Mine went through I still am waiting to do some tests on the battery performance increase that was supposed to be included

 

[Flip]

I got mines fine...no issues at all so I don't knw what they talking about

 

[bucc0303]

I lost all my android wallpapers the live ones and htc papers are there

 

[m109rider]

no problems here

 

[evo be me]

no problem with update so far. ;]

Wow, I can't believe Sprint pulled the update. I guess they breached the acceptable casualty limit.

Sprint was probably really quick about accepting the update.
The users usually find that great, but once updates have problems, then that quick update backfires.

Sprint Pres always got the update first... then Verizon Pres. But Palm didn't let out too many buggy updates (well...).
Good thing they pulled it for now.

Same here. No other issues noted yet.

I am very glad my update worked perfectly on my Evo and feel very sorry for those for whom it did not I bet a huge portion of the phones were updated before they pulled it.

Android/HTC/Whomever need to take a clue from WebOS and make a phone restore program. It is impossible to "brick" a Palm Pre/Pixi, because if something went horribly wrong (which is never did for me in the year I used it, although I have heard of it happening) you can just download WebOS doctor (for ANY OS) press a button on the phone while turning it on, and blindly/automatically re-image it with a known, working ROM.

It is unreal that you can't do such a basic thing with an Android phone (or perhaps just the HTC?) and end up having to take it in for service or exchange it for another. (Of course, also this whole "rooting" thing is unnecessary on WebOS... I do miss some things about my Pre).

Sorry for my ignorance, but what update???

What EVO update is everyone talking about?

I just checked the update section on my phone and it says I don't have any....

Is there another place I am suppose to be going to get this?

or do I already have the current version?... where do I check that?

People were having issues (http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/19816-official-6-28-update-thread-discuss-here.html) so Sprint stopped distributing this update at this time

 

[stlfrosti]

OMG no kidding... wow.

I'm glad I was too busy yesterday to jump on that one ...

BTW, what is by far the best 'BACKUP APP', paid or not, I don't care, just want the BEST and most reliable one...

 

[meyerweb#CB]

Both MyBackup and Titanium Backup seem well regarded. And I think they're both free, so try them out and see. Or use both for added safety.

 

[fraz]

I use Titanium Backup

 

[QuasarZ]

Interesting. I updated with no issues.
