Did you have the same mutitasking issues with e original Evo? I have original and this issue could be a deal breaker for me.

It did on mine. I was surprised. It was tough to find out how to turn it off actually as its buried in the menu. I also don't see a widget for it.Does the LTE come turned on by default?
Pluses
---------
+ Screen is gorgeous, hands down best screen I have ever seen anywhere
+ Phone is fast, UI is smooth
+ Call quality is definitely better, coming from Touch Pro 2
+ Camera feels nice in hand, bit clumsy first day, but works very well now
Minuses
-----------
- Camera is really bad, hazy low quality. HTC - Shame on you*
- Sense is not really smooth, hangs here and there. A restart of phone gets it cleared though
- Face unlock does not turn on the camera many a times, black screen and then pin password option comes up
- Can't connect it to PC as Mass Storage Device
Does anyone else experience the phone getting really hot when running apps or watching flash video...stuff that puts a challenge on the phone. It can get REALLY hot in some cases...enough to make me worried. It often feels warm to the touch right around where the camera is, even after light duty use, but under more pressure it can get hot to the touch and uncomfortable to hold. Maybe a case will help but it can't be good for the internals.
Uhhh, I just can't believe that so many have bad cameras. My pics are crystal clear and 1000x better that any other phone camera I have used. Maybe there is some kind of protective film over the lens? Has anyone with bad pic images checked to make sure there is nothing covering the lens or that there isn't any smudging on the lens? Something is amiss here and I just don't get it.
Sense not smooth? Really? This is the smoothest interface I have EVER used. I had my E3D over clocked and running ICS with Sense 3.6 and I thought that was super fast. The E4GLTE kills it with the stock ROM! I have over 50 apps installed from the Market and every swipe is sooth as silk! Again, something is amiss here.
Haven't used face unlock but even the Google calls the feature gimicky, so I wouldn't put much stock in it being wonky.
No mass storage? I've had mine connected to my PC all day, dragging and dropping files all over the place. Now, the interface on the phone has changed, so things are arranged a little differently, so allow me to explain how it worked for me. When connected the phone brings up the "Choose a connection type:" screen.

Before you would select the big box in the upper right to connect as a drive. Now the selection is below. Just click the radio button next to "Disk Drive" and it should pop up a drive in Windows! It was that easy for me. Direct access to the SD card. I've been moving music and movies to it all evening and it works perfectly.
I do not get "Disk Drive" when I connect to Win 7 machine. Only options I am seeing are ;
Charge Only
HTC Sync manager
USB Tethering
Media Sync (this did not work)

Just got Evo4g, updating from tracfone, but use Ipod touch.
The big screen is really great. Main reason I got it was typing on ipod/iphone was not easy, and LOVING the voice dictation and swype.
Dont like that you have to use 2 hands to turn on the screen. You can do it with one hand on ipod. And the power button on the top seems to be asking to get turned on in a pocket.
1 - Cannot use HTC sync without buying/adding a separate SD card? I spent a lot of time last night downloading onto PC, and then it doesnt sync. Apple may be a PITA with sync reminders, but its so easy.
2 - Cannot synch music in itunes, only songs in my "music folder"? Will try using doubletwist.
3 - The emails are bigger than the screen in landscape and cannot sqeeze them smaller, so have to keep moving the email back and forth. Is there a way to fix this? I made the font to small a bit better
4 - Is there a way to permanently have the images open in emails, or do I have to hit "open images" each and every email?
5 - Is there a way to get 2-line preview in landscape? or do I have to keep switching from portrait (to see the preview) to landscape to read the full size email? This is really lame.
6 - Is there a way to type in from a computer contact info that is not in outlook?
7 - Is there a way to quickly delete emails, like the left-swipe on the iphone? or do you need to check, delete and confirm?
It seems that if you use gmail and other google things, ICS is great, but its really not so easy for other email providers, etc For instance I dont see why they make a difference between getting a gmail email or another provider email, its all the same to me (and I do not get many gmails) Then every address gets a bing when it updates. On the ipod one ding is good enough for any or all accounts.
The first app I downloaded does not work with Andriod anymore it seems, (Currency), but will have to check out some other ones.
While they say that with Android you have a lot of choices, so far I do not see them. Like its a big deal that you can have 4 icons on the first screen. The iphone/ipod has 16, but you do not have the lovely clock.
I got this big phone, as I do like the bigger keyboard for typing and like swype. But I have spent quite some time on trying to synch and it has not worked at all. The people in the store and when calling support are either not familiar with this new phone(as they have not seen it), or tell me that most of these things cannot be done.
While it may be great for tech-savvy people can do all sorts of things, most of us want everything easy, accessible and elegant. Thanks for your help
