stock unrooted sprint evo 3d, i know some people hate benchmarks. but going from 25 fps in nenamark2 with lots of stuttering to 44+ fps completely smooth does say something. what did they change? plus my standby battery life is insane now, if this has been discussed i apologize. i could not find it
does no one else notice this?
well I'm not running the latest OTA so I have nothing for you.

recommend to have a try. it saves much battery when screen is off
I've been sorta disappointed with the latest OTA actually. I've tried several roms based off it and they all had the same problems: bluetooth audio cuts out, bluetooth song controls lag (like a couple of seconds between the headphone button press and the actual action), slow data that turns itself off when I'm using it, random GUI slowdowns/laggyness and even a random reboot or two (which has never happened to me with ANY other base including ASOP 2.3 and ICS).
I'm running MinkRunny's rom right now, sense 3.5 w/ 3D working. I've never used anything smoother

Odd, if anything I've had the complete opposite experience with my OTA. I'm running the OEM Rooted version of 2.17.651.5 and it's surprisingly faster.

So I am a proud owner of the Thunderbolt now and I am loving this phone a lot. I’ve moved over from the Sprint EVO. I was rooted since day 1 with that phone. I ran CM7… and while my overall phone and speed test were faster than the stock phones in the house… I still seemed to have constant issues… be it from the phone itself or the network.
Of course I can’t leave well enough alone with this phone. I wanted to put Gingerbread on it (it still has 2.2 WTF?!) and I wanted to put Sense 2.1/3.0 on it. So I successfully rooted (WOW that was easy) and installed clockwork recovery. I decided on SHIFTS3NS3 V1.4F as it seems to have exactly what I want (I kind of don’t want to go back to CM7, everyone claims they have no signal issues but I am sure they do, especially when my Sense loaded Evo could get 4G where CM7 could/would not).
So BEFORE I rooted or did anything, I did several speed test throughout my home and work. Smooth scaling and great speeds. After rooting and installing Shifts3ns3, I started running test. My speeds dropped… and now I was seeing “skipping” with the speed test (gets to a point, stops, drops, stutters going back up, drops again, etc). So I get to work this morning and the speed test is doing the same here. I did a nandroid backup of my stock set up last night before I installed the new ROM… restored it this morning… and ran the test at work again… lo and behold I am getting faster speeds and no stuttering.
So perhaps a radio issue? I noticed there are Froyo radios and GB radios (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128)... When installing the GB ROM does it update the radios? Was I running Froyo radios on a GB rom and is that bad? Should I try upgrading to the latest GB radios and run test again? Does any of this Rom switching/radio switching affect the simultaneous voice and data ability (that’s actually huge for me and the main reason I got this phone)?
I appreciate any help. I’ve been a XDA board reader with EVO since 11-2010… so while everything is familiar to me… this all seems different with the Thunderbolt.
First off I would upgrade to the latest radio. Although these are *beta* radios, they work much better than the stock radios.
Second, after installing the latest radio try, Bamf 2.4.1. Just like you I like staying close to stock, but like extra elements with my ROM. To me Gingeritis is just too far from stock, plus the Carousel home screen is a pain in the ass. Bamf 2.4.1 is just stock with sense 3.0 weather and lockscreen, and without the location icon in the status bar.
Also, my speedtest on Bamf 2.4.1 was a straight shot. No drop offs what so ever.
And, of course this is all just my opinion but I strongly believe that Bamf 2.4.1 is what you want.

Quick question, since I am on page 10 and not seeing this answer... what is the difference between ADR and non ADR? He mentioned on page one that its "Adrynalyne. Its what I made according to my own wants"... but I am not sure what that means LOL. Only reason I am concerned is that there still seems to be a sense 3.0 lock screen bug that someone said is a known bug and to flash the non ADR version.

The ADR version uses elements of sense 3.0 while the normal version is basically stock. You want the adr version.

i came from the evo too so welcome. IMO the reason people are having soo many data issues is not from the radios but from the 2.3.5 build that was meant for the nexus s phone. 2.3.4 doesn't have those kinds of problems. just my 2 cents!

Low volume in call? Geeze... I wish I could turn it down! Gingeritis3D is blaring loud. I never use it more than half way up.
Thanks everyone for the responses!
I guess I am just scared to do anything to mess up my phone. I trouble shot and tinkered with the Evo so much so often.
Right now the phone works. And works great. I just wanna help the battery life some... and remove Verizons bloatware.
It seems the Thunderbolt handles radios differently depending on the build? With the Evo I would just flash a radio and I could bounce around from sense to AOSP, froyo to GB, and it wouldnt matter. The thunderbolt has MR2 radios... Froyo radios... GB radios. So my last question here is... right now I am on stock. If I go to a GB based rom, do I flash the radio first? And if I go back to the stock rom, do I flash the MR2 radios first (my phone updated to 1.70.605.0 while it was being set up in the store) then flash back to stock? Basically do the radios persist throughout the builds and I flash them according to what ROM I am using?
Thanks again.

The latest radio's available will work with all ROM's out right now (Including the latest Froyo ROM's).
If I remember correctly you should be okay to just flash the ROM (No need to flash the new radio as MR2 works with both GB and Froyo).
The Radio's persist through everything except a RUU or PG05IMG.zip flash (Depending on what you are flashing of course).

OK so it IS like the Evo then. The radio thread isnt stating that they are Froyo/GB radios... but where the radios got pulled FROM. I was totally reading it wrong.
Thank you for the clarification!
Does anyone have the stock bluetooth.apk for the EVO 3D GSM (ROGERS).
I have been playing around pretty heavily and I may have accidentally deleted the backup of my stock ROM.
I am having trouble on every ROM I try out with bluetooth. It cuts out, or it doesn't work at all.
The only reason I think I need the stock apk is that when I turn the bluetooth on and off, it works fine again... for about 5 minutes. I have tried multiple kernals and roms, but none work.
I am going to try a senseless rom, as I have heard that sense may cause HTC bluetooth quality to be degraded. Until then, though, I was hoping someone could give me a link to the stock bluetooth.apk.
Thanks!
My rom is a Rogers rom and senseless, bluetooth is working fine for me. Try it or if I have time later ill extract my application from it

I actually just flashed with your rom right now! I am going to test on my way home and I will let you know if it worked.
Another thing to note that was strange was that it doesn't work at all with Beats enabled. With beats off, it works for about 5 minutes.
Maybe buffering on the phone? An original HTC design flaw? Faulty hardware?

Seems beats causes more issues than its worth, I may remove it on both my roms, to be honest I don't notice a huge difference in sound quality anyway
Sent from my GingerDex Evo
So... home now, and it played perfectly through the whole ride.
Beats wasn't turned on, nor was I using the stock music player. I used PlayerPro.
I have replicated this scenario before on roms with Sense and it didn't work, including GingerDex V2.0. I really have a feeling it is something to do with Sense, or something HTC.
I really wish I still had my Stock ROM... I never used Stereo bluetooth on there before I wiped it.
I could make you a stock rooted Rogers rom, that's flashable, the only thing ill do to it is root it
Sent from my GingerDex Evo
That would be absolutely amazing.
Here is something VERY strange. I copied the bluetooth.apk and the BrcmBluetoothServices.apk from your nosense rom to the Sense 3.0 Rom that you have and another Sense 3.5 rom that I downloaded and it works without a hitch.
Files are identical though, which makes absolutely no sense to me at all.
I rooted my phone about two months ago and didnt have any problems at all. Used HTC's website and loaded cleanrom reborn 1.1 and the kernel that came with it is 2.6.35.13-g277012f
Recently, about a week or two ago, I noticed the camera starting to fail. It occasionally wouldnt load in 2D mode, just give me a black screen. Now, it rarely loads at all. Either the whole screen is black or it brings up the camera app (stock, instagram, fb, all the same) but the part of the screen that would show the picture is black. When I turn it to 3D mode the screen freezes, then flickers, and quickly closes to the home screen and still flickers for about 3 seconds then is fine.
My questions are this, could this be caused due to needing an update, a new ROM or new hardware? Also what do you all recommend as far as the best ROM for taking pictures?
And on an unrelated note, does anyone know a good ROM that supports 4G hotspot instead of it just automatically switching to 3G??
Thanks
As for the camera failing sorry to here that but you can down load the amaze camera from the dev section and they have all different version of it and its for both CDMA and gsm

That sounds like a software issue.. Might be the rom or the kernel.

My camera just started acting up also, I went ahead and wiped everything and installed bone stock rom (rooted only) and camera is still messed up.
When I use the main camera it works fine, when I switch to front facing camera - it stays on the main camera and just inverts the image
Is this a hardware or software issue? I am guessing it is the hardware
Let me know what you guys think.

Yup. Running an ruu removes root. Just don't run the hboot1.5 ruu if your on hboot1.4. It will save you a headache.

I would reflash the rom before ruuing

Nah. Just run the ruu. Make sure your battery is over 85% imo things go a lot smoother.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I really do appreciate the replies, but not sure I am willing to run the RUU and re-root since it is a pretty high likelihood that it is a hardware failure since I went back to completely 100% stock (only rooted) ROM. Torn on getting a replacement and having to deal with the Hboot 1.5 mess just so I can use the face unlock feature in ICS or stick with what I have an no FFC.
Been running the lastest update for a few days now and maybe its me but this last update didn't fix anything. Yes it gave us the option to get rid of 3 dot menu but that is simply a cosmetic thing. My phones seems to run exactly the same as before update, programs still reload when I try to "multitask" back to them, WiFi still loses connection for no apparent reasons and I'm still getting 3G dropouts. Just trying to see if anyone actually saw any improvements.

Didnt it also free up some memory and display it differently? Since Im a flashoholic and change roms like women (I wish) I have noticed smoother performance across the boards. When I was on the old base Id get occasional stutters but with this new base every ROM including stock its way smoother than the older base and mine sleeps better than before.
You won't ever fully get rid of the multitasking issues until you get rid of Sense. I have been running CM10 for about 2 weeks now and couldn't be happier. No more Sense, the phone is like a completely different creature. It runs the way it's supposed to now.

WiFi issue I believe may have something to do with what chip is being used, because I had no issues with the EVO 4G WiMax, but have had issues with my old iPhone 3gs and EVO LTE. Connected with IP Address, but no transmitting data. Have to flip WiFi on and off to reset.
Using Airlink 101 AR670W with custom Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) std
On the 3G dropouts, I noticed it drop out about every 30 minutes (not moving, connected to IRC channel)
It fixed hotmail sync, that is the biggest fix I have noticed.

Did you install the new firmware? The radio was a major fix. Also, Sense 4.1 is about 80mb smaller than 4.0. Freeing up alot of memory. I experience no lag at all on the new base. Not that I hold much stock in quadrant scores but on the old base my scores were around 5000 but the new base I have scores around 6000. My phone flies now with no lag and no overclocking with awesome battery life.

On the original firmware I was sure there had to be some kind of memory leak, the phone just kept running low. Instead of trying to figure out if there was, I unlocked and jumped ship so I never confirmed. Really, I would not be surprised if it was something to be patched
So I got a new evo yesterday, my original broke after a drop and I had s off on it since the first week or so, and never had issues. I ran CM10/10.1 since it was first available, sadly this new one came with the 2.09 hboot so after a few hours I finally got it to s-off. So now any ROM I flash....ATM it's Paranoid Android 4.3 there is constant lag at times and the same with CM10.1. So is this a new issue with updated EVOs or is there something deeper, I plan to try a couple of sense roms as well and see if that is a different experience. Hopefully I can get this sorted because I find sense to be appalling in its design.
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using xda premium
It's probably not related to the s-off process...my phone doesn't seem to like the latest CM kernel for some reason, so maybe you're in the same boat. I tried a variety of different aosp roms recently and experienced some lag as well, among other things. I've been running jamie's unofficial pac build (which has his custom kernel baked in) for about a week and everything is working great, highly recommend:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038683
EDIT: Of course, a few hours after I posted this I started experiencing significant lag with this rom as well. Not sure what the deal is, my phone will just lock up for 10 seconds or more and become unresponsive to any input. Then the FCs start. Back to sense I suppose...
