    Contest closed - Win a free HTC Evo 4G HDMI dock

    Personally, I'm planning to pick one up so I can hook it up to our new 55" Samsung LCD and show off some family video along with some mobile video. My wife also has an EVO so whenever we want to show each other anything we can just pop the phone into the dock and play away.

    Gmail Sync Issues After Froyo Update

    There is no real fix until Google's patch is pushed out. Some folks have luck but it's never permanent.

    Type Faster With SwiftKey?s Predictive Android Keyboar

    I downloaded the SwiftKey keyboard. It guesses at what I'm trying to say far better than HTC's Sense keyboard...but it's slow as dirt on my EVO so I had to switch it. It's a shame. Another thing is did that bugged me was that I had to correct my word before putting any punctuation in otherwise...

    Froyo audio quality problems acknowledged by Google, fix coming (eventually)

    Believing customer service about technical details? heh Pandora, in high quality mode, uses 128kbps.

    Pandora WTF!!!!

    Google swapped out the audio codec, incorrectly, which caused this issue for AAC streams. Google already fixed it in the Froyo branch; we just have to wait for an update which who knows when that'll come :(

    Gmail Sync Issues After Froyo Update

    According to many folks within that thread, most solutions are temporary unless you can ditch Facebook as it appears related to many of the issues.

    lolololol Can you stay on topic, please? We were talking about going from Source -> X and Source -> Y and I told you it wouldn't make sense to go from X -> Y. It sounded like you agreed...and now you're back to using it. That's what I said (well, almost; they don't re-encode it to all formats...

    Thinking of buying, but why is video quality so poor?

    I used to own a Pre. The photo and video quality was an absolute mess compared to the EVO. Am I missing something? The Pre didn't have a very good built-in encoded so it would have lag all the time in the video.

    Think of TVersity. It's a software application that takes one source and sends it to another device as another source. It's not a very good re-encode. That's what Google does. I don't know what this means. I agree, why would a video saved in one format have influence on other formats created...

    Whoa, slow down there bucko. Please re-read what I wrote. They have software that streams videos into other codecs, not a stream encode to an end user (that would be insane). It's very simple, would you want the ability to stream any of your file formats into what you need, save and store that...

    Gmail Sync Issues After Froyo Update

    Google said they're working with HTC to get a patch out and expedited through the carrier's process so hopefully we'll have a fix soon-ish. Gmail PUSH second google account broken since froyo - Google Mobile Help

    A fix is coming for those who can't receive push emails!

    Google responded to the issue where the Gmail application doesn't receive push emails. Looks like they're working with HTC to expedite getting a patch through the carriers; I just wish I knew when to expect it. Gmail PUSH second google account broken since froyo - Google Mobile Help

    Google has never done this. Instead, they provide a way to stream the formats from one into another and then cache them. Going through and converting everything would be pointless as there will always be other codecs coming out.
