Hello everyone,
My name is Michael. I recently switched from my Iphone 4 to the HTC EVO platform. I want to gain a better understanding of the software and hopefully learn to love it. First off the only reason I made the switch is because I could no longer afford to pay for AT&T's ridiculous rates. Secondly I loved the simplicity of the Ip4 and would like to perhaps make my experience with the EVO the same or better. The main issue I have with the EVO is that in comparison the software seems to be very glitchy and often it takes the phone considerably longer to complete simple tasks such as post a picture to my facebook account than my Ip4 did. The EVO was rated by multiple technology guru's as a better platform than the Ip4, so I can safely say that I am the weakest link in the equation not the phone. Perhaps some of you who made the switch can help me with the transition by sharing your experiences and or advice. I honestly want to learn how to operate the telephone efficiently but right now it seems a little frustrating and a bit overwhelming. Pardon my vagueness it's just I cannot seem to put a concrete foundation on what the issue is other than general glitchiness (if that’s even a word) and long wait times for otherwise simple tasks. Another thing I cannot understand is that sometimes I notice that applications that I did not open or use will show up in my task killer app. Why is this happening? For example I may be using facebook and the opera mini web browser and when im complete with my tasks ill open my task manager app to kill those two apps. I will then find the Google Maps app open along with 20 others that I didn’t use, running for no reason. Lastly, I want to emphasis that I am by no means bashing the software or telephone. Thank you for any advice or feedback!
