Any issues with unrevoked or free wifi tether?

 

[Eazy123]

I can't imagine a better wifi signal. I get a good signal at home through two concrete walls, even better than my Pre fared. If it's even better I'll be extremely happy.

Updated via WiFi. Took about 10 minutes to install. I seem to have one more bar on WiFi sitting in the exact same spot. I'll be charging it up to 100% and see how the battery lasts today.

This is NOT a hardware issue. Someone over at XDA's already fixed this. I'd like to see a source for your "not going to get fixed" statement.

Sorry.... I had not researched this much... I read it when the phone first came out and HTC's first "OFFICIAL" response was that it was hardware related to the HDMI drivers on the phone and they had said the 30 fps was plenty enough since most major motion pictures are filmed at 24 fps......

I attempted to search and see all the "hacks" that have been done that increase the fps to 54 - 60.... it was never an issue for me and when it first came up and HTC released their response I never looked into it again...

I havent gotten the cue to update yet and Ive tried manually. But I did notice this morning my phone was not charging but when I looked at my widget Juice Plotter it said +18 hours. Normally I am between 10-13. Im not sure if automatically update because I cant find it, android newbie. But if it did update, using UnrEVOked still works for wifi tethering.

Switched my wireless router to N band only at 5ghz. Evo can't find the network now. Perhaps N band wasn't part of this update?

Just installed the HTC update. Found that it closes the "security gap" that allowed ShootMe screenshot app to work.

My Unrevoked will NOT root anymore

Even if it gets N, it won't be on the 5ghz band. I don't think it has a 5ghz radio.

Every time I do this I am getting a force close error.. com.android.phone
Any suggestions?

Try powering the phone off / on, then go to the phone app, then try the method.

 

[ChaosShadow]

Will this update effect FULL Root?

Not only did we lose our android wallpapers. We seem to have lost the ability to choose the stock android launcher. Now when I press home it only gives me the choice between htc sense and lancher pro.

 

[dpg]

Did it do this for anyone else?
I can no longer long press a key in texting, like it does not bring up the exclamation mark when I hold down "a"... This is very upsetting... I have tried three reboots and one battery pull.

mine still works fine

Funny, I was just checking that after I posted. It does work with the router on "N" only at 2.4gh, but only pulling 65MBs. Haven't tested range yet, but looks like an improvement.

I think this fixed the intermittent issue I had that popped up when scrolling through old text messages. I would scroll towards the top to read some older messages, and all of a sudden it would go straight down to the latest message without a new one having come back in. I am guessing that might have had something to do with the grounding issue. I still don't see how the grounding issue was a software bug seeing that some people had it and some people didn't.

Also, I had an issue with data usage. My 3G data indicator would be on constantly killing the battery in the process. I did a hard reset and it seemed fine after that, but I did see a few instances still where the 3G on without any reason as to why it was on. Someone suggested that the social networking was responsible for that, and seeing how I used 4 GB of data in just 3 weeks, the fix for social networking and battery life might have to do something with this.

We'll see.

Done in Cleveland. Lost two icons, one for Android Central Widget (ahhhhhhhhhh!) and one for battery widget...might be a widget thing already reported?

Can't check WIFI but screen feels more responsive. A little too responsive? Maybe in my head...

Same for me, guess HTC didn't much like us tossing their useless Sense aside, off to find a better launcher unless anyone knows a trick to get the stock android apps back? Thanks.

I just found this to be true as well.. how disappointing....

 

[Holsum]

updated.

No Shoot-Me, no Overclock Widget

I can confirm that shoot-me no longer works

Ditto. I take it there is not another app similar to this one, so if we don't root our EVO then no screen shots?
