anxiously awaiting... ota hasn't pushed to me yet.
btw, why no sense 4? anyone please explain. thnx

I would imagine that we didn't get sense 4.0 because HTC & Sprint want us to go buy it on the e4g lte. Even though our phone isn't even a year old yet.

Hi everyone,

I just updated my EVO Design 4G with ICS OTA. I was expecting
the phone to be much more faster, but to my surprise its laggy.

Some issues:

# Interface not as smooth as the gingerbread. It lags considerably
while opening apps or menu options. Especially the settings options.

# Previous version used to play all videos flawlessly on MX Player.
But now the video lags and skips frames.

Anyone facing similar lag issue ?

Not at all happy

... is there any way to get back to old ROM ?

Thanks
Bob

Same lag issues! Plus lots of force closing & crashing. Never tried mx player but not surprised, this update is buggy as hell! Looks like yesterdays ICS update for the evo 3d is having a lot of the same issues.

I had the same issues. I rolled back to the IceSpeed ROM which (in my humble opinion) its developers really nailed it.

Do a factory reset. Always fixes stuff after upgrades...

**ytravel** · 08-01-2012, 09:24 PM

How can you force the update? I have been checking the FIRMWARE UPDATE all day and it says NO UPDATE?

**Jay02xblazer** · 08-01-2012, 09:36 PM

HTC Software update just did it to my phone so far no issues

I dont know, I am trying to avoid all the Sprint/HTC bloat. I will keep an eye on the custom ROMs that some of the awesome developers on this and other sites so kindly share :-)

You can disable most apps thanks to ICS right in app settings

Hmm, thanks Joshua! I might actually try that!
I have been meaning to ask...is there a way to "de-sense" these phones? I know that is really trivial, nothing against Sense, but I kinda like the look of stock Android more and more each day.

Im kinda new around here, let me search older posts in case this has already been asked.

**Rally 517** · 08-02-2012, 03:16 PM

Go to android forums. We got a few ics roms there

**delta7** · 08-02-2012, 03:33 PM

much better with ics, some lag but overall better phone, very contempt with it, don't need to buy a new phone for a while.

No not exactly a method without breaking stuff bit there are ways to get a mostly aosp look and feel.

So far, I feel that ICS has been slower but, I'm diggin the look and functionality of it! I've been trying out nova launcher all day & it's pretty smooth & looks great. I am missing some of the sense widgets & such though.

Phone is slow as hell, I take back what i said.

**rafavarium** · 08-03-2012, 11:43 AM

Well, I decided to keep Gingerbread for now (for some reason it does feel laggy) and kept the IceSpeed. I installed Go Launcher and I love the look of it now, and consumes less memory (dont ask me how though), hehe.

I will be keeping an eye on the custom ICS Roms.

**dtreo** · 08-03-2012, 06:20 PM

Is this OTA really as much of a disaster as it sounds? Not sure I will update my wife's Design.

**dadathepanda** · 08-04-2012, 02:42 PM

I used to be really annoyed by the lags and bugs after the update to ICS but once i did a factory reset everything is smooth again. Yes, I had to spend hours personalizing and downloading all the apps again but it was worth it.

I second that motion.

It's always going to be laggy and buggy when you flash over what is already there. That is why when flashing a custom rom they have you wipe data first... Just like computers it's always better to do a clean install than an upgrade. In the case of android, reset the phone after the OTA so that you have fresh ICS...
