Multitasking fix? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Im a bit confused here. I've been away from the EVO scene for couple of months and when I arrive back I notice a lot of hoopla about this multitasking fix. I tried several ROM's which implemented the fix.
Now this is where I get confused. what fix are they exactly talking about? From what I remembered the multitasking issue was that apps and web pages needed to reload when one decided to come back to them, correct?
Well I'm still having this issue regardless of which ROM im using. Am I missing something here?

New ota. Beware.

Some have been saying that it was safe to take the ota... But there is another new one. I am betting it closes the hole. So be careful.

From what they've said, it's not recommended to take future OTAs, so a new one probably won't be safe... but I doubt it closes the hole as I would bet that they don't know what it is yet.
Just because someone discovered it, doesn't necessarily mean that HTC already knows where to find it.
I won't be taking anymore updates, because I don't want to lose the opportunity for root, but I bet this one wouldn't close the hole.
But, thanks for the heads-up about the new one. I haven't noticed it yet. Too busy tearing my phone apart lol.

Not taking any ever... Doesn't anybody ever learn?
Aside from the random FC i have absolutely no issues... Aside from a weak 3g radio, but, there have been no radio updates as far as I know.
Also sense blows. That is all.

i just checked and their wasn't another OTA.
Nothing new sense the Launch Day Updates
That's odd because I certainly got a new OTA prompt. And it is the first time that when I decided... The prompt went away.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
What was the original one? Because I think this one that prompted me was 1.13.651.7
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I don't think that this a new OTA you are getting. There were 2 that were pushed so far, and that is all Sprint lists on their website.
Something even more interesting though, and looked for the Evo3D Support section and it doesn't exist... I know that it was there about a week ago, just seems odd that there isn't any support section and they don't even show a link for the Evo3D to select as a phone in the support section..
Don't jump to conclusions on the phone not being there, but I would guess that it isn't there for a reason.. Hopefully something good!
OP: The one you were prompted for was the 2nd one.
no new ota atm
No new update for me either.
Is there a way to see the change log for HTC updates?

I think the closest you will get is on Sprint's website. Like I said a few posts back HTC doesn't have the EVO 3D listed anymore on there support section. That is where they used to show you what was in it, a little more detailed than Sprint..
Whats going on there... We can only wonder.
Any word on the ota

Anyone else having issues with slow ota download speeds. I'm using wifi and it only got 5 mb done total after leaving it to download overnight.

Nope, I just installed the OTA (1.13.651.7 from the 24th.)
downloaded fast over WiFi.
No new OTA here. Last time the 3vo had an OTA was the day of public release.

[Q] Das Bamf, ginngerbread and MMS.

OK. I apologize for the repeat question, but there seems to just be way too many threads with this mentioned, and way too much sifting for me to find the answer.
I am running Das-bamf gingerbread, de-sensed stripped (which is "wicked" awesome) and I am having a problem both sending and receiving MMS. I tried going into MMS settings and changing the source from Internet to Verizon, but to no avail. Does anybody else know of a solution?

I already have an exact duplicate of this thread open, literally same problem same rom same radio etc. Why open a new one? This needs to be consolidated and focused on in one big thread. So far I'm getting mixed reports. Some people say it works fine. Others say the same no MMS of any form. So idk what to tell you.
I for one know I am tech savvy and am very comfortable with command line and working my way around software, and I know I did everything fine. So I would really like to know what magical rainbow the people who have it working are floating along on, because I'd like a ride too.
I would have posted on your thread but it was like six on three AM and I was on my first cup of coffee.
I got mms working in gingerbread but I has to switch to Cyanogenmod. O only switched becauseI couldn't get my batt to charge with the dasbamf. I will most likely go back when both those issues are worked out

Have You Replaced for Silent Call Issues and Gotten Better Results?

Just curious if anyone has seen an improvement with a replaced phone.
I know of only one personally who has had his replaced and after two days the issue arose once again.
hey buddy, just had this happen to me right now, is it a software ? Or hardware? I restarted the phone, and it worked again... Weird!
Thanks.

You guys are aware it's a software issue that's already been fixed by Maintenance Release 3 available in the Development section, right ?
I'll never understand why so many people just jump the gun on getting devices replaced when 90% at least of issues are software in nature.

Crud I hope the Maintenance Release 3 is not the final one if the audio problem still exists. I hope Motorola is taking their time to find all the problems reported and fix them before officially releasing a maintenance release.

Probably because they want to. It was their money don't worry about it. I dont know why some jump the gun to run their mouth about stuff that isnt any of their business.
I was asking as the OP on this thread because I actually use my phone as a phone for communicating and not just playing games on it.
Kinda negates having a specific phone of it locks up and or has silent calls....so if it made sense to exchange it I would....so that I could actually use the tool I bought....ya know?
I initially had the same issue. Turned out I still had my old phone powered up. Once I turned it off and rebooted all was fine.... Maybe this works for you...

I replaced m y phone today at Best Buy and so far so good.
Strange thing is, while this is a MR1 software package, there sure are some things which are different.
The email setup for one to manually configure was completely different than my first phone.
The rear speaker is way louder than the first unit and I thought that one was loud.
The really weird part is, as soon as I opened the browser the first time and then went to load bookmarks, all of my previous bookmarks were already there. Is Google or Sprint storing this information in a cloud somewhere?
I was so taken back by this that I checked all of the various serial #'s and such to make sure they gave me the new phone, even though I watched them with it the entire time.
BTW....setting the battery to PERFORMANCE really speeds this up on this phone.

lag issues? i'm not familiar with blade buddy or that touch screen app for galaxy.
i haven't done anything *too* intensive on the phone but i have rarely experience any type of lag on this device. the lack of lagging has been very impressive to me.
if you are on the stock ROM and kernel and still experiecing lag, based on my personal experience, you might want to look into taking it back for an exchange as it could be a hardware issue.
if you don't experience the lag on a stock ROM and kernel, it might be whatever custom ROM or kernel you're using has an issue or bug. if you're on a custom ROM/kernel, also good to check in those specific threads to see if anybody else has reported a similar issue so the dev knows to look into it and resolve.
hope that helps!
Yea when I first got the phone the xda east major laggy and that's before I rooted so I guess I need to take it back then cuz this sucks...since I rooted its been flawless but couple days later the lag would come back and now my screen is becoming unresponsive at time for like 2-3 secs!!!

yea. as a last resort test, i'd flash everything back to stock and run it for a day. see if its still laggy. if it is still laggy, find good examples of when it lags so when you take it back, you can show the person how laggy it is through the examples.
hopefully you can swap out for a device w/no issues!

lol yea, given the unknown area rooting a device currently sits from a legal standpoint, i'd avoid anything related to rooting the device as a prime example.
ideally, if you're experiencing lag on the device, it will occur frequently in common tasks like making/ending a phone call or moving between text messages or moving between menus in the settings screen, etc. it makes the best case for having an issue when you're able to demonstrate it lags during normal routine operations.
hope that helps!

hah yea. working on mainly two small apps on the market, root check and flashimagegui. pondering publishing the completely stock ROM with root, busybox and some developer tools i use on my personal device (as I did publish this on the evo and it was decently popular - might be where you saw my name). also, trying to help out (give back) in the q&a boards when i can!
if you find some good common tasks which cause the device to lag, post them back here as people with the same or similar issues might find this thread through searching and it'll give them some rough benchmark to compare against.
i've yet to see this device lag through any common tasks i run. previous android phones ive had would experience lag so this device has definitely impressed me!

i put mine back to stock and my screen well freeze or lag couple times a day and i have to hit power button to put it to sleep and wake it back up to stop it from doing that and that last only a couple hours.

HTC launcher has to reload after exiting apps! Please help!

Is anyone else having this issue? Whenever I exit an app and go to the home screen, I have to wait for the home screen to load up again. EVERY TIME!
Could it be the stock task manager closing the launcher? Also can I put it on the ignore list, because I didn't see an option for that.
If anyone knows how to get rid of this inconvenience, please let me know. Thanks.

That used to happen on my EVO Shift all the time after gingerbread was released. Decreasing the number of widgets helped back then. Hopefully this is an issue that will be addressed as I have seen it mentioned a couple times.
To fix it on the Shift if you were rooted you could download an app called AutoKiller Memory Optimizer and change some setting. I can't remember since all the custom roms I used made the change. Maybe it would work in this case as well. I think the memory management section is what helped. The presets HTC uses are aggressive I think and kill off the Launcher to free up more memory before it's really needed. The app isn't really a task killer but more of an app you can use to tweak the point at which the phone starts freeing up memory.
It's happened to me after using the phone for a while. Noticed this after WiFi at home is not connected and been using the world's fastest way to get frustrated, using 3g service. What I've done is restart the phone and works excelent. Don't think that's he right answer but it's been working.

there is a fix for this in the one x forums somewhere. you have to modify and recompile some system files if you are rooted. I am not rooted, and I hate this. sense 4 is seriously hog-party sloppy
there is a way to fix it if you are rooted,
what you are doing in esense is keeping the launcher from being dropped in the menory and making it a pryority app
In terminal emulator:
type
Code:
su
Then type
Code:
echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop
and enter
Then reboot.

Been a known and frustrating problem with sense for some time.
Take a look at the last post on this thread is you want all the links that discuss this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680020
Problem started on my OG EVO a few months ago and was right back on the LTE. From reading the threads it looks like it is worse on the LTE for a lot of people. I did get a response from HTC to a Facebook post about this, they suggested I take out the battery and wait a bit then put it back in! LOL
What stopped me from going nuts about it and perhaps returning the phone was the Nova launcher which has stopped the problem completely.
Rooting and tweaking of course can solve it as well, but I'm wanting to hold off on that for a bit until we see if any major OTA will be coming out.

I can understand that for sure. But I was in the same boat about to take the thing back. I plan on flashing a ROM at some point, but want to wait until all the bugs have been worked out first.
