7 days and this EVO LTE is going back!

[midmofan]

i went into a sprint store today and they confirmed that there is no multi taking issues with the evo4glte. I asked if they were getting complaints and the csr stated no sir "we have not received one complaint". I'm not the only one who agrees that there is no issue.

Again I'm expressing the point that it sounds far fetched, of course there's plenty of things that can effect each phone differently but again switching from browser to home screen alone does not effect the download.

The thing is that there is practically an infinite number of app combinations that people can have on their phones so just because your setup works how you like it doesn't mean is the same for one guy or the next. Without knowing the exact combination of apps on a given phone, your individual experience cannot debunk what someone else is experiencing.

EXACTLY just because your multitasking isn't working doesn't mean it's broken in every HTC HANDSET maybe you should figure out what YOU'RE doing that making YOUR multitask act funky.

I don't understand why you are insistent that people are making things up. People for the most part aren't knocking the device; they're stating an obvious software issue in hopes of getting it rectified.

How can it be a HTC software issue if it's YOUR set up?

On top of that, most of the people experiencing issues in this thread are coming from either the OG Evo, the Evo 3D, or both, and easily recognize the behavior of the LTE is very different.

Lovely how you assume. I've Owned HTC 6700, 6800, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Evo 4G, Evo 3D and Evo LTE so this comment makes no sense.

Also, change your signature - your phone isn't stuck at Customs anymore. That's called "lying".

Attacking my signature? You must really be running out of ammunition of you have to stoop for a low blow,my signature one has nothing to do with the subject and two lives of the humor of how my phone was stuck in customs.

Excuse the hiccups i was recording with my 3D and using my other hand with the EvoltE

I think we all have to remember we have android phone which can be setup in millions of ways. Some have widgets on every screen, some use no widgets. With Sense 4, you don't have to use all the home screens. There are many combinations if widgets, texting apps, and Web browsers. Some have chosen to root, use alternative launchers, or use a completely different ROM. Some live in areas with great signals, some get crappy signals.

The point is that with all of the different setup and customization options, people's phones will behave differently. Some be have differently to different circumstances. I have no reason why. However, unlike iOS, Android was designed to be different and designed to be setup differently by users. The fact that quite a few people are having problems means that there is a problem and HTC should fix it.

If you have an EVO LTE and are not having problems, there is nothing wrong with saying it. I prefer it. We can all compare and see what the problem may be, if there is one. That is what the forums are for.

That's exactly my point you don't like the phone great for you but don't try to force second thoughts on the users who are happy, you want an iPhone over the evo go to I more you want a GS3 go to the Samsung forums, state what your issue was and keep it moving stop trying recruit others to follow you

The point here is not trying to recruit people to lead a revolt against HTC, but to spread awareness about the problems with the primary goal getting a fix or an announcement of a fix, and for people to make informed buying decisions. I like HTC as a company. This is the 4th HTC device I have owned. They have made some great phones. The Evo LTE is a significant step up from the Evo 3D, but the problems some of us are facing is making this a step backwards in some pretty jarring ways.

Think it is abundantly clear that the multitasking/dropping downloads/text/etc. is a Sense 4 issue. Personally, I haven't had it happen so much that it breaks the experience for me. I've had an email I was composing totally delete a paragraph before my eyes. No switching between anything. I've also had a dwnld from playstore stop and act like it was never started.

Thing is though, I've had HTC devices for awhile and Samsung devices before that. HTC has never completely broken on me like the Samsung instinct did. So, I've never gone back to Samsung, never will. I'm also a person who likes to fix their own problems if I can. So, I've also rooted my og EVO, EVO shift, and now the EVO LTE.

Yeah, HTC should fix the multitasking issue. I think they went with a more aggressive task killer to save battery. Since the biggest issue with the og EVO was battery life maybe they wanted to fix that issue? Same thing with the WiFi switching off after an hour or so. Granted they shouldn't have an option to keep it on if it doesn't work.

If u really want to fix your phone then I suggest u root. You're going to get a quicker fix there than thru HTC, I can guarantee u this. For everyone who thinks rooting is bad and kills your warranty really needs to spend some time over on xda. It doesn't kill your return thru Sprint because they handle it, not HTC. It also doesn't kill google wallet to flash roms if u reset it before root/flashing.

Write an email to HTC if u really want the issue fixed thru them. I doubt they have people on every forum throughout the webs looking for issues. I don't choose to do that though. With the time it took to complain I have rooted my phone and done away with a lot of bloat that can cause these issues. And I haven't had one of these things happen since.

So the same people who didn't know anything about the phone until roughly 11 seconds before it was available for sale have now become the de facto technical experts? Yeah...........

Ok, today my phone is acting all weird. I haven't been able to recurve texts or receive calls. I go to make a call and I get an error report. I tried to update the prl and profile, but get an error report stating the device is not connected. Sense goes black, reloads and restarts. Wtf!

I loved this phone, but it is giving me hard times. I can not believe HTC will not fix this. I loved my first evo and that was a machine.

Best buy said they don't have any new ones in stock and are already waiting for replacements that people returned already. they told me to wait for the gs3, but I need a phone that actually works now. I have no idea of what to do. I might also just get rid of sprint too, because there service is terrible.

I just wish this new evo would just play nice, there is no other phone like it. I am not really a Samsung person neither.

This sounds like you may have had a defective phone. At least mine is usable. It blows. I suggest getting a refund and try finding a Sprint Store, Radio Shack, Target or WalMart that has one. They all sell them.

Okay let's cut the BS yes multitask reloads but its not broken, downloads cancel, that's BS the only time I've had downloads cancel is when I cancel them or my phones shuts off or when I move from wifi to 3g.

I am telling you FOR A FACT that I have had it cancel all downloads and reload Google Play completely, just by switching to the camera or certain other apps. It has done it to me three times out of 5 times so far. And others have confirmed this also. And we were not changing from wifi to 3G. Oh, and by the way, it also shouldn't do it when the display is turned off either (which you seem to confirm it also does for you).

So because it hasn't done it to you, otherwise, you are calling all of us liars. Brilliant.

 

[crxssi]

Man.. I tried running Airdroid today to copy files over. Files were copying, (just 100MB file), and it seemed fine.. it was chugging along at about 20% when I left to go shower, get breakfast made, etc. Came back about 20 minutes later and it was stuck on 50%.

This NEVER happened on my 3D once. I had to close the program and open it again, connecting to it again, to get it to work once more. This is not the way the phone should work.

And that is not even necessarily the multitasking issues. That could be it suspending the program immediately when the screen is off (which it should not do) or dropping the WiFi connection when the phone is idle (which is should not do by default).

For multitasking comparison, I was using my 3D last night and I couldn't get it to redraw a browser window, play store, or tapatalk forum once. Not once. And this is NOT an ICS thing, because I'm running ICS with Sense 3.6 on it. This is just a completely busted Sense 4.

And I think I'm getting to the point of real concern that this thing just doesn't work properly one bit. I can tolerate browser pages refreshing, as dumb as it is, but when downloads cut off once the screen is off or uploads break, this is NOT acceptable.

You are right. It is not acceptable.

 

[crxssi]

Are you stating that even changing this in Settings>Wi-Fi> MENU> ADVANCED> KEEP WI-FI on during sleep>choosing option NEVER(increases data usage) , still forces the wi-fi to sleep at some point during the night???

Yes. But you don't HAVE to change the setting.. I believe by DEFAULT it is set "NEVER". However, it doesn't matter what you set it to, it *will* drop your WiFi connection, and it doesn't take all night to do it. Anyone don't believe me? Set your phone down, then a few hours later (maybe much sooner), turn it on and immediately look at the status bar. WiFi will be off. Several seconds later, it will negotiate a connection. You can also look at your router's WiFi client logs as further proof.

NONE of my other Android devices have EVER done that. And there is a specific setting that says to "NEVER" do that, and it does it anyway.

Unacceptable.

OMG

1) Most people don't even know what multitasking is
2) Most people don't know what REAL multitasking is- hint, it is not suspend and reload
3) Most Sprint store employees are about as technologically competent as my cat
4) YOU JUST CALLED US ALL LIARS AGAIN.

Will you please go away? No matter how many times you say "there is no issue" that is not going to make it true and it only makes you sound even more ridiculous and further anger the many non-clueless people who are already upset that the phone is not working as expected (or more probably, as it should). You are, in fact, trolling.

I Love how my response to ONE person is magically a response to all of you, secondly i stated when "I" go from WiFi to 3G not everyone here, and if you really want to get down to it the Evo 4G and Evo 3D would also break downloads if the screen was off for a certain period of time which is why i never downloaded roms of 3G. Third You and everyone else attacking me have to get your head's out your A$#es because i wasn't talking to you or anyone else i was talking to the 1 individual who made the claim i found far fetched and debunked in front of all of you on here. should the evo be disconnecting after the screens been off for a while no it should'nt but again people are saying this phone has NO multitasking which again i call BS. Overly aggressive multitasking Yes, no multitasking, BS. so if you're saying there is no multitasking then yes i am calling you a liar and ill post it again

Is it as good as WebOS? No, is it as good as stock? No, but it's there i do one task do another and return back to the same spot i was at in the first. go grab an idevice running anything below what 3.0? to see what NOT having multitasking really is.

 

[crxssi]

I Love how my response to ONE person is magically a response to all of you

But you WERE addressing everyone by your wording. And here are FOUR examples from FOUR separate postings of yours:

its not broken, downloads cancel, that's BS

some posts here that are simply not believable

i called BS on the people saying A. i cant finish a download if i move on to another application

downloads cancel, that's BS

In each case, you are not just saying "I don't have that problem", you are implying that other people are lying, not believable, incompetent, or that the issue is made up (BS). And you wonder why people are upset at your postings?

And nobody has claimed there is NO multitasking. If they did, I would jump on that in a heartbeat as incorrect. They are claiming multitasking (not task switching) is not working correctly sometimes or perhaps often. Maybe you are just getting hung up on the word "broken". When people say multitasking is "broken", it doesn't necessarily mean it is malfunctioning 100% of the time or in all cases. From my dictionary: "broken: not functioning properly." If my car radio wouldn't work as it should half the time, even occasionally, I would consider it broken.

Mercury81 = Baghdad Bob (Google it if you don't get the reference )

@Psycho: Lighten up Francis (again, Google if you don't get the reference )

The issue is not black and white. There are clearly situations where multitasking performs as expected, and other situations where it doesn't. I have personally experienced both. We've got a lot of folks in this thread talking at both extremes, when the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

As for me, and the way I use my phone on a daily basis, it's going to be addressed one way or the other (OTA or ROM). And don't tell me I need to adjust the way I use my phone, because I've seen it work as expected on much lesser hardware running ICS.
