Multitasking Blows - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

So I've had the EVO for almost a month now, and I've found that whenever I switch apps the app reloads so that you cant get back to what you were doing. This really sucks, and I wish HTC would acknowledge this problem and fix it. If not, it would be awesome if the talented.devs found a solution.

Since you posted in q&a what exactly is your question We already have many multitasking threads, no need for another.

New OTA soon

Within the next couple days we should get an update, primarily for the green tint a lot of us have ffrom the camera.
If you don't get it within a few days I'd check out the HTC site for it.

Lol dude I know. But it tweaks some other minor issued too. Idk what they include though.
But don't get me wrong, this phone is my favorite by far. And I've had the epic, OG EVO, and the shift. And this kills all those. Dead.

I know it might be too late for this OTA, but I wonder if it closes the exploit to obtain temp root.
Just wondering How and where did you happen to get this info from?
Yeah where's your source.
I still wont touch any updates, im not loosing any chances for full root and unlocked. Ill deal with it, im sure it'll be baked into a custom ROM when theyr'e available.

Cerberus Security App

I just wanted to let everyone know that this excellent security app is offering FREE life time memberships (licenses basically) until February 29th to mark having a hundred thousand users. To get it, just install the apk, create an account, than go here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFR4VHNka3czd2FJV2FIaXFYTHp0aGc6MQ
The best thing about Cerberus is it's root permissions to do things like force GPS on if it's off, take pictures if people try and access your phone and email the picture to you, and of course send it's location to you along with standard wipe my phone functionality. Definitely worth checking out. You can find it in ROM Manager or on the Market. If you get it from ROM Manager it will install the apk into your system apps so that it survives factory resets and will still provide all of it's functionality.
Oh and I'm sourcing the find to Android Police.

I hope not too. It seemed legit to me, but I guess we'll see come March 1st when the keys are supposed to be sent out. The app itself is very much so legit and is truly one of the most powerful security apps out there. I really hope this is real.

Now that I have tried it, if I don't get a key I'm going to buy it lol

Does this not work on the Note 2? Having connection issues since I left Nexus S. I read the help and it wasn't helpful.

Is there some reason why you are resurrecting a nearly year old thread in the Evo 3D forums to ask a question about the Note 2?
ramjet73
Because Necroposting is where it's at.

Is there anyway to see the HTC log files?

I've had the random reboot problem (about once per day and I've only seen it happen once), and was wondering if there was anyway to go in and see the crash report that gets sent to htc? When it asks me to send it I know I can preview the log, but is there anyway for me to go back and view it?
Also do you guys think I just send this evo back under warranty? It's completely stock haven't ran an ruu yet but I'm about to.
This seems to be a common problem with the htc amaze. Is this also an issue with your phones?

There's a multipage thread a few pages back. Doesn't seem all to common but it definitely is an issue.

I bought one on launch day and it rebooted a lot so I exchanged it this one hasn't rebooted at all after a few weeks
I think if you use root explorer you can view HTC log I just don't remember where exactly its located. You can also pull a last_kmsg with adb or an app.

Mine just started to do this 2 weeks ago. I thought it was an app that was updated. I was thinking about doing a reset before trying to take it in. Has anyone tried resetting when this happens?

htc one x update and Sense 4.1...

apparently the one x on att is getting update to android 4.0.4 which also has a fix in it to remove the bottom menu bar, the way rom developers have been doing. wounder if the evo will get the same thing.

Yeah, if even that long. The funny thing is that the change is so simple (go find runandhides thread, he shows how he did it) that anyone that knows how to decompile/recompile an all can do it. Let alone HTC, it shouldn't have taken them this long.

No I must agree. You may be mistaken about what is broken with multitasking on our phones. The One X fix removes the black menu bar at bottom of screen in some apps & moves recent apps to a long press of the button. Our multitasking problem is Sense not storing the state of apps once we switch from one to another so that when we do switch or multitask back to original opened app it has to completely restart. This fix does nothing to help that and I don't see HTC releasing one anytime soon seeing as that is how they intended it to work, so from their pov it is working properly.

Thanks for that..What I was going to reply to him with would have been way to Katty and troll like... :good:
Have you guys even read the HTC ONE X update thread or did you just read the post the OP posted and see what it contained?
Go read the XDA thread please
I know it has nothing to do with the menu button. Its a RAM issue, and its being reported as being fixed by multiple users.. Go read the thread.
Being "Katty" gets "Katty" responses. Don't make assumptions about others' knowledge
Nothing in that android central article says anything about multitasking being fixed by this update..Now if you want to find those threads where people are reporting improvements then I will gladly read them.

I agree, nothing in the android central article says anything about it. I didnt reference that article. I referenced threads right here on the XDA website.
The discussion regarding multitasking is HTC's "memory optimization". That means the HOX boots with more ram available, not multitasking being what it should be - multitasking.
I really like this phone. I can deal with a moderate task killer. I don't use the phone like I do a computer. All I ask for is a level of multitasking where I can browse the web, change an album or two, send a message, and return to browsing the web - seamlessly. There is clearly enough ram, let us use it.
Sent from my EVO
Unfortunately HTC's current next generation smart phone's have been a big flop. I'm sure this update will make the current user base happy, but it will definitely not attract new users. HTC has been to slow with its updates to fix current problems and unfortunately it took me to install CM10 to finally use multitasking the way it was meant to be. Htc better fix their problems quickly or they'll be the next Nokia.

I knew I wasn't going crazy. My ram percentage was always under 25 percent. Something was very off about that. That's the same percentage my Evo 4g gave off with the same apps installed. Sometimes my Evo 4g was better. Smh. Multitasking won't be updated by HTC until October I bet
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
About multitasking from what I just saw over there they are getting more free ram avail from get go but HTC still did not make it so apps won't reload but that was one persons account...someone on AP said it was completely fixed...so its hard to say so many people seem confused...

Aosp 4.1x - 4.2.2 torch time out

Hey all, I have a question for all you out there in XDA land, rezound county. Is there a way to prevent the torch app from timing out when the screen shuts off? It is really annoying, as the toggle and app day it is solo on. I have only encountered this issue on this device. My old T-bolt and Eris before that never had the issue. Is it an ICS/JB thing or device specific?

I tried to play with the code in the android.XML once. I was obviously unsuccessful. One thing i noticed is that it uses the keep screen on command rather than android.permission.wakelock when i changed it the app would force close so i missed something somewhere relating to permissions. I haven't messed with it in awhile but i may try again when i get my new computer
