tweaks into the op
old ag 2003
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Done. Don't have time right now to compile a list of all the tweaks but that should suffice (thanks to atmhockey as I basically just copied your post on this thread.
old ag 2003
How long do you want to ignore this user?
CalAg -

If you're wanting wireless tethering without paying the $30 extra a month to Sprint, you can use PDAnet. It's free for the first 30 days and after that I think it's like $19 now for the full version.
