Evo update is live now!!!!!!!!!!

[ToddPsyD]

Mine seems to be snappier and crisp. I'm disappointed the notification icons are not green like I have seen on other phones with 2.3.

agreed it does feel "snapier" - not sure if thats due to the fresh feeling from an update or some "under the hood" goodness from gingerbread.

I'd say both. I'm happy with the upgrade, even if minor things were added / changed. ^

Has been rebooted, WiFi and many other settings reset several times but will still not download or even recognize that there is an update....I've only seen one other post like this so aficionados...please don't hesitate to jump in!

Agree - the startup audio is now completely out of sync with the startup animation.

I'd rather have the out of sync audio with this boot speed though.

Or better yet have it not load the audio at all.

Stuck on 3G at work so I can't wait to get home & download!

Is there anyone else NOT updating? I've spent a lot of time reading here and on the Sprint forum about all of the issues that people are running into with the update. It doesn't seem worth losing Netflix and dealing with all of the bugs just to have Gingerbread which I hear isn't that much better than Froyo.

If I was you I would wait a few days and see what kind of issues start showing. It just now came out and you can see some bugs that are already surfaced.

I really don't plan on giving it a try. I'm rooted and been using CM7 which is 2.3.4 for months now. I don't care for Sense and from what I have seen it doesn't look much different. Just some new fixes that you don't see and some new feature. The one thing that I have read about is the flash when taking pics at night. It flickers so your pics are not washed out. Other than that it doesn't interest me at all.

[fernando]

This will help with the audio:Silent Boot

 

[fernando]

will not work on a rooted phone

I noticed on sportscenter this morning that Shaq gets a call on a Evo during his retirement conference. You can definitely see the kick stand on the back.

I'm passing on the update. After spending all weekend on this forum, Sprint's forum, even the Htc forum, I'm not going anywhere near this update. There's just too many issues with it, my phone works great now. I don't want to screw with it.
