Official HTC EVO Review Thread

[arsmithsr]

OK from my own knowledge and observations of sd cards and fat vs fat32. This has been a problem elsewhere as well. For instance trying to flash from the SD card. The instructions say you must be formatted to fat 32 for it to work. BUT you must also have an SD card BIGGER than 2 gigs. If you try to flash from a 2 gig or smaller card it will not work at all. You get read errors. Because FAt 32 was developed to handle drives and partitions BIGGER than 2 Gigs. the same is true the other way for fat or more properly fat 16 it was made for drives and partitions SMALLER than 2 gigs. So if as the bundo said is true and his was fat 16 I really can't believe it worked at all and that could very well be the issue. Please let us know if that is the case and if it works!

And by awesome I mean exactly the same as every model crapple has ever put out http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/02/tech...t_iphone_ipad/.

Im not listening to him, I just was showing that I am not the only person who has noticed this problem. Unlike others I come to my own conclusion, and not what a marketing campaign tells me. Ok maybe everyone here can figure out the problem, but how many of the average user base will care to take time to figure it out. Consumers do not have time to figure out what class an sd card falls in. They just want it to work. I have already put the phone on craigslist, but seems like nobody wants it. Even if I do end up having to keep it I will continue to use it as my go to guy on the crapper. I never said I hated it, you fan boys said that. I said it is not the greatest phone on the planet, and my tp2 can keep up with it. There are others that are just as good, and there are older ones that can do the some things better. The hardware is there and Android is growing up, but it aint quite there yet. Maybe in an update or 2 Android will be good enough for me. My thoughts

Switching resolution or anything else takes at least one more press.

Wish there was an easier way. You just said 3 or 4 taps easy. Novice user that could take 5 minutes to figure out. Hardware or software could have easily fixed this issue, and HTC could have fixed it either way.

you're posting on a ppcgeek website but you don't think people will figure out they need to format their memory card? I'm a fanboy because i believe otherwise, hahaha. not to mention everything you said you can't do like play special video formats or sbp tv or mobi tv or anything like that, have nothing to do with the functionality of the phone. people who buy phones look at much more then those weak media sites. its funny how you left things out like how documents to go works better then microsoft off on the tp2, you forgot to mention android has about 40x more apps in their marketplace, i can keep going. the fact that you don't want to leave windows shows your the fanboy, and a fanboy of a dying os which is worse

Seriously? There are SO MANY people on these friggin forums that bitch if something takes more than 1 tap on the screen to accomplish something. Boo hoo.
