Update coming to HTC EVO 4G LTE

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

He did.... He did a remote access to my daughters windows 7 laptop. He had me re boot the phone into the bootloader and highlight fast boot. Plugged the phone into the USB and went into the device manger and noticed the driver wasn't correct. I think he went to windows update and installed the correct one and then we ran the RUU installer and it worked. I've sent an email to him about the bugs I've found, but haven't got a response yet and I assume he's busy. Also sent Mo and email thanking him, and letting him know how great Jason's customer service is.

Has anyone tried on Windows XP yet?

Yes. I installed using a Windows XP computer.

Cool.
Pretty elaborate, though!

The email link is now "restricted" so now it's a wait and...wait approach

When it hit Android Central, they were probably flooded with requests and just stopped it.

Does anyone have the original 4.13.651.1 RUU? Can't download it anywhere and HTC won't respond to my request.

Would you blame them? lol Just look at what has happened here (and on XDA) since the article was posted! Sad thing was that the info on how to get it was here (and there) well before the articles were posted.

Does anyone know if Mo is still giving out links to the update? would love to update my gf phone shes been having alot of issues with updating apps and over all lag and issues. Hoping this would give new life to her phone

I requested the link from Mo yesterday using the email address I found on twitter (link is a few pages back in this thread) because the email in the AC article wasn't working. Got the link earlier today from HTC. Going to start the update shortly.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

I downloaded the ruu last weekend, but didn't want to run it on my work phone so I tried it on a spare evo lte that I keep around. That one is rooted and running meanbean, but it wouldn't update to the new factory rom. After reading the article that there would be no ota update I went ahead and upgraded earlier today. Only problem is that I was sloppy with my backup and lost a bunch of pictures. Everything on the phone seems to be running faster and smoother now and there are no connectivity issues. I have only had one phone call so far, but it was nice not to have to wrestle with the proximity sensor when the call ended. If that keeps up that alone will make the upgrade worth its weight in gold (of course, what does it actually weigh?)

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

Best part of the update is the change to only having Phone Storage and SD Card Storage. We no longer have Phone Storage, Internal Storage, and SD storage. Clearly, the reason the partition is too small for an OTA update is because the phone storage or internal storage partitions didn't have enough room for the update to download and extract. In addition, when storage does get full, it is much easier to delete stuff. If, and it's a big if, HTC decides to update after the RUU, it seems like it could be done OTA, now that there is a single partition.

I definitely prefer the old dialer. I use this as a work phone and I get and make a lot of calls when I am on the road. The sense 4+ dialer would show several names (maybe four) that were matches to what I was entering in. Coming from AOSP, I loved it. I could always find what i was looking for in those selections with just a few presses. Now I have an extra step to get there and its not as intuitive. Love everything else so far, just not fond of the dialer.

I agree with you about the dialer, it is a bit more difficult. I got used to scrolling through the call history to find who I want to call right there when you open the dialer, now it is an extra step. I love Blinkfeed, I hope the official update moves to sense 5.5 for the "save for later" feature. I lov3 having the entire phone memory for apps. All Android devices should be able to use the entire memory similar to an iPhone. The daydream feature is somewhat neat but not sure if I will keep it active.

Overall I really like the upgrades to the phone with the 4.3 update. The only negative I see is the change to the dialer where it is an extra step using the call history to call common contacts. I like the look of the interface, the stock email client is efficient for me, I am using Hangouts for texting, and add in network vision will wrap-up soon. The best feature that I love abiut this phone is the ability to make calls and surf the web at the same time.

Yea just swipe the dialer aside and your call history is right there

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

Still have no data roaming with this update? Has anyone figured out a fix? If there's no OTA, I'm a little nervous.....

One more time: 1. Settings/Mobile data/Roaming/ set to Automatic (not Sprint only.) 2. Domestic voice and Domestic data, both checked on. 3. Try Network mode with LTE/CDMA and CDMA only to see if one is better than the other. 4. Try with Automatic Connections on and off. (Connections Optimizer.) 5. Turn off wifi.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

Ok, so when my phone is connected, I have the USB debugging activated. Under USB File Sharing Mode, do I leave it as "HTC Sync Manager" or do I mount as a disk drive. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, tried all of this . No luck. Do you have the update installed and have roaming data?
