Some people seem to think that the multi-tasking issue is merely an app reloading for a couple seconds such as a webpage. While annoying, most native or popular apps still work OK though not true multi-tasking.
But what about fringe apps that get broken by the way the phone handles things? For example, I use an app called SuperLive Pro. It let's you view security cameras on the phone. But, let's say I have the app open and I get a text. If I go reply to the text then try to go back to the SuperLive app, it's stuck in a loading loop and the only way to kill it is to go back to home, open settings, go to apps, and do a force close on the app. Never had that happen once on the 3d or OG Evo. The main issue is when showing this to a customer it looks like it the system doesn't work which is bad for business.
There are also a lot of games that don't handle it very well either. I don't game a lot, but puzzle games like 100 Floors break if you switch away from the app.
I would like to make a video showing how this multi-tasking method breaks things but don't have the proper setup. The only cameras I have are my phone and tab, and it's difficult to set the tab up for something like this.
Does anyone that recognizes that in some cases apps get messed up that has a proper setup want to take a video? We might make more progress with HTC if we can show them how the phone improperly handles things which cause apps to freak out. It's easy to say it's broken and they can deny it, but if they can see something like I described above with the SuperLive app, there's no way they can claim that is how they intended things to work.
If not, I can try to rig my tab to get a video but don't think that would come out well. Can try borrowing a camera from a neighbor.
