"A little more hope, someone just mentioned this to me,
" expect 2.3.5 in a few weeks with fixes,
someone already saw a new 2.3.5 head in AOSP
* [new tag] upstream/2.3.5 -> upstream/2.3.5"
FWIW I think that's a good sign."
(I do recall the EVO 4G having the same issues... the guy that sits beside me had a launch day EVO 4G and I remember him getting all hot and pissy about the reception... now his reception is like a rock.
showing less bars is BS... cause my apps keep screaming "network connectivity issues."
If the EVO 3d shows up before this thing gets a connectivity fix... I'm jumping to the EVO 3d. My wife's EVO 4G is solid with it's signal. I'll deal with it up to end of day 28... but after that. I'm switching to the EVO 3D of 4G which ever is available if the fix doesn't roll out...

Maybe when my wife gets home I'll get some speed tests from her EVO 4G that gets full bars at the same location and compare but she hasn't had a single drop out and I've been cussin' about it.

I would rather have the signal issues to the reboot and crash issues the EVO 3D is still having. It did at CTIA, and was confirmed still doing it a few nights ago at another demo show. No thanks.. I like my Nexus S.
EVO 3D also has poor battery life like VZW's Thunderbolt....no idea when that will be fixed either...not sure I want to go to a phone that barely gets 3 hours when my NS4G gets 10+ hours. No signal issues on my end either.
And you're getting this information from....where exactly? Not only does the Thunderbolt get more than "barely 3" hours but you have no source for the Evo 3D having poor life. Nobody does... the phone hasn't been released yet. At least try to not make up stuff if you're going to blindly trash a phone.
i got my information from a friend who is on the HTC project team for that phone. They have a short circuit somewhere in the circuit board which is causing the battery to drain way too fast, and they haven't figured out where the short is yet.[
In addition, there are LOTS of threads in the Thunderbolt forum about people having problems with battery life, losing 20-40% power when rebooting, etc. It's not just me, it is in the forums here and on phandroid and elsewhere. VZW has problems keeping batteries in stock for the Thunderbolt because of the high power drain. The manager (also a neighbor and friend) of the VZW store down the street from me says they have more power issues with it than Sprint has with NS4G signals issues (yesterday he told me has a 8% return rate for battery power reasons alone.
when are we gonna hear firm confirmation that a fix is in the works?
im worried today that the evo3d locked bootloader will outshine our radio issues.
