Take this with a grain of salt as this user can not reveal his source. Word is the next OTA update uncapps the FPS.

Funny, I was having a discussion with someone and we were wondering why they capped it to begin with.

They said it was hardware limitations due to the HDMI port.

...edit:"30 FPS uncapped"
Revised to be
"30 FPS uncapped--allowing 31FPS"



i'm all for 'uncapping' that FPS, but i've heard alot about battery drain. thankful i just bought my 3500mAh on Amazon.
if they tweaked it to not hurt the battery as badly, then i'll be a happy Androidite.

ah! thanks for that answer.

edit: wait, does this mean the HDMI out is going to be modified somehow as well?

Guess we will have to wait and find out lol

I'm all for sharing information but rumors often lead to disappointment.

Let's hope this one is true.

"HTC has adjusted for 1080P out from their HDMI port" <--- Drool?

"HTC has adjusted for 1080P out from their HDMI port" <--- Drool?

does that mean we will be limited to like 15 fps due to the alleged hardware limitations?

 

[jagox5]

ok? so we getting the update tomorrow?

Break the 30 fps and the calendar edit option coming back.....priceless.

It's about freaking time. The calendar issue has been driving me crazy. I really hope this is true.

Where did you get the information that they're outputting 1080p?

 

[SdotJ]

if true I would still take the wait and see approach because I'm not gambling my root on this alleged ota.

I'm sure a couple days later xda will have it up and running with root

I really hope they did fix it... so unrooted users who were saying the 30fps cap is not slowing down the phone would really know how slow the phone is with that cap...

I didnt..just wishful thinking.

Unrevoked just tweeted this:

If 3.29.651.5 be the final version of the #evo4g OTA, then it is safe to flash -- unrevoked and unrevoked forever still work.

Who trusts this will be a real ota update and it will happen tomorrow?

Just a newbie question, not new to phones but to tech anything....What exactly does the cap slow down? (ducks and hides)

A LOT. Some games were awful (no offense, but the cap killed some of the more poorly built games like air hockey), and the UI is just not as smooth.
