Does anyone use this app on the Evo 4g LTE? Does it play well with the phone? Do you see an extra battery drain or lag?
Thanks

I used it on my 3D but was too dumb to use it to the full potential.. have up..

I use tasker all the time. Used it with my OG evo. Have not noticed any issues with new evo lte.
I use it also on my EVO LTE and haven't noticed any issues at all. No extra battery drain that I can tell.
Been using it on my EVO LTE for a couple weeks, no issues to report and no noticeable hit on battery.
i use it too, with no hits on battery or anything. I'm thinking that some location based tasks might hurt the battery, though _ the type of thing where it has to ping gps every few minutes and stuff like that.
Works as perfectly on my EVO 4G LTE as it did on my EVO 4G.

For those who have the 3vo, do u notice an improvement in the wimax radio vs the OG evo?
NONE!!! Actually I am seeing a minor performance drop, cant top over 4MBS vs the EVO 4G at 5MBS.. whats even more weird is that when I test a Clear 4G Modem (same Service as sprint) next to the phone I get 6-7MBS so I am wondering if there might be some WIMAX limitaions placed on the EVOs...
CINR/RSSI is the same for all 3 units.
My 3vo (I still have hesitations in calling it that, but I digress.) can get 4G about 2 inches farther away from my office window (I mean literally 2 inches). I've tested 4G in my office many times and have marked the exact spot that 4G kicks in, so I know. Yes, I am a geek...
Yeah I've noticed a slight drop also.

My 4G doubled from the Evo to the 3D. May have been a coincidence with a upgrade in equipment but it it much better now.
There is definitely a drop in performance comparing to the og evo. I was with a friend outside and her og evo was at full strength and my 3d evo was at one bar. When we tried pulling up the same websites, hers was noticeably faster loading.
A little bit.
This thing will be smoking fast as soon as i get cyanogen on it.

Hi, I founfd this on the Dev Forum. Read post 1 and 2 it really works... I did it and now in my room I have great signal.

I'm new to Sprint; went from the new 4G to new 3D when it was released. 3D is awesome!!! 4G is one of the main features that attracted me to this device. I find myself only using 3G mostly. So my questions is...do you keep your 4G on or just turn it on when u need it. I live in Atlanta and have pretty good 4G coverage but my device will go on/off 4G
4g drains the battery very quickly so id turn it on only when you need it unless you have it plugged into a charger

I leave my 4g off unless I want/need it.
It's a huge battery drain for speeds that are not needed for 95% of the phones regular operations (email, browsing, etc.).
i leave it off unless im watching netflix.
I only use 4G for netflix, other intensive apps, and tether

I keep it plugged in at my desk and use the 4G combined with the hotspot to surf the web daily. Everyone is correct when saying that leaving 4G on unplugged equals 2 hours of battery life if you're lucky. But I must say, the hotspot on the 3D is flawless and works 100% of the time (when Sprint isn't dry humping their towers) compared to the EVO 4G where it would get flaky often and need to be reset all the time.
Hey, I recently got a 3D and have been having a few problems,
the main problem is that my texts have not been sending to the person and this happens about 50% of the time. The other issue I have is with 4G Connectivity, It takes much longer then my epic used to, like about 10 seconds more. 4G is also very spotty, even with 4G hacks. 3G is faster though, and that a plus point. Does anyone know of a fix for these problems?
Oh yeah, and one more issue is that the phone dock bar looks pixelated, it looks bad if you stare at it, I've never had that issue on my EVO 4G or Epic
Anybody noticed improved data and GPS connectivity with the E4L? Particularly over the 3D? Purely Annecdotal I suppose, as I don't have any concrete speed tests to compare, but I've definitely been getting better data connections than I've been used to. Ditto with my GPS, as I've no dropped signal whenever my phone goes below the level of my dashboard.
Anybody else having these benefits, or was my 3D just jacked up?

No, your 3D was not jacked up. The radio on the 3D wasn't all that great. I too get better signal, speeds, and call clarity with the EVO 4G LTE. It was really hard for people to hear me on my 3D, but with the EVO 4G LTE I don't have that problem as much.
I've searched the forums for this, but don't see an exact match. Sorry if I missed a duplicate thread, and a link to it would suffice as an answer.
I am nearing the end of my 2 year contract for my Sprint Evo 4G. I think they are referred to as OG Evo's here for some reason? OG = Original? Anyway, it's been a GREAT phone. Wife got one at the same time. I rooted both of them, installed Sprint Lovers Rom and have basically done nothing else since except refuse updates and install/uninstall apps. I rooted it to be able to do wifi tether, which I depend on at times.
The only real reason I'm thinking of getting the 4G LTE version is the camera. The camera on the Evo 4G just flat sucks. My only complaint on the phone, but a big one as I am outdoors a lot, like to take pictures a lot, and would like to get away from carrying a point and shoot in addition to my phone. I've played with settings until I'm blue in the face, and get the occasional decent picture, but it's just not good. I want a very good camera and it seems this phone has one, by all official reviews I've seen on it.
But I also read on the 4G LTE forums a lot of reports of more dropped calls, connectivity and slow data issues compared to other phones like the Evo 3D. Where I live, all we have is 3G. I've done some speednet tests on it and get in the area of 1.25mb down, .30mb up currently. That works for what I need. We will likely not see LTE anytime soon, if ever, here at the house (in the Ozark Mts of Arkansas).
Am I likely to see performance impacts if I go to the 4G LTE? If so, has anyone done comparisons to see how much is lost? I really, really, really want a better camera, but not if it's going to make calls and/or tethering worse.
I went from an original Evo to the LTE and I have not noticed any change in connectivity or call signal quality. I do have both wimax and LTE in my area and my LTE speeds are roughly double what I was getting with wimax. My 3G speeds are identical between the two devices. The camera is indeed awesome; there is virtually no shutter lag which is a miracle for a cameraphone.

No LTE in my area as well but between wifi and decent 3g I'm enjoying the faster speed of the LTE

That's spot on for my wife and I who both switched from the OG to the LTE, and the LTE is only going to spread

It just so happens that I have both my OG Evo and new LTE right here in front of me.
In general, I have noticed the reception of the LTEvo is marginally worse (0 to 5 dB worse) which is not significant and will probably not be noticable.
Wifi and GPS appear equally superb. No complains at all.
The camera is definitely better overall but that should be a given. Daylight pictures are excellent but indoor lowlight picture are very subject to motion blur. It is fairly difficult to get a picture to come out perfectly crisp with low light. Installing a ROM with an HD Camera mod definitely helps too. I've attached several pictures. A couple to demonstrate the challenges of low lighting and a couple with good outdoor lighting. Could I have taken a better low light picture? Sure I can and I definitely retook the pictures that turned out bad but that's an extra shot and extra time wasted.
Good luck!
I had an OG Evo myself, and it was a smooth transition from it to the LTEVO. I did have connectivity issues and WiFi issues, but that was addressed by the latest OTA, which was baked into several ROMs with r00t access.
The big delta for me between the OG Evo and LTEVO, was the hardware platform with better CPU, RAM and sdcard specs. On the software side, it came preloaded with ICS and JB is on the way, so there's no comparison.
In the camera department, yes, I hated the OG Evo camera, even at the 8 MP benchmark. However, even stock, the LTEVO camera destroys the OG Evo in the camera department and there are mods available here to enhance it, which I run personally on my daily driver handset.
Last but not least, the OG Evo necessitated carrying extra charged batteries with you, and chargers themselves, since the OG Evo was an energy hog. The LTEVO is sooooo much better in this department, and I've had runs that lasted well over 24 hours without a charge.
Convinced yet?
HTH!

i came from the og evo to the LTE, both rooted with s-off. and my data seems faster on the LTE. as far as dropped calls i can probably count on one hand how many times that happened between both phones.
I suspect you'll be very interested in a thread I created. Took a pic with the Evo 4G, and then one with the LTE.

It's pretty obvious that the LTE has a MUCH better camera.
