Question for people who had the EVO 4G
 
Hello,

I'm new to the EVO series. I would imagine there were a few issues when the 4G was originally released.

How long did it take for HTC to come out with their first firmware update - 3 months, 6 months? I would imagine it takes time but wonder how long it took last time just so I get a feel for it.

Thanks

It worked quite well out of the box... Only that it was slightly bogged down with unwanted Sprint Apps, otherwise Stock wasn't so bad. GPS worked great (unlike samsung), not many bugs and overall responsive. The only thing that was lacking was the battery life, but after rooting and changing roms, that became less of a problem and opened up several new options.

Try rooting, it's easy to restore back if you decide you don't like it. You have more flexibility and if there are any bugs, people are quick to try to fix their roms. Remember, unlike companies that make the phones, Cooks of roms ALSO use these roms so they will have more of an incentive to fix the bugs, at quicker rates.

The biggest improvement I saw was when 2.3.3 was released by Sprint/HTC. (I saw a significant battery life improvement - that was my only complaint with the EVO 4G).

After the 2.3.3 update, my Evo 4G was smooth as butter. My 3D right now is like my Evo 4G WITHOUT 2.3.3 update, kinda sluggish, but I'm chalking it up to that hound of a hog sense 3.0....but I like it so damn much!! Anywho.....

+1 my EVO was great after the 2.3.3 update to bad it took a year after release to run so smooth, with improved battery life.

My evo ran smooth from the beginning. Never had any major problems. After rooting and installing omj rom it ran even better. I would still be rocking a rooted evo 4g if 3d wasn't out. Photon looks nice but I would have waited for samsung galaxy s2.

In one year the Evo had about 5-6 OTA updates and went from 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3.
I never really had a problem with anything.
