I've played with the HTC EVO 4G LTE ... Ask me anything!

Will there be a voice assitant not just a Voice Command Search on the new Evo I heard Samsung Galaxy S III have S Voice that not only follow command but also hold conversation

Does everything seem to still float on top of the screen like the one x?

Phil- Thanks for taking the time to answer all of these questions, it's greatly appreciated.

I currently have an EVO 4g and enjoy sense quite a bit. I've been on AOSP roms almost since the beginning though due to the extremely poor quality bluetooth streaming. I read back in the day that the bitpool was much higher in CM7 and other AOSP roms. Do you notice any difference in streaming bluetooth audio from, say, the Gnex to the X? Maybe you could compare an old sense phone (ie OG Evo) to the X. I really hope this has been solved in the new iteration of sense as i listen to Pandora in my car everyday. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Is there a 4g on/off widget or setting somewhere that is easy to get to? No point in draining my battery if I'm not in an LTE service area.

 

[dave12285]

We just found out today that there is at least a switch for the lte. Not sure on the widget.

You can turn 4G off in the settings.

Switch to CDMA Mode to Save Battery Power
If you don?t need a fast data connection, you can switch your phone to use only the Sprint 3G Network. This saves battery power.
1. Open the Notifications panel, and then touch > Mobile network.
2. Touch Network mode > CDMA only.

Has anyone heard anything about taking screen shots. I don't understand why this requires root. My ONE envy of the iPhone.

If it is like the One X, all you have to do is press the power button and down volume together or power button and home button together.... screenshots are a standard feature in ICS... no root required

My evo3d can screenshot no root. No need to envy the iPhone whatsoever!

No root but Evo 3D takes 'em

ICS natively takes screenshots with Power/Volume Down at the same time. I take them all the time on my Xoom. I doubt sense 4 removes this functionality

Hold the power button down then press the home button quickly

Agreed, that's cool looking!

TSF Shell brought a whole new look and feel to my phone. Bought it when it first came out just to refresh the Evo 3D until the Evo 4G LTE comes out :thumbup:

 

[dinslow]

does the new evo 4g LTE come preloaded with all those useless apps that you cannot delete? and i do mean useless, like amazon mp3, nascar, nova, blockbuster, kindle, etc. i have the evo 4g and its a really great device, and i am happy with my sprint account, but no option to remove the useless apps has made me think twice about getting the new 4g LTE, they really eat up the internal memory, and you can't even swing them over to a 16 Gb SD card. thanks for any reply in advance

Virtually every phone will come with bloatware. With the size of the internal memory in this beast you won't even have to worry about them, though.
