I wish I didnt take the update... I am half tempted to trade for a Nexus 4G if it wasnt for the whole no SD card thing...

Not missing an SD card at all, but if you need it, you need it i guess. I use google music for my music, and i still have like 10 gigs free as it is :p

16 GB built it!!! Do you seriously need more? If you need to take files/pictures off just hook it up to your computer.

Also does anyone know if its common on the Evo 4g to have your battery drain 10% within 20 minutes of it being unplugged? after that it seems to hold the battery pretty well and I dont really need to charge it for the day unless I am constantly on it browsing or playing games. I just noticed it drops 10% within minutes of being unplugged and its kinda got me wondering.. I have most everything turned off besides Mobile Network. 4g is disconnected, Display is set to low, and I use Task Manager once in a great while to make sure a few programs arent scanning

How long do you let your Evo sit plugged in to the charger after it finishes charging? If you're plugging it in at night and unplugging in the morning, it wouldn't surprise me to see a drop within the first hour since the charger doesn't trickle charge. If you're unplugging it right after it gives a full charge notification, then maybe your battery just needs conditioning. Check the battery life sticky, pretty sure I saw guides on how to condition it in there.

Yea seeing as how I have a 16 GB SD card in my Evo now thats nearly half full I could say that the need may arise. I may not even use the whole thing but I like options! Dont you? lol

yeah its usually charged all night while I sleep.. I mean after the 10% drop its kinda goes quickly to 70% but then I use it alot and can make it a whole day without having to charge. Dont think the battery is junk.. im just thinking what you said where the charger doesnt keep it trickle charged.

Thanks for the replies :)

Mine does the same thing for what it's worth, and I can easily last an entire day with moderate use. And you're welcome!

I am a flashaholic, Every phone i have owned except one was not rooted, Last week i purchased the evo 4g without investigation, I am on a contract and it would be torture not to be able to customize this phone, I sure hope devs get past this locked bootloader, I went through the same issue with a tablet the acer iconia a500, within a month they came up with recovery and root for the device, I have been reading dev's wont pursue the evo 4g due to they are working on 3vo, I sure hope that isnt the case.

I have been going through different people in an open ticket with Sprint regarding this inability to revert to Froyo. They cannot revert it and have no phones without the current software (2.3.3). I was rooted and running CM(6)7 for well over a year and then the famous micro-usb port bad issue popped up so I had to get a replacement...which shipped with this terrible bloated nonsense. Essentially (since this is a business plan) I will either get a Nexus S 4G as a replacement or I will move to our other provider ATT and get an Atrix.I get the update, that makes sense. Go ahead and update the people that do not care or have any intention to root and run an optimized OS. Making the OS version locked and not revertable is ridiculous.
HTC is mostly to blame I understand that, but Sprint SURELY had their part in this as well.

I've done the same thing. 3 different sprint reps have said only HTC can do it and we all know how thickheaded HTC has become. I found a rooted Evo on eBay and its at the post office. Can wait to pick it up in the morning!!!! I'm going to hold onto this one till an exploit is found then switch cuz my replacement is new.

sent from my unrooted supersonic using the tapatalk app. being unrooted sucks!!!

Take a deep breath and just keep repeating "this too shall pass." Somewhere out there some good hacker is working on it. It's only been a little over a month since the first GB OTA update, and less than that since the "fix." We get so impatient!

i never update my phone since i rooted it, im still running 2.1...My friend did si im waiting for the exploit so that i can help them...still on stand by mode for the exploit...

I have been reading in august or September htc is going to unlock the bootloader for 3vo, but have not seen anything about unlocking evo 4g. That would be a bummer if this evo 4g would be left behind.
