Because now they can update apps only without messing with the rom. These app updates don't even restart the phone so no testing from Sprint. By bot restarting I mean they don't need to install anything to the bootloader or do a rom install.

I agree and hopefully they will very soon
Has anyone actually downloaded this yet?
Mine just sits on 0%, using wi-fi and any other data connection option.
is anyone else having a hard time applying this update? It just stays stuck on downloading 1/4

Yeah, probably a big overload with lots more people getting the phone today at Brick & Mortar stores.
just got them... still no phone on lockscreen.
Update works I can confirm.
For some reason mine just sat at 0% as well. I tried 3 times. I rebooted then tried it again and it worked.
I think you have to reboot your phone after you install it as well.
Delivered to you from my Simply Brilliant EVO 3D!
I did both updates but my phone icon is still there.....

FYI you have to reboot to get the phone icon to show on the lockscreen again....
Update puts the phone icon back in the lock screen but after you apply it, it doesn't stay UNTIL you do a RESTART then it's stays
Mine still won't download... nto sure why. Tried rebooting and using WiFi and 4G.
Hopefully I'll be able to grab it soon.

I received my Evo 3D yesterday, spent hours getting it all configured and re-app'd. I avoided the OTA, but couldn't access the Watch/Green Hornet OTA. When I read about the second fix to the fix OTA, I installed the first one, rebooted, saw my phone icon missing on the lock screen, as advertised, then went right back to settings and downloaded both the Watch and updated fix. All worked flawlessly, and now my new phone is purring like a kitten. No problems whatsoever, all is well, and even watched a bit of that Green Hornet movie in 3D. Wow. So far HTC is so much better in updating/support than Samsung (I ditched my Epic 4G for this phone). Marvelous.
Can someone who has updated please check in about phone and post the version number?
BANG! from my shooter...

This phone is great!
Now with that out of the way let me move on to the point.
My only two annoyances so far is that the camera freezes sometimes and also when I use the pattern lock sometimes it spazes out and doesnt detect me holding down and sliding. Hard to explain but yeah.
I upgraded to a class 6 card and still get the issues occasionally. Is this likely software of hardware?
I never had this camera lockup. Did u take the OTA? Btw Im not sure about the puzzle lock, never used it before.

Hmm...well I dont want to take it back and get a phone with a different prob...its not bad its just annoying. I figured it was software...maybe I will have to return it =/
I got this idea to turn the security off just to see and it seems like it fixed it....I cant see any link in security and the camera app but its working...for now. I might just be getting lucky I will use it some more and see if it freezes up any more.
Maybe you could try putting security on and then taking about 10 consecutive pics and see if you get a freeze? Also set it to lock immediately once you turn screen off.

Question? Are u synced with HTC hub?
Yes but while I was looking I noticed I was not syncing to HTC Sense for some reason. I turned it on.
The security thing is not the prob BTW it happened to me again just now with security off.
Why do you ask about HTC Hub?

Because I've had the same problem. I've done several factory resets. And I've come to realize for me it was HTC hub causing the issue for me. And the only way I was able to fix it was to do a factory reset and not sync with HTC hub at all and I haven't had a problem since.
Weird...if I dont sync with HTC hub I wont be able to get the flashlight app will I?

The camera worked fine but video recording after about a minute or so that's when I had my freezing and reboots
Hi all,
Couldn't find a thread about this, sorry if it exists.
My EVO 3D has been experiencing what can best be described as phantom touches. I leave the phone alone with the screen on and it moves the home screens in a jittery fashion or randomly presses the screen. Approx middle, slightly to the left just below the centre of the screen and also closer to the home/menu soft keys. It's not a permanent issue, but it does go absolutely "mental" at times making the phone unusable until it settles down.
It also interferes with the lock screen, playing havoc with the pattern unlock.
Tried all the usual... factory reset etc etc but to no avail.
Has anybody else come across this?

I've had mine do that albeit, rarely. He home screen goes sporadic or the app drawer scrolling is messed up.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
It used to do that for me when I had it plugged in to my car.
Video record it! Then take it to the sprint store and say that you're scared of your phone and get a new one. If it can work for my neighbor, it can work for you! âīšâ
Mine does this horribly when my phone is in cold air. My last 3d also had this issue and it was replaced when installing a new digitizer did not help.
It's getting more frequent.
I'm in the UK.. I'd have to be REALLY scared of it to go to Sprint in the US

Lol Yeah, that would be a long trip. You ever thought about rooting it and installing a new ROM?
My Atrix does that when I set it down in certain surfaces, like a mattress out pillow, or carpet, but as long as I am touching the case of the phone, it doesn't do that.

I took the screen protector (Martin Fields) off and was trouble free for two days. I suspect that was coincidence though as it's now worse than it was prior to that.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Mine doesn't do that but there are times when I unlock it and it automagically goes to what ever app is in the lower right side of the screen. My wifes has started doing it also. Even replacements that I have gotten have done it.
i actually just had mine swapped out for the same reason.
did it on ICS, MIUI, and warm.
I say take a chance at running the newer OTA update combo pack that Xhausx put out. It does include some sorry of touch panel firmware update I believe. It's worth a shot just for the hell of it.

Likewise. After a month of having my Evo 3D, the screen would act possessed. No matter what I flashed or did, nothing would make the slightest difference. It got so bad that I ended up returning it.
OP, return it. It's a common issue with these phones.
SAME PROBLEM! i have flashed viper, synergy, olympus, warm, and more im sure! Same problem every time ! Please let me know if anyone finds a fix without returning the phone! THANK YOU!
It is a hardware problem, changing the ROM isn't going to help.
My d1 did the same thing after a year or so. It actually still works as long as you can keep the phone at a certain temp, but as soon as it warms up from use it goes back to it.
My girlfriends started doing that today
downloaded touchscreen tester from the market and what do you know digitizer is jacked some spots show as multitouch with only one finger
ok that helps. so, do i have to actually return the phone to fix the problem? or can i get a touchscreen tester and find the problem and fix it? or is that not even worth the trouble?
Thanks for the help
Oddly I just started encountering the same issue two days ago and now can barely use this phone.
Bit of an update.
I did S-On and so far haven't had the issue reappear. Obviously since it is an intermittent problem, it's not definitely gone.
I'll give it a day or so and report back.

+1 on this.
Now I know it's not me being crazy. I've always had random apps opening up after preforming an action even though I was sure I never touched that app.
My phone just blanketed my screen with a notification that there's a Service update. Simply written "The update is complete and changes will now be applied"
Kinda irked cause it didn't notify me that there was one that i could simply DOWNLOAD, no it just downloads it, and wants to apply it RIGHT away. What the hell is this new update? i'm pretty sure a'lot of you are going to see this pretty soon, otherwise i can only cancel it by pressing home, but it KEEPS COMING BACK.
Edit: should i really be scared about it? i mean the boot loader is already unlocked by HTCDev, should i REALLY care about this update? well besides getting rid of root... now that i think about it.. but then again. I might just let it do it so everyone knows what version it is, and what exactly it entailed. i swear if i get locked out of root from this ill get mad, but whatever. xD FOR SCIENCE!!!!!!! as it were
Edit2: sooo now im feeling kinda dumb, i just realized that it could have possibly just done a profile update itself, the notification went away after pressing ok, but the device didn't reboot. but then again i dont see anything that could have updated. WTf did i just experience? XD does this phone have some ability to update the profile or PRL itself?
Check your prl # in settings and tell us what it says
Edit: yea nvm that was deff. a profile update no worries needed your good

Also, One X is getting a SW update from HTC to remove the bottom menu bar. Wish we could be so lucky. Of course, I would wait til devs release a rooted version and never accept from HTC. I did think it was cool of HTC to address that promptly, though.

If the One X got it, I'm sure we will soon enough.
Well my phone died today, rebooted and would not turn on.. held down power button, power vol dn, etc.
Sprint is ordering me a new phone. My question is, hopefully the phone will not have the latest OTA installed. Is there a way to stop the OTA when I go to activate the new phone? Hopefully it wont just install no matter what.
Thanks
It's possible that the newest version will already be put on there before you even get it.
Otherwise if it's not on there, when you get the ota, let it download and the just don't install it when it ask. Simple as that.

Had my Sprint HTC EV 4G LTe for 5 weeks. Rooted phone after week 1. No problems until week 5 when I had left it in my windshield mount for 2 hours in the sun. After that there were several unexpected re-boots then after executing a "Mirror" app it froze. Any attempt to reboot phone gave continuous white HTC screen with vibrate or boot loop. Bestbuy junked it out replacing the phone. New phone is now updated with new OTA update waiting for new root code... No indication that Bestbuy detected "tampered" screen with root.
Otherwise very happy with phone!

Rooted my exchanged EVO as well. Had no trouble w the exchange at best buy either, but was before ota update. The girl doing my activation didn't turn over my new phone until after all the updates had been performed when the phone is first powered on. Snatch it from them before they accept HTC update is all I'm saying.

If you get the OTA, it is not that big of a deal. You can still root using this method: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/ Did it yesterday and it worked like a charm.

Yeah I dont trust them. Worst case if it comes with the new OTA I'll just do the HTCdev unlock and root. From everything I read it puts me back pretty much where I was with root and s-off.
Just pisses me off quite a few people are having the same issue the phone dies for no apparent reason.
I'm on my wifes og EVO because last night, I plugged in to charge and this morning when I woke up, phone was dead... No button combination worked and I gotta assume its a paperweight...

Mine still had a 40 percent charge and was only on the charger for 5 mins. I am seeing a trend, from others that this has happened to. Most if not all were not using the charger that came with the phone.

Hi everybody, I have a bit of a problem. I was rooted and unlocked running CM10.1 perfectly fine but with the minor bugs that come with Cyanogenmod, no biggie. Its not the first time ive been running custom ROMS, I unlocked/relocked and 2 times before that perfectly fine. I started noticing that while running cm10.1, I would touch one thing, and a bunch of other things get clicked on, and I couldn't back out of them, or press home. I have to lock the screen, then unlock it and it works, I thought it was just a bug. It got really annoying, so today I relocked and unrooted my phone back to stock. But it does the same thing. It will freeze constantly, touch screen calibration is off sometimes, and does things on its own now.... I cant take it to sprint because I dont have warranty, and my HTC warranty is voided because I unlocked it. Has anybody experianced the same thing? Any advice, fixes, solutions? It will do it about every 5 minutes or so. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
