More on the 30FPS cap ...

[Phil Nickinson]

Boom.

 

[I.R.R.V.]

Nice......just got my evo Friday this is perfect timing......

 

[r-nice]

Awesome! Thanks Philbert.

EDIT: I wonder if this improve performance of the phone when 4G is turned on. Right now, it's crap.

 

[Dave Blake]

Nice job Sprint/HTC/Phil...

 

[SdotJ]

This is great news. Wow HTC is moving quickly to keep the Evo up and running smoothly. Just hope this dosent screw something else up.

I've been following this since it got posted a few days ago as rumor. What exactly do they mean when they say a GPS reboot/fix for it? I have used my GPS and it appears to be functioning perfectly. What is this fix addressing?

 

[dekcufi]

perfect timing!!!! I was about to root

 

[splmonster]

Hey Phil could their be a new video once the cap is lifted? Graphic benchmarks between that and the Epic, maybe even Droid X in there to?

 

[2CupsWithString]

I wonder how this will affect battery life.

 

[splmonster]

Shouldn't affect it too bad... Maybe lose at most an hour.

I emailed HTC with this same question. I am having rebooting issues with my EVO with the GPS. I am waiting for their response as we speak.

Here is the response from HTC:

Thank you for your reply. Again, I currently have no official information regarding any update for the 3.29.651.5. This may be an update being pushed out by Sprint, in which case you may want to contact them for more information. If and when this update is made available, there will be information provided as to what the update will include in the message on your device if it comes over the air, or on our website at HTC Mobile Phone Support - HTC EVO™ 4G (Sprint) - Downloads.

This person at HTC says the update is from Sprint. My guess is they are not saying anything about it until it actually starts rolling out.

 

[Jerzyiroc]

So any word on how the cap is removed? Is it by the way that's already being done witch is by increasing the refresh rate or is it another way?

 

[Cubanjinx]

Anyone get/apply the update yet? Wat kind of numbers are you getting?

 

[BigRick10]

Unrevoked posted a YouTube video and they got 53avg fps.

Ahh thanx rick. Nothing im going to be missing out on then

 

[maduhbee#AC]

damn! I just rooted my EVO a couple weeks back! Oh well, back to stock if this is true! The only reason why I rooted was for the 30 fps cap. WOW, what a difference it makes in UI experience, finger tracking is almost spot on (still lags a little behind, but not quite iphone 4 spot on) and oh yeah, games run better too

 

[Stokes]

Makes me wonder why they even capped it in the first place. Probably weren't expecting such a backlash from the users about it.

 

[deparson]

And here I thought I read HTC say the 30fps was a HARDWARE limitation. Silly me, I must have misread!
