HTC Evo V is a bad phone.

I like the camera button too.
It is more convenient because that's where your finger is when you hold a camera.
And it was better for you to so you wouldn't get your sticky fingers all over the screen and mess it up.
Do you own a camera? Doesn't it have a button?
And the 3d to 4 d switch (not 2d to 3d) can be left in the 4d position.

There is NOT a difference in them if the Sprint branded one has Virgin ICS software on it. Stop saying this because it is absolutely not true. The hardware is identical.

You are correct. I purchased mine at Radio Shack and it says Sprint on it but is loaded with Virgin software.

I switched from Virgin Mobile/Optimus V @ $25 to T-Mobile/Galaxy S II @ $30 100 minutes/text/5GB and was tempted to go back to VM so I bought the EVO V at Bestbuy. While I do get a tiny bit better coverage for phone calls with VM, the 4G is throttled so Netflix, Slingplayer, etc don't work. Downloading attachments and Google Play (Android Market) are also blocked from 4G on VM. Indoor 4G is poor, but T-Mobile 4G has no restrictions and there is much better coverage, even indoors. The EVO V lags a little using Dolphin HD, where on the SGS2 there is no lag. I wanted to like the VM 4G option, but the EVO V is going back to the store. You can get a SGS2 new now for $428.

What you describe is a bad activation.

Android Market/Google Play is NOT blocked over 4G. I have been on WiMax exclusively for data on my phone for the last 2 months and updating apps is not a problem.

Nor is 4G throttled before 2.5GB. Yes. I can stream Netflix.

Do a factory reset and activate your phone properly.

So they throttle 3g but not 4g?
