You're joking, right? There are rooted ROM's all over the place that allow removing the bloatware. And what do you mean about Sprint Nav, Amazon, Qik, etc., "popping up" and hogging battery life? They use some storage memory for the app, but I haven't seen any of those apps opening by themselves.

Do I have to update? I have had absolutely zero problems with my EVO and my battery life is awesome . . . I don't want to mess it up with this update.

Is it necessary to install this update to run more updates down the line?

For those that haven't gotten the notice to update, you can update it manually under settings/update/manual.

I finally did it at 6:25 and from others said expected it not to be done until 7. But it was actually done much sooner around 6:5~ something. So not even the 30 mins other suggested. I quickly checked all widgets and installed programs, no obvious problems yet. If I come across anything I'll throw it up though.

good luck!

Ok doing update now, it says System update ( paused) with the lines going, is this supposed to happen? if so how long does this go.

Why did you do the OTA? Don't you guys ever learn? The OTA is already cooked into rooted ROM's, without blocking tethering, etc. Once you apply this OTA, you may have a wait in store to get a rooted phone.

Got my phone from BB less than a week ago. I'm thinking of taking it back and getting an unrooted phone just so I can have free tethering.

I don't have a need for root on the evo yet. The only thing I might want, I can do on my touch pro with wm wifi router!

Why is HTC doing this? Smells like Apple around here.
