EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

Welp I was watching the world's cup Argentina vs Greece game, while charing the EVO via the car charger. Noticed the phone was getting warm. Ran my fingers on the back and noticed it was warmer, almost hot on the lower level Became interested in the fact that the kickstand was the part that was warmer, and thought.. Hey they are so freaking smart, they actually used the kickstand as a hidden "heat sink"!

Anyone else notice this?

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

Not to burst your bubble bud but the kick stand is made of aluminum. Aluminum has the properties to attract heat. Most 'heat sinks' are made of the same material for this reason. It just happens to be a coincidence that it disipates heat. But if it makes you feel better than by all means believe away..lol

I tell people who ask that it's the special hi-powered 4G antenna for the 4G service. Usually, I get the raised eyebrows with bulging eyes look.

Now, I have this to add to the arsenal...

"It's an aluminum heat displacment shaft!!! Helps keep it cool while using the blazing fast 4G network!!!"

I think the kickstand is great when playing music. The music is actually amplified by bouncing off my desk and sounds much better than if I'm just holding it in my hand.

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

is there any other phones that have a "kickstand" or is Evo officially the first one?

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".

Hey, don't burst his bubble. It wa a nice bubble, prolly had unicorn meat and stuff in it. You know, the other white meat, Oh, crap, hope I don't get a cease and desist order from the pork board for advocating unicorn meat.

It was a nice observation. Thank you for making it.

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

I love the kickstand. Its great for watching tv, movies i can set my pictures up to slide while on my desk.. so long as the charger is plugged in lol. Maybe its possible to use the phone as a monitor with a bluetooth keyboard for surfing the web? All phones need a kickstand you haters I dont want to have to buy a plunger like iphone users or prop my phone up ever again. Kickstand stays, lol

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

I am no fanboi, but other phones do have a kickstand; prop it up on the stack of AT&T bills.. :mrgreen:

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

How many people actually use the kickstand on a daily basis? Is it actually useful?

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".

LOL u serious? I use mine all day long, and at night too. I'd say if it's not in my hands, it spends more time in kickstand mode than on it's back.

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

I prop mine up on it, like a pimp with a limp, using it like a cane.. :evil4:

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

Like other have said, I use it alot too. Its one of those small features that worth more than its weight in gold. If the evo2 doesn't come with a kickstand, I would honestly be upset,lol. I watch a lot of videos, I use slingbox often and I video chat often and the kickstand really helps if I want to be hands free.

The HD2, with the HTC extended battery, came with a kickstand attached to the new back cover.

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

Your device might have power issues. My first EVO had a similar problem resulting in the battery overheating. I also had issues with the phone's ability to interpret touch while it was plugged in. I haven't used my new phone while Sprint tv was running, but overall my new one is much better.

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

yes i use it daily i prop it up while on my computer. it lets me see and answer texts w/o having to lift the phone up to see who wrote and what is said. even lets me hit the big ingnor.. a friend has watched tv and a movie on it says the stand is useful for that as well :headbang:

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

The kickstand is also used for RAPING IPhones!!!!...but only on the weekends. Lol

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

When my EVO sees an Iphone, it says "hey do you have some evo in you?"

They usually give a snooty response with their nose up "hell no!"..

My EVO is quick to then reply, "would you like some?" with the kickstand inching up ever so slightly... :mrgreen:

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

That is the inappropriate comment of the day! LoL That is great!!!

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

That would only be inappropriate if you smelled the kick stand after

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

Hey, don't knock it till you try it.:)

Re: EVO's Kickstand unmentioned "feature".
 

Touché!

Oh and BTW, in Japan they have vending machines for that!
