Evo 4G update to Froyo OFFICIAL August 3rd (OLD)

[storino03]

12 more hours lol. I'm hoping that there won't be much lag personally. Everything else is just an addon

I just can't wait till Tuesday already I had a feeling it was coming very soon and this is the beat early birthday gift ever.

hoping someone can get out a rooted version fast ...

I think the some big questions... Does HTC fix Facebook sync in this? Or maybe changing the compression for photos and videos for better quality.

In Sprint's slide deck shown over at Engadget, there is mention of improved video quality. It remains to be seen exactly what the improvement is.

We still don't know if there will be any improvement to the still camera.

I'm hoping for noticeable battery performance improvements but I won't hold my breath.

I'd be happy if my battery didn't drop 10% in 10-15 minutes after taking it off the charger.

I'm hoping it tweaks the GPU driver a little so that games like Asphalt 5 don't lag so bad they're unplayable. At this point thats the only thing that would keep me on the EVO and not the Epic.

Does anyone know if a full backup will be required for the update? I have a non-rooted phone.

I am new to Android, so I would ask if major OS updates like this have required backup in the past? I doubt it, but I can't say for sure

Gmail Cut/Copy/Paste and quick toggle between Gmail accounts will be sweet. Also Froyo SPEED will be nice.

2pm Eastern time I will be hitting the Firmware Update like a madman

Did they say that's when you can manually update?

 

[Cubfan]

I really hope they give us more fake bars, like AT&T did with the iPhone.

Seriously, though... I'm looking forward to video improvements most of all. Speed would be nice, too, but I'm not feeling too bad about the speed of the device now.

And, of course, Flash in the browser so I can watch "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central's site.
