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

[Phil Nickinson]

Phil,

Does pressing the the the camera button while the phone is locked and the screen off wake and unlock the phone going straight to the camera app? I've swear I've seen some videos where other phones (I can't remember which for sure. Sony maybe?) where this is the case.

Thanks.

Oooooooooooo, crap. Shoulda thought of that. What was the previous model that did that?

I heard the part about being able to play tunes through your car speakers. How is this done? Is there a fm tuner or receiver needed for the Bluetooth stream.

Just saw the thread on how Sprint ruined the HTC ONE X design in the Evo 4g LTE conversion. How much different is it and is it that drastic for a picket line to start forming in front of Sprint stores?

Sent from the future on my Samsung Galaxy S 3!

Seriously, folks need to calm down about this.

Are there resizeable widgets and such in ICS on it? I more or less want to know about how Sense 4 compares to ICS, what got cut out, etc.

Then I suggest you read our Definitive Sense 4 Guide

Actually saw a video where the HTC spokesperson had to turn the screen off and pushed the camera button and went straight to camera from sleep. If u hold the button in, it snaps 4frames a second. Then u pick the best image and throw the rest away.

is the screen tech in the evo 4g lte the same as the htc one X?

the spec sheet says "HD super LCD" while the one x says "HD super LCD 2"

Do the homescreens rotate to landscape when the phone is resting on the kickstand?

Mmmmm......kickstand.

Click your heels together. Seriously. Don't worry about this.

This is actually my main concern about this phone as well. I plan on doing lots of rooting and ROM flashing on it and often need to pull the battery when stuck in a bootloop or hard crash. Is there another way to get out of a locked up phone when you don't have access to the battery?

I would assume that it would have a pin hole where you could force the restart. It works the exact same as a battery pull

Do we know which LTE bands this will support?

Has anyone heard if Sprint will allow LTE roaming on Verizon or AT&T? Verizon is going to have LTE in my area LONG LONG LONG before Sprint. Sprint hasn't bothered even giving my area 3G let alone any type of 4G....

Sprint and LTE use different frequency spectrums for LTE. I don't see how roaming would be possible.

Phil, as EIC of this beloved site I am surprised that you're not familiar with the 10 phases of EVO love.

My Man! We've been tearing these threads up! You start 'em all and then I just post. By the way, this is #100 for me, so if we're racing then I won and you owe me beer or money or something.

I hear that the 1900MHz LTE band is in use here. At some point we will have roaming on other LTE networks, but not for awhile.

Does the cam app support time lapse like the Galaxy Nexus?

Thanks in advance

 

[raiderep]

Hey Phil, does the camera have zoom? In the pics I've seen it seems to have the bar at the bottom for it. I miss this function on my ns4g and am seriously considering jumping ship from nexus land for this beauty and this is a must have for me.

I was watching a video of the One X using the HTC Media Link and it rotates the home screens. Don't know if it only does that when you're using that accesory or not. And don't know if the same thing is on this phone.

Any insight on how much the new EVO might go for off contract?

I doubt it was announced but I'm also curious about this. Weighing in on whether it would be cost effective to open a new line, cancel after a couple months and pay the $350 fee
