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

Edit: Except mine says 1/2, guessing you are getting the previous update as well
I am stuck too. Probably server is overload right now.

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.....

I downloaded and it fixed the phone icon on lockscreen.

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...

No. take it back. Not once on my Evo4g stock and not once on my 3D. Just imagine how bad it will get when you start overclocking it...
...and if you don't start overclocking it, well, wtf? You wanna underclock it just to keep it from fruitloops?
Take it back.

Mine straight up shut off once. I just chalked it up to being upside down in my pocket tho
My Samsung Moment did that all the time, but no thats not normal and Id say take it back. Neither my E4g or E3d has ever done that.
I got it from best buy so I'm going to take it back tomorrow but someone told its better to take it to sprint is this true?

Mine went back to Sprint today for a few strange issues, including random reboots. This was the first time I had exchanged a phone, it was quick and easy.

mine is doing that :O brand new. this was the problem i first had with my evog. so this sucks......... a lot
I should be able to take out back to either one i think. I hope they replaced it and not send out for repair

funny? anti-joke?
Reboot? Yes.
I did a hard reset after 4 days of it happening and it didn't reset for a while then it started happening again randomly. Like I could have the phone charging while not using it then a reset. It even happened to me while I was actually talking on the phone. I dunno why it's happening. It has to be the software coming in conflict with some app. I mean it's not a root or bypass method out that would cause damage to the OS. Maybe I should contact Sprint tomorrow about it.
Well, I called Sprint after I got another random reboot this afternoon. The rep connected me to order support and they're sending me a new replacement with a return kit to send this one back. So if you're having this problem, contact Sprint ASAP.
Mention to them that you did a hard reset to avoid going to a Sprint store. They won't replace it at the store if you purchased it online.
I just went to best buy and they replaced mine so I'm happy

Sort of on the same line, seems like sometimes a brief power button tap will bring up the shutdown menu, instead of putting the phone to sleep recently. Been watching it debating about returning it for a different phone. That happening to anyone else too?

This happened to me with my first phone. Random reboots, like 15 the first night I had the phone. Took it right back to the sprint store and swapped it out. New phone not one single random reboot.
Ok, I've had the replacement for 3 days now and I just got my first random reboot. I wasn't using it at the time. Just charging.

that may have just been sense restarting.
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?

Hi!
I just got the HTC eVO 3D, and I'm still trying to get use to it. I got a little scared when I found out that I can't use the bottom left and bottom right icons on the touch screen (the icons 1 that is to the left of the phone button and the appearance 1 that is to the right of the phone button)
I have a feeling that there is something I'm missing!
Any help would be appreciated! I tried searching this but I had no luck!
Thank You!
Try re calibrating. Go settings display calibrate. Hope it works.

I can't recabrate, but I mean those parts work on the phone anywhere else...The All apps button and the personalize button don't work :S
try rebooting, formatting the phone, factory reset, and if all that fails, then you can try returning it.
*dont forget to back up your stuff before deleting everything lol.
and try downloading a different launcher like Launcher pro or ADW Launcher.

Yeah, so all the way at the bottom I can't touch anywhere...which is weird because I can still use phone call....keyboard etc which are all located in that area:S
Would flashing it to a different rom help?
This is very weird, I also recalibrated it, and its still doing that. The only thing that confuses me is the fact that I can fully use the bottom screen in apps, texting and surfing:S
I have no idea what this is...any other suggestions, I did factory restore is there a way to reflash the phone (compeltely reflashing it) would that matter?
Sorry about the questions!
It may well be worth flashing a different ROM and kernel make a nandroid and give it a go. Very odd tho!

Try a custom kernel like anthrax. I don't think it will work!? But still worth a shot.

Defective memory address I'm thinking
K - I've not found any other explanation but gradual disintegration of the internal flash memory. What kills me is that there isn't a ready repair.
Anyway, the symptoms tend to grow (I know) consistent with memory breakdown. Many functions work in landscape and not in portrait. Unfortunately some key functions have no other solution - mandating (for now) a phone replacement. That seems really stupid. In the new SSD world there are memory bridging utilities that work with specific drives. These test and re-do the logic map that sits between OS & apps and SSD. Like the old sector tests but not.:cyclops: Can't find such a thing for Android. Maybe because Android is CHAOS and IN HELL?
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.

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.
